1984!

I finished reading "1984" written by George Orwell just now. I'm wondering whether I choose this book for book report or not. The publication of "1Q84" written by Haruki Murakami was the trigger for reading this book. Let me introduce this story a little bit. This novel describes the awful world which is governed by totalitarianism in the future. In this world, our all right such as thought, life style or language are controled by the government completely and the government tries to destroy our own identity thoroughly. The only thing what we can do is to be the faithful slave towards the government and if we were not loyal to the doctrine in the country, we would train to be suitable for the society... After reading this novel, I first felt the terror because we cannot deny the situations like this novel in the future and was very surprised that George Orwell wrote this novel in 1949.
