After reading the reviews I felt assured this was actually just a copy of 1984. Upon receiving the book today though, I was bewildered to find that it was more of a cheat-guide to the novel and not the novel itself. I'm not looking to write an essay, I just wanted to read 1984 again.. So this book serves no purpose for me.

1984 is a really horrifying book, but only if you know the principles of government. It's rather like Animal Farm in that respect. I read the book over and over, never getting tired of it, especially the near-ending. Parts of it are confusing: like, is O'Brien a good guy or a bad guy or what? The ending I found disappointing, but it would have been unrealistic for Winston and Julia to come out on top. I guess 1984 is supposed to show the harshness of totalitarianism and the fruitlessness of fighting against them. Overall, a good book, but not for the young or sensitive.

I must first of all say that i see Gordon Brown as a modern day Winston Churchill. there is thought control, mind reading etc etc etc, we all know this. the double speak on television etc etc etc. dumbing down, we all know this, but for a while perhaps these things are necessary. the crematoria in london have been working over time these last few weeks. but its not without that affects the quality of life, its whats within.
direct confrontation is not the answer. diplomacy is needed. the police and military should be peaceful and diplomatic, they shoul send women pcs to demonstrations, without any form of armour, or weaponry. diplomacy is needed from all sides. as Brown has mentioned, a new order is arising. lets wait and see if it is any better. try not to use violence, shame and sacrifice in the model of the early christians is needed, prayer and love, with much subtlety and legal guarantees. realize that many a promise has been broken in the past.
with very much love, from snow-flake, may the almighty God bless you all. by me.
