A Report on the novel 1984, by George Orwell

The Importance of 1984

1984 was a very important book.  First, it helped show where communism was headed, and helped create repulsion towards Communism.  Before this book (and Animal Farm) a lot of people thought Communism was a good thing.  The major mainstream generally neutral about it, but this book really opened up and showed what a bad idea it was, because it showed where communism was headed, not a place where everyone was equal, but a place that was once that and evolved into a horrible totalitarian government that could never be toppled.  Second, I'm not sure whether this book could last for years for generations to enjoy.  Although I hope it remains a favorite, it was really ment as a political novel of the 20th century.  It could still last though, if people don't forget about the 20th century, or something similar to communism appears in the future. (and even if that doesn't happen, it will probably still be liked because it's just a good book)   Also, it would be ironic if something sim!
ilar to "newspeak" comes about, English is forgotten and this book would be unreadible.  Third, I think this shows an interesting portrait of human life.  It's true, the upper class always tries to stay upper, the middle class tries to join the upper class, and the lower class wants everyone to be equal.  Forth, I think this book would go very good in a series.  I don't mean exactly sequels, but the "world of 1984", a series of books that shows Big Brother's rise to power, and who he really is, stories about Eastasia and Eurasia, what's going on in the Inner Party, a visit to the place where the telescreens are monitored, et cerera (by the way, I think there might be a sequel, I'm not sure.  I saw a book that's supposed to be similar, only it's in the year 2000 and written by a different author, and it was written in the last two years)  Well, I hoped I proved why 1984 is my favorite book, I guess.

Summary of 1984
