So I've just read 1984 by George Orwell for a school assignement, and I actually thought it was good.

Now I have to come up with a couple of good questions about the book that are easy to discuss, but my brain is dead. Help?

Why wouldn't this work in America?

Would an orwellian society do my homework for me?

We see threads like this several times a day. Homework requests are never appreciated and will not be fulfilled. Please delete the thread and do your own work; you won't get any easy answers from us.

It's not that I'm lazy, It's that my friend who is also attending the next book seminar has picked all the questions that I could think of. And now I need to come up with 2 good, new questions before I go to bed, because the next seminar is tomorrow.

Discuss how some things in the book seem to have been good predictions about the future (like surveillance in the UK or a form of newspeak in Fox News) but on the other hand the book's world seems to be unlikely to even come close to becoming reality in the Western world (as opposed to, for example, Brave New World)

You'll have to come up with the questions yourself

Why won't I take the time to further enjoy a good book by thinking about it for more than 20 minutes?

They would probably make me "disappear" if i asked. :(

>> No.1336157

Okay, I'll just try and figure out those questions, but thanks for the help anyways

>> No.1336158

I'm sick of 1984. What was once a good book has been ruined by tireless references in modern media. There should be a ban on commentators using the word "Orwellian" or "Thought Police" to describe something they don't like.
