1984, by George Orwell Essay

by Elliott

Let us remember that, at the end of 1936, Orwell fought for the Republicans (against Franco) in Spain, where he was wounded. We know that Orwell’s 1984 (published in 1949) was given this title because the novel was written in 1948, just after the end of the Second World War and the fall of Hitler’s Nazi regime. At that time, Stalin’s U.S.S.R. still deported the enemies of the Party to gulags and the Cold War between this country and the United States of America had just begun. U.S.S.R would remain the most totalitarian regime till Stalin’s death in 1953.

There is so much of this book that I didn't remember reading when I had to read it for school - which makes me wonder if i even read it at all. I had a difficult time getting into it, but once I got past the first 40 or so pages, I had a hard time putting it down. The writing & imagination are classic & at times, heart stopping. I'm glad I decided to re-read this one & I'm am glad I pushed through to the end - it was worth it!

I did not like this book at all. I did not like it because it was boring and it was confusing. I had to read this for a class, and I thought it would be a fun book to read. It turned out that it was the most boring book that I ever read in my life. When I first started to read it I was a little bit entertained by it, but then it got boring after a chapter or two. I would not reccomend it to anybody.

Well I really didnt like the book. But like towards the mid-end I loved the book . It could have been more action involved in the book. Maybe I would have liked it better.

En certs moments se'm va fer força feixuc, tot i això, vaig entendre la gran admiració que posseeix. Un cop acabada la lectura, vaig acabar força trastocat fruit de les reflexions que plantejava.
