1984 - The Book


In the holidays I decided to read the book so I could get a better understanding of what the story was about so that I could understand what the political views and atmosphere was like at the time. The books themes are love, control, power and opinions.


I really enjoyed reading this book because it meant that I could understand Winston's thoughts and the situation he was in. From the book I can understand that he is living in a world controlled by 'Big Brother' and they people can not have opinions or there own thoughts.

By reading the book I was able to come up with locations for our play and also I already knew about the 'telescreeen' (how they are always being watched) and 'Room 101' (the place that no one wants to go to.)

I think reading the book will really help me in this project but I would also like to see the film, here is the trailer:
