1984

I like this book. The language is difficult but once you get into the groove of things it becomes easier. It has a clever story, a lot of symbolism, and beautiful language. The story is about a man named Winston. Winston decides to rebel against Big brother. Big brother is a man, but also is somewhat of a system. Big brother (well technically the minions of big brother) watches everyone and everything. Emotions and ideas that stray from the norm are prohibited, punishable by death. Big brother controls you, the world around you, and your thoughts. I think that this book is clever well written and very interesting, even for people who are not interested in science fiction. I would recommend this book to most people in this class but ask that they keep in mind the difficulty of the language.
