Keira W. Part 3, Prompt 8 "For an idea to exist, we must have words to express it."

In the book 1984, they had examples how some people would post signs like "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" , and show what they expressed about "BIG BROTHER". But in their society anyone caught bashing "Big Brother" was to be put to punishment. In reality, wouldn't you think words speak louder than actions sometimes, and in this situation words mean a big thing to these people in the book. Just the whole concept of not being able to express your personal thoughts, really gets to me, because I couldn't imagine living in a society not being able to say how you feel, without getting punished. The fact of the matter is that everyone's voice should always be heard.

i think that you need to further discuss the prompt rather than a seperate topic. You didn't really address whether or not words are a neccessity for expression
