I found 1984 to be actually kind of scary..all things considered. Just look at society today...we are in fact in reality heading in their direction of having no privacy for instance web cams...anybody can see you if they really wanted..scary thought but it's true! And what about WAR IS PEACE. never ending war! Just read the news (US vers Iraq)! Anyway, I found that the symbolism that Orwell uses to be absolutly amazing and well done espacially the paperweight...it's Winston's own little world, his his dreams of how life should be...peaceful, calm and full of serenity..but...his little world ends and his dreams are shattered when the Thought Police find them. After reading Animal Farm, this book really, really shows the dangers of a totaltarian gouvernement. I would definalty ecommend this book!
