What are the warning signs? How do we heed them? What are appropriate actions?

 Examples of leaders not upholding our constitutional rights:  Napoleon and the other pigs changing the seven commandments for their own benefit.  Making the animals work long hours with little compensation  Brainwashing animals into thinking there is a lot of food and good living conditions  Napoleon taking credit for Snowball’s windmill idea  Napoleon and the pigs going against the original idea of Animalism.

 Examples of how to heed the situation:  Hard to heed the situation because the other animals were not as smart as the pigs  They were being brainwashed  Scared to act against Napoleon  They would almost realize that something was wrong, but they weren’t smart enough and the pigs convinced them otherwise.

 Examples of leaders not upholding our constitutional rights:  Party has too many restrictions No privacy No private thoughts No opinions or feelings No freedom  Party changes the past

 Examples of how to heed the situation:  Winston writing in journal  Buying the paperweight  Winston and Julia’s relationship  Winston renting out the room above Mr. Charrington’s shop  Most people are brainwashed from the Party’s lies so they don’t know their constitutional rights are not being upheld
