A few words about 1984

The novel 1984 was written by George Orwell, published in Boston, New York, in the year 1949. It is dystopian fiction, and sets place in the year 1984 in London, which is a part of the nation Oceania. Winston is the main character and is a low ranking party member. the party and their leader Big Brother control every aspect of it's peoples' lives, they watch and listen to them 24/7 with devises like the telescreans and microphones. the party says that whatever they say is true, and to prove it they destroy and rewrite anything that can prove them wrong, like historical facts and things they have already said. Winston hates the party and their control over everything. one day he decides to buy a diary to write down his thoughts against the party and Big Brother. one day he has a chance encounter with O'Brian, a high ranking member of the inner party, and believes that O'Brian is someone to be trusted. based on this belief he tries to contact O'Brian. a woman by the name of Julia catches Winston's eye, and after she gives him a note that reads "i love you" they start to have an affair. after a while they get and apartment and begin to live there. they meet with O'Brian and begin their membership of the underground organization by the name of the Brotherhood, set to destroy Big Brother and the party. after receiving and reading The Book from O'Brian, Winston and Julia are found by the party and labeled as enemies of the party, and taken to the ministry of love to be "fixed" and conform to the parties laws. i really liked the attention to detail in this novel. it does in depth about the history of the world and the party, and tells how it would be like to live in a totalitarian society. i enjoyed every big of the book, it was slow at times, and i wanted to skip the part that Winston is reading The Book, but other then that it was great. i would highly recommend this book. it has a great story that keeps you turning pages for hours, and has great messages about human nature, and governments and their campaign for more power.
