In the beginning, it was around April of 1984 in London. I did a little research on what happened that time and found this.
April 4: Peace protesters were evicted from the Greenhan Common Women's Peace Camp
April 9: 100+ pickets were arrest at Creswell colliery in Derbyshire and the Babbington colliery in Nottinghamshire.
April 12: Arthur out rules a national ballot of miners on the topic to continue their strike.
April 17: Yvonne Fletcher was shot and killed by a gunman.
(All information from Wikipedia.)
Do you think the Arthur predicted well? Is there a connection of some sort? Any comments?

I'm not really sure.
ReplyDelete& who's Yvonne Fletcher?
ReplyDeleteBut I think it was good that you researched this because if you think about it, it kind of relates, since in 1984, in real life, protesters were arrested, evicted and killed, which is a basic right [freedom of speech]. In the book, people are restricted, maybe in more extreme ways, but are also not given the right to free speech.
okey... I thought this might be a little helpful when I didn't get what was going on in the book, but this seem like it's confusing me also...
