Hi Claire & Emma,
I'd love to know why you picked 1984 to read for my class. It's a great sci fi book, though very dense (and it can be slow).
How are you liking it so far?
One of the most important cultural ideas that permeates our society, now, comes from this book: the idea that "big brother" (the government) is watching you. People fear the govt being in our business and policing our thoughts....
