1984

I finished reading the book with my dad and decided to post about it because I'm glad i read it.The book is written in 1934 by George Orwell.He is talking about how in 1984 people will be controlled constantly and wont have a mind of their own.There will be no freethinking because if there is it automatically be braking the rules.The Party and Big Brother are working together and lying to the people.While the standards are going down and getting worse they're telling the people that the standards are higher and getting better.Winston Smith doesn't like Big Brother and Party,he tries to be a free thinker but O'brian tells that to the Tough Police.Winston tough that O'brian is a freethinker as well,but he isn't. Winston on the end is forced to think like everybody else and loved Big Brother.

The book is just amazing.While reading it i realized some thing that I might have never got to realize or not think about it sooner.1984 just opened my eyes.The book was hard to read at first but after a while you get what the writer is trying to apply and you catch up to the events so you get it.You get whats the scenery about and how true it all actually is.The way people are controlled in the book is the same as today.In the book everyone is being watched all the time, today the internet,TV, commercials, advertisements,etc. are controlling us in a way.Facebook has us 'hooked' on it for the whole day.People being 'no lifers' got so critical that we had to think of a way how can we take out computers or laptops and have it open for us to use all the time,anywhere.So what did people do? They tough of mini laptops and than even handier devices soon iPhone's Galaxy's,touch screen and other things came.Now people don't even need their computers or laptops they can do anything on their phones.They can be on Facebook, Skype,Messenger,Instagram,blogger,etc all the time.Not having to go offline.Everything around us these days is controlling us,just like in the book.
All of the things that control us today
Small but evil
George Orwell was writing how will it be in 1984 and he was right.He was a 100% right.The only thing is that no body believed him than and now no body can believe that he was that accurate. I was just amazed with the book.The experience and what you go trough while reading the book is just amazing and i cant describe it.You would just have to read the whole book and experience it your self to understand everything i am talking about.
