1984 (part 2)

I generally enjoyed this book. It had difficult language but after awhile it got easier.  The story is about a man named Winston. Winston decides to rebel against Big brother. Big brother is basically a group of people who monitor everyone to make sure nobody does anything disapproved of or illegal. The group's ultimate goal is to rid the world of emotion or individuality. If anybody shows any emotion or individuality they will arrested, tortured, and killed. I think the main power of this book is the idea of Big brother. Basically the idea that privacy would be taken away and self expression wouldn't be aloud. It is a very interesting concept and is hard to think about. I liked this book although the ending was unsatisfying. I recommend this to the majority of people in the class.
