In chapters 6 and 7, Orwell spends quite a bit of time discussing the ironic idea of removing pleasure or desire from any intimate/sexual act.
As many of you have already asked, this makes it difficult to increase the population, but Big Brother seems to have that figured out. At the same time, the government also allows certain parts of society to have pleasures in a way to 'control' them.
What do you think Orwell is trying to say about the issue of a) pleasure, b) letting only certain types of people have pleasure, and c) controlling all parts of society in these ways?
Response: 5+ sentences. Try to use a specific part of the text (a quotation!!!) to make your point. But feel free to expand creatively, too.

BTW, this was a real cover for the book in the first few years it came out.
Why do you think the publishers went with this cover design given what you've already read?
Feel free to add to your original answer if you'd like.
Hint, hint, hint.
