1984

Reader reviewed by breathemoonlite

Ever get the feeling that "they" are watching? Ever wonder who is really in control?
Big Brother knows all in this classic Orwellian future. Take a peek into the "future" which is now our past. Where children can turn in thier parents for just a thought and even your dreams can get you arrested. Where you are being watched every minute of everyday, and your once enemy can be your friend and switch back again before you can straighten it out in your own brain.
What if teh government controlled everything you saw, heard, said, and words themselves were being distroyed to gain even more.

Imagine a world where you were not free, could not do your Daly activities, and above all you do not have the right to freedom of speech. This is how George Orwell presets his book, 1984. it was written during the time of the cold war, so he predicted what life would be like in 1984, he is obviously wrong but some of his points are right, and it is a scary thought that what the story tells us can still happen. It has strong political opinions about what the government can do or has done. It is one of the most important books of all time. I recommend this book to anybody who opposes the war on Iraq, and has political ides

I think this book was really cool and dark, but kind of frightening at the same time. I don't know how he came up with this stuff, since he was like one of the first ones to do it and now everyone copies him.

If you don't already know, 1984 was like a futuristic novel (at the time) where Big Brother (the government) watches everyone and controls everything and rewrites history every time they start a war with someone else.

There's this guy that falls in love with someone but it is forbidden. They get found out and threatened and give each other up and wind up back where they started more or less.

With all the current controversy about where to draw the line on constitutional rights, 1984 is a great read. It explores the issues of what the world can become if take these rights for granted. It also explores the philosophies of Kent, and of what love truly means and how fragile life and the human spirit can become if it is suppressed long enough.
