Lets giv a round of a plause to George Orwells book, 1984. Over all, the book 1984 was really well written. It is a well made prediction about what our future might really hold. In the book ,a boy and a girl meet and want to be together. They decide to play it cool and meet at differnt places. They then decide to join a group known as the brotherhood to bring down their government, Big Brother. they were then caught and brought in because the brotherhood was a fake. They were tortured and had to confess that they loved Big Brother. 1984 is a really great book and is most likely not in your room 101.:thumbsup:

Yes, but 1984 is not just about the plot of the story. It's a warning, told in the underlying themes. It's a book, where to understand it you have to think about what Orwell is truly saying. Not just the words that he is writing, but the meaning behind them. And by doing that it doesn't make the book harder, or more difficult to understand. It makes the process of reading 1984, more enjoyable because you get the whole meaning of the book. And yes the plot does make the book "the book", but when you read into his warnings and meanings you can take away a lot more than a good story.
