Although I am a fast reader, I have not gotten very far in the book just yet but so far it is pretty interesting. At first I thought Winston actually had no privacy in his mind and the thought police could actually read your mind.
ReplyDeleteSo far I think the mood of the book is very frightening. Can you imagine that you have no where to escape from Big Brother watching you? You have no freedom of thought or no freedom of reaction. Everything has to be in line with what the government orders. But now Winston has a way to avoid Big Brother, and he is actually taking the chance. I wonder would I do the same. Would I stand up against the oppression or would I live in the oppress state. Would I try to escape to find the others who did rebell and are living outside of this area?
