We didn't have the "Senior Thesis" in my school days, but if we had, mine would have been "George Orwell's "1984:" Blueprint for a Glorious Future!"

It would have combined the society described in the book with the rhetoric of all my authority figures from my mother to school teachers to Dick Nixon, arguing in favor of the police state on steroids that Orwell imagined.

It's purpose, of course, would be to terrify the authority figures who would read it.

It would be pure satire, of course....maybe for substack.
