Last 1984 Post!!!WOOH WHOO!!!

So now you are done with the book. Why did we read it? What did we get out of it?

For punishment...to continue the theme of science fiction and the furure. LLLAAAMMMEEE!!!
We read Brave New World and 1984 not to predict the future but to prevent it. This statement is true when it comes to the two books. It wasn't punishment to read the two books it wasjust really lame and boring. 1984 and Brave New World gave us an idea or brain storm on what could possibly be ahead of is. What a horrible future to live. Orwell and Huxley had quite an imagination of what the 80's could be.

What is 1984 and what does it mean today? Why is it still relevant? What lessons do we learn from it that are still applicable to today's world?


1984 is a book of science fiction and future. The characters of the book are under the power of a Utopia. Big Brother holds all the power for the worst.But there is a "rebel" who is amongst the Utopia. Winston, continuously breaks the laws, caught by the though police, writing in his journal. Along side Winston is Julia, a girl who "lives on the edge". Julia is there for the thrill of rebellion, and once she is caught just shrugs it off. They both saw it coming and new it was along the road.
Winston and Julia are both tortured and held have gaurds as caretakers.

1984 is a book full of power, rebellion and love. Julia and Winston are taken to a place called the Ministry of Love. In the end Winston gives up Julia as Obrien wanted. Winston is free and looks back upon those years of totalitarianism power and Big brother watching over all of them and the thought police.

Books like 1984 and Brave New World give us a science fiction look at what the future can turn into. Helps us prevent what can come unto us. Whether or not you loved the books or felt as if these were punishments, it all was worth it.
