Alright alright alright, i wanted to be in on all the "big brother" jokes...and im getting there. but basically what i've read so far in my catch up game is that my boy Winston Smith lives in a crazy communistic place called Ociana...controlled and run by these different "Parties" but not the fun kind of parties...like if you sneeze they might execute you, i think the term they use is vaporize. which means much more, theres an entire party thats purpose is to make it seem like you've never existed. it's like they've got a party for everything it seems like. now, because im supposed to dive a little deeper, and i've been trying to, ummm i have been noticing that this book has many similarities with other books of these sorts, in sophomore year in mr d's class we read about a guy named equality, who had a very similar situation. these must be common i guess. but yea, he lived in a crazy place just like this, he even had the crush on the girl thing goin on too. its like this is just a much more detailed in depth version of that book...whose name i can't remember. also, another connection i made with another book that i read last year, "the giver," and in that book they "released" people instead of "vaporizing" them. so i dont know what was going on with everybody back in these times when these books were written, or if they all collaborated with each other, but i was finding many similarities between different authors and their stories.
