1984 has been my favorite book since I was in early high school. Have you read it?
I have, we also read it in school. I loved it. The dystopian novel is an interesting genre and I love to see what Orwell thought the world would be like.
Nineteen Eighty-Four
I love the idea of the "Thought Police", persecuting independent thinking and other "thoughtcrimes".
Yes there is a huge political lesson in it, which is why I think it is so often taught. I also loved the literature elements.
Orwell is a great writer. I love his lucid prose, and how he weaves that style into his support of democratic socialism.
Nineteen Eighty-Four
Orwell's idea of "doublespeak" is something that is still prevalent today, such as when companies mention "downsizing" for layoffs.
It's terribly unsettling ideas. I loved the small escapes he found like the old lovely paperweight.
