Book Review/Summary - 1984

1984 is a book written by George Orwell about 50 years ago. It depicted the way life would be in 1984.

In that book, the government controlled all aspects of individuals lives. They were in people's homes monitoring everything that a person did.

It was even illegal to think outside of what the government wanted people to think. They called it thought crime and the people that committed it were thought criminals.

The book was an obvious exaggeration, but it is a very popular book that is commonly read in the later years of high school.

Life in our real world now is far from what the book suggests, but there are some truths in it. People are quite controlled by media, corporations, and government.
