    1984 assignment ideas?

    Basically we have to write in the perspective of either winston smith to future generations in a diary format about " How I live" or Julia writing a letter to Winston on "How to Live"

    I have no idea which one is better, what do you guys think is the best one to talk about, im worried if i pick julia's i wont have enough to say, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Forget Orwell. Read Huxley if you want some genuine history. But even Huxley must be dropped apart from history, because Brave New World has been overcome. Reading Huxley today, to get something apart from history, would be like reading the manual of a washing machine from GE, during the times of Huxley.

    Cafolini, he can hardly "forget Orwell" if Orwell's his assignment.

    Faiint, "better" is in the eye of the beholder, and it looks like you answered your own question when you said you worried about having enough to say with Julia. If you have only two choices and are unsure about one....
