Exercise: Integrating sources (MLA) 2
Read the following passage and then determine whether the items that follow incorporate the quotation smoothly and accurately in MLA style. If the source is incorporated into the writer’s sentence appropriately, click “OK.” If the quotation is inaccurately or poorly incorporated into the sentence, click “Unacceptable.”
Click Submit after each question to see feedback and to record your answer. If your instructor has assigned this exercise set, you must answer every question before your answers will be submitted to the gradebook.
In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?
From page 69 of the novel 1984 by George Orwell (Signet, 1990).

Orwell notes in 1984 that the real horror of life under Party dominance is that “[n]ot merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy” (69). There is no objective truth, only the truth as the Party recognizes it.

Orwell’s 1984 asks tough questions about how much reality can be manipulated. Is it true, the main character wonders, “that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?” (69).

In 1984, Orwell explains that the Party in the book’s totalitarian society rejects “the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy” (69). An alternate reality—that officially approved by the Party—is all that remains to the characters who must live in this world.

As Orwell explains in 1984, the most terrible thing about the Party insisting that two plus two equals five would not be “that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right” (69). Death, then, strikes the characters in this society as preferable to the complete destruction of what was once known as reality.
