In the book are you born into being a Party member / prole? Can you cross over from being a prole to a Party member and vice versa? I would think to leave the Party and become a prole would constitute some sort of crime and be punishable but I don't recall this subject being broached in the book.

I suppose, although it doesn't say explicitly in the book, that you could, if you showed qualities making you suitable to be a party member, then the Party may hire you from the proles. Although they did not have telescreens in the prole areas, except for hidden ones, people like the party informer who ran the antique shop and gave Winston and Julia away (sorry I forgot his name), might have been planted in prole areas not only to catch dissenters, but also scout proles for the Party, i.e. he could very well be a sort of O'Brien in reverse, spotting proles rebelling against prole life, and initiating them into the Party instead.
It would seem like insiders in the Party would need fresh blood from time to time, as Party members were frequently vaporised to remove potential threats, besides, not all children of the Party members would not have been suitable for the party.
However, it seems unlikely any prole would have the qualities required, since the proles are shown to be brainwashed people with no knowledge or understanding of the Party and the State.
Lastly, I wonder, is there any use to speculation like this.

You are not born a party member but the way it looks, it is much more possible for children of party members to become themselves party members. There is some upwards movement between proles-party members-inner party but is very limited. Deserting the party is obviously not possible. You may be thrown out like the chiefs of opposition and those who are considered traitors.

I don't recall either, and it's been years since I've read the book. I believe part of the premise was that the proles were generally more contented than the party members.

No, membership isn't a birthright. The Party chooses those who are members. BB reps round them up young and raises them in the system. If the parents are Party members, then the kids may remain with the parents, as little spies for BB.
I think from the general info, that you are right about leaving the Party. Doing so would be like desertion, and punishable, in the way Smith was punished for his wish to join the brotherhood.

So allow me get this immediately. they have given you this homework on a e book that you're not to any extent further via study till when you've handed contained in the homework? tell me this isn't yet another nice party of state coaching. ok Orwell in 30 seconds. Orwell become born in a time once you've undesirable adult men like Hitler and Stalin operating amock. The BB charactor is type of a mish mash of both. In eighty 4 the conception become that a chap named Smith lived in a totalitarian state. television might want to observe and be watched. So in case you've been no longer doing all of your morning artwork out, and they grew to develop into onto you once you wern't they'd punish you. you've entire surveylance. secret police and so on. Smith tries to rebellion. He starts up an afair with a lady (fairly fround upon by utilising the state, considering the fact that those relationships are deamed risky by utilising the state.) . Britain in eighty 4 is at warfare. this is been at warfare for a at the same time as. No fairly warfare exists, although the state pretends that they are at warfare as a fashion to regulate the populous and to advance production. Smith rents an condominium with out a television so as that he can proceed his affair. the properly outcome is that the state knows each and everything that he's doing and, on the perfect second, arests him and his lover. he's interigated and finally leads to room one 0 one (the position the position all of your nightmares come real). They damage him and he finally ends up betraying his lover. She does an same for him. After re-programming him he's disbursed, a damaged, yet party toeing guy, back into the populous to artwork in a lifeless production facility job. many of the symbolism used contained in the e book and the movie will be regularly occurring to all those who has considered a fascist information genuine. Now, extremely than interpreting the e book quickly, pass out and skim the Video. this does no longer have as a lot element because the e book, yet grant you with a sturdy widespread idea which will be useful you answer this question. success

The Party picks it's members. Some parts of 1984's negative utopia are with us now. Cameras everywhere, "crime" TV, and things Orwell hadn't thought of. Urine tests for employment. The computer's capacity for "information"...and it's potential invasive uses. We still need the Winstons' among us.
