I am glad we got to read 1984. Even though I thought the book was very boring at first I liked the message. This book got me thinking about a lot and questioning a lot. It made me look at things differently and wonder more. I have also been able to relate what happened in the book to things happening today. For example, when I am in history class, a lot of things my teacher talks about that are happening make me think of events in the book. These are current events and pass events. This book opens your mind to the things happening around you and shows you what we could end up living in. I think even though it is boring high school students will learn a lot from it. It would be nice if all students got the chance to read it.
One of the parts I liked the best was in the end, how the party changed his whole mind set. How he went from being a rebel to believing and following the party. He gave up his love for Julia and everything he believed in. I think that this part really shows how scary the government can get, when it gets the power to change how you think, what you believe in and how you act. This part should alert people into not letting the government get this powerful and keeping a balance. Overall I learned a lot and I hope something like this never happens.
