1984 Book 1 | Chapter 4 - Reading in the Ministry of Truth

Hello hello lovely friends! Welcome to the fourth chapter of book one of 1984. We have managed to work our way through the world of 1984 and find places to sneak around and hide while reading. We now find ourselves sheltering at the back of an office in the ministry of truth (or minitrue in newspeak). Hopefully we can finish reading and studying the chapter before some people come and see what we are doing. I hope that you can sit back, relax, and have a lovely little listen to this episode of 1984 by George Orwell. Nineteen Eighty-Four is public domain in Australia. This video is intended as a public service, to educate and entertain. To provide a relaxing and effective way of communicating one of the best works of literature to a target audience (being the ASMR audience). I have decided to put a little more production value into this series. The first series I did on my channel was of Animal Farm, and to honour this tradition I thought it right to increase my efforts. #1984 is a classic, it is mentioned all throughout culture. #Orwellian is a popular description, basically describing a situation in real life which is negative in George Orwells eyes to having a good society - as depicted in his writings. What does ASMR Mean? Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson. ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control. A genre of videos which intend to stimulate ASMR has emerged, of which over 13 million are published on YouTube (Wikipedia, 2020). Its basically a tingly and relaxed feeling you get, caused by certain cues we call in the community 'triggers'. #ASMR is a massive trend, its videos, its not a job (asmrtist :O) but originally it describes the feelings of #tingles.
