4th Post on my First Book: 1984

I think there are current situations in the world that relate to the book. One of the examples is South Korea. South Korea is still under the control of communism, and people living there has limited freedom and beliefs. They were made to believed, or brainwashed, that their leader, Jung-Ill Kim, is the god, and they learn a -perspected history and background of the world. Unfortunately, most people there believe that what they learn is true. In the novel, everything in the world, laws, acts, and even people's thoughts, is controlled by a group of people, and everyone in that world is forced to believe that it is true. Unfortunately, the book gives no solution on how the current situations can be resolved or fixed.

2nd Post on my First Book: 1984

This novel’s mood is gloomy and dark. This story stayed dark from the beginning till the end, but mostly near the back.
This “1984” saddens me a lot. If I was to live in that world, I would not even survive one whole day. The book describes the world as a miserable and unendurable place.

1st Post on my First Book: 1984

Okay, so the first book I’m reading is 1984. The climax of this book is when the main characters of this book, Winston Smithy and Julia, get caught by a Thought Police, Mr. Carrington, who they thought was trustworthy, for committing a thought crime. Winston and Julia were sleeping when the Police arrested them.
This event made me think that this world is full of mistrust and risks. I kind of feel sorry for Winston and Julia for getting betrayed by somebody who they trusted.
