Ridicule all you want , the point of the book is to ask question and dont blindly follow your government

[@digaddog6099]

Not really, its true that you should think fir yourself and have distrust for the government, but 1984 is really about psychology. How, by limiting the number of words and their meanings, you can by extension limit thought. How, by having your target know their being watched, you can force them to police their own head. It deals with other subjects, but "dont trust the government" is a very milquetoast interpretation.

[@Isy.p]

George Orwell was describing the Soviet Union in 1984 way before the Cold War and made chilling references like ‘big brother’. He also wrote animal farm which talks about communism and I have actually read that and it is so interesting because on one hand, it’s a kinda gory story about animals taking over the farm and on the other, it describes the grim realities of communism and dictatorship. I am 13 and I understood it but I would probably recommend it for kids like 14+ because if you read it, you definitely want to be able to understand all the references.
