For our first literary analysis, I chose a classic: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. I chose this book because I've been meaning to read it for the LONGEST time and finally got around to it. I chose it for a couple reasons; I enjoyed Orwell's previous novel Animal Farm, I've always liked dystopian novels, such as Huxley's Brave New World, and Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. I also chose Nineteen Eighty-Four because of its relevance to today's society, with Chelsea (née Bradley) Manning's and Edward Snowden's monumental discoveries that the government has been spying on you. This, of course, should not be news to anyone.
So far, the book is really good and I would highly recommend it.
