In the novel 1984, there is someone by the name of “big brother.” There would be signs around reading, “Big Brother is Watching You,” giving a signal that whatever you do, he’s watching, and there’s consequences for any poor decisions. In relation to big brother in real life, I believe that the principals everywhere take the place of his similar resemblance in life.
The way how they can figure out anything that’s happening all around the school has a big brother feeling to it. For example, if you’re eating in the halls of the school, there seems to be a principal in almost every corner, just waiting to find someone’s wrongdoing, and they find out fast. There are also security cameras everywhere in the school so that automatically gives another feeling that they’re like big brother.
There are most likely other people everywhere that are somewhat similar to “big brother,” such as parents, the police, the president, and so on, though the principals of ROHS, and any other school, to me, feel the most like big brother.
