1984- a metaphor

"Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell’s narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time."

It is really hard to explain this book, so I took the description right from the Barnes and Noble website, haha. Reading this was an extraordinary experience. Once I finished it, I was overwhelmed with thoughts about how screwed up our society is. I think that is exactly what George Orwell was wanting when readers were done. I like to study political theories...and this is a work of political fiction. Imagine a government that is trying to limit you range of thought by creating a language where forming an opinion is impossible. Horrible, right?? That is the reality for Winston, the main character.

Overall, this book is an 11 out of 10 and along with recommending this book, I'm going to suggest you read Animal Farm by George Orwell if you didn't sophomore year.
