We had two peaces of information. On the one side we had the novel and on the
other hand we had the song in the internet. And now we had to work out the
common determinations.
One thing is, that in both texts is a person named "Big Brother" mentioned, who
can see everything. That means, the state is controlled in all parts of
their life by one person.
Something that is different in the two texts is, that in the Internet song is
described that you can go were you want to, that means you have a kind of
personal freedom. But in the novel you haven`t got that freedom to go and to do
what you want.
At the end you can see that there are advantages and disadvantages on both
texts.
