*1984 Question 8

For my choice of entry, I want to write about what I felt about this novel, 1984. When I saw the cover of this book and saw how thick this book was, I really didn’t want to read it. I also thought how a book cannot catch one’s attention at all. It looked so boring and hard when I saw the font size in the book. When I read about two to three chapters, my mind didn’t change; I felt the same. As I read this novel, 1984, I asked my dad what I should do to understand and enjoy this book better and he told me to do a simple research on this novel. And I did. It was much better when I had basic information about the book. It was easier for me to read this book because I now knew the setting and all that. I thanked my dad. It was hard for me to read this book for my own, but once I understood it I found it interesting. The one fact that I found interesting when I was researching about this book was that it was written before 1984 and it’s all Orwell’s prediction and view how the future society will look like and how worse it will be in the future. I especially liked this book’s ending. I think this book is very creative and fascinating. After I finished this novel, I told my dad that I really enjoyed reading this book and he said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, Angela.”
