1984 by george orwell which modern day equivalent (fictional character or actual person) is like winston smith? this is part of a project i am working on and for the life of me i can't some up with someone similar. we have recently discussed winston and edward snowden being similar but i don't want to base half of my project on something we have already done. if anyone can leave suggestions, that would be great!

Here is a suggestion for you:

When looking deeply into the characteristics of the character Winston Smith within the novel _1984_ by George Orwell, we can see that he has plain, ordinary, and everyday qualities that make this character quite believable in terms of “this could be a real person.”   As such, it is possible for anyone to see himself or herself as Winston Smith, which makes the novel all the more believable.  One thing you could do (because the directions you provided do not state the modern day equivalent needs to be famous; however, it is always best to ask your teacher if this would be okay) is draw correlations between yourself and Winston Smith.  Again, the characteristics of Winston are such that it is possible for most readers to see elements of themselves within the character of Winston.  As such, you could be quite possible for you to present arguments for you seeing yourself as a modern day equivalent, and you would obviously know yourself better than anyone in existence (or fictional) so much so that the arguments for this equivalence could be quite strong.

i think there should be answer choices
