Book Blog #4, 1984

1984                                                                                                                 By George Orwell
Winston Smith grew up before the revolution, but lives after with no recollection of his past. He lives in the new world, but he doesn't agree with all of their policies and is curious about his past. The thought police can catch you no matter what, because they can monitor your thoughts. Children are willing to turn their own parents in to the thought police if they see suspicious behavior. Winston has thoughts against the lifestyle, but to think them could be life risking. Will he follow what he thinks is right?

"On each landing, opposite the lift shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. Big Brother  Is Watching You, the caption beneath it read."
I like this line because it was at the beginning of the book and it helped me to understand what the book is about. it also really helped me to understand where they were living and what it was like. It helped me understand what their communities in general are like, and it also tells me about what they believe.
There is quite a bit of romance, and very minor language.
