finishing the novel 1984 by george orwell...(whose real name is eric blair) has really peaked my interest in dystopian novels. even in 1948 when orwell wrote the book he had similar fears for the future as we do now. the future is unwritten, yes, but what happens when the past is too? are we all really trapped in our bodies? (our minds suffering to escape this trap.... fail) maybe the fact that winston doesnt die in the end is more tragic then him actually dying. if he was dead his mind would be free.... if he could only defy big brother. but he can't now. i really liked this novel... i give it a thumbs up ..especailly if you want a novel that makes you think really deep. next up.. animal farm :) (well after this quarter ends anyway.)

----- well.. if that is even true anymore.
ps. orwell wrote the novel in '49 not '48
