What is 1984 about?

[ilikesound93]

People tell me it's good

[S9Dallasoz]

[Jake Denning]

"Big Brother", Boning the same chick over and over, and "double-speak"

there you go.

[WakingTheMisery]

Just read it.

[KelleeJo]

1984 is amazing. Getting someone to tell you what it's about takes so much from the book. Read it. Prepare to be confused, sad, and insanely angry. But you definitely won't regret reading it.

pretty much covers it haha. the end is kinda depressing.

[Bob Payne]

there's this kid that works as a janitor at MIT, and he can solve complex math problems

Hahahaha I've only read half the book, but that was an awesome description.

The telescreen?

[SmokieB.High]

Great book... if your lazy watch the movie

[TheHoldSteady]

there's this kid that works as a janitor at MIT, and he can solve complex math problems
Sounds like it would make a good movie?

[Jake Denning]

Hahahaha I've only read half the book, but that was an awesome description.

Why thank you.

It means more coming from a cute girl.

Plus, you remind me of P.O.D.'s Charger Anthem

[TotalCollapse]

It was one of the better books that I've had to read for school. It's essentially about the dangers of a totalitarian government.

[hailthewarrior]

Read. And. Find. Out.

[smogs]

Why thank you.

It means more coming from a cute girl.

Plus, you remind me of P.O.D.'s Charger Anthem

Awwww why thanks.

San Diego Super Chargers song > P.O.D.'s Charger Anthem, but the latter is still awesome. It makes me happy that you know the Charger Anthem!

[Manicapathy]

It's about some kid who is the leader of a gang, and they all wear bowler derby hats and cod pieces and beat the shit out of old people. Then his "droogies" turn on him, and he gets arrested and experimented upon by the government. Later......wait....wrong book, never mind.

"Big Brother", Boning the same chick over and over, and "double-speak"

there you go.
The dumbest fucking synopsis of this book ever, congratulations on being a fucking putz.

The end isn't depressing so much as it is frightening.
It was one of the better books that I've had to read for school. It's essentially about the dangers of a totalitarian government.
Thank you for being intelligent.

[Until The Bombs]

It's about a really shitty year. And then I was born.

[TeamAllison]

1984 is all about Erasure and The Outsiders.

People who tell you it was a good year are full of lies.

[TotalCollapse]

The dumbest fucking synopsis of this book ever, congratulations on being a fucking putz.

The end isn't depressing so much as it is frightening.

Thank you for being intelligent.
Haha thanks.

And I agree with it being more frightening than depressing.

Brave New World > 1984

Read that instead.

[saysmydoctor]

Brave New World > 1984

Read that instead.
We > both

[Jake Denning]

Awwww why thanks.

San Diego Super Chargers song > P.O.D.'s Charger Anthem, but the latter is still awesome. It makes me happy that you know the Charger Anthem!

Should I waste my time coming down to a Whale's Vagina sometime? I mean, Fight Fair thinks so, but give me reasons.

[shes.a.ghost]

It's the prequel to Drop Dead Fred.

[Smash Adams]

It was about 365 days long, because it was a leap year it was a bit different longer than most

I'm way late on reading this book, having just read it a couple weeks ago. But, it's definitely an interesting read. I highly recommend it.

Movie Trailer Narrator: "It's 1984. Winston Smith... lives within a totalitarian system. Winston Smith... has questions, and, he needs answers. Watch Winston Smith get in all sorts of antics with... The Party! And, follow him when he finds, for the first time in his life, true love! George Orwell's 1984 is a non-stop thrill-ride. Complete government control, cheap-ass rationed foodstuffs, alcohol, and tobacco, sex, interrogations accompanied by torture, betrayal, and, last but not least, telescreens! Rob Schneider stars as Winston Smith, in George Orwell's... 1984. Going straight-to-video and being distributed nationwide at every bankrupt Moviestop store. Rated R."

Sorry! I was bored.

[smogs]

Should I waste my time coming down to a Whale's Vagina sometime? I mean, Fight Fair thinks so, but give me reasons.

Haha, first of all, I love the Fight Fair reference. My brother is friends with them (he went to college with them) so I always forget that they're a real band. "Brain Freeze" highlights many of the great things to do in SD, but...

YES. COME. Your time will not be wasted. There's so much to do. You have countless beaches that are all great for their own things (relaxing, playing volleyball, jumping off cliffs, surfing, hiking, camping, kayaking, snorkeling etc), you have amazing food (real mexican food and in'n'out, enough said), you have so many attractions (the zoo, animal park, seaworld, aquariums, legoland even), there are great concert venues down here, lots and lots and lots of college kids, lots of really sweet museums, you can go to a Padres game for like, $12 (they'll lose, but it's a blast), and so many places to wander around and explore (downtown San Diego, Pacific Beach, La Jolla [where I'm at!]) even if you're not 21. Right now we have the Del Mar Horse Races going on, that also have great concerts for only $10. And San Diego on Charger Sunday is a beautiful thing. There's so much to do, so much to see. The weather is awesome for about 8-10 months of the year, and you can actually go into the water during summer months and not freeze to death. Plus, watching Anchorman in San Diego makes it that much better. You can even go explore Balboa Park and Coronado Island, where they did a bunch of filming.

How's that for reasons? (In addition to just all around loving San Diego, I'm a tour guide at my school so I talk about all the great things to do here a lot. :])

[quitmyscene]

Brave New World > 1984

Read that instead.

Lies. Both good, but I love 1984 so much more. Read both.

[deFobbed14yrs]

there's a thread in the education forum

hahaha, hey you're the one who asked! buuuut I do tend to ramble so my bad.

Hookup thread!? Tsk tsk tsk, here I was thinking I was making a new friend. :-) But if you wanna continue talking and let this thread get back to 1984, feel free to PM me.

[un.Starálfur]

and then these Aliens come down to earth and mutate into these flesh eating zombies....










Opps...wrong story!

[optimusrob]

there's this kid that works as a janitor at MIT, and he can solve complex math problems

yeah anyways my best friend is Ben Affleck

[handlikesecret]

it's about the year 1984.

We > both
this. this. this. this. both are amazing though.

and while you're at it, read A Clockwork Orange. you'll be getting the best that the dystopian genre has to offer if you read all three.

[saysmydoctor]

To say that BNW is better than We, when Huxley basically just swaggerjacked Zamyatin, what an insult. Not that Orwell didn't either, but his was simply better.

[Tristan Needler]

I just read it recently for the first time. It was a great book, however there were some things about the very end that irked me. It just felt a little inconsistent.

[timb89]

Sounds like it would make a good movie?

as long as matt damons not in it

[Machu505]

I think it's one of the easiest novels to read. The way it's written is very clear and to the point, in perfect Orwell fashion of course. But as to what it's about, just imagine a boot stamping on a human face.

Forever.

[Qadriyyah]

Amazing book that you should def read

[John is a cult]

i have the answer to your question:
What Is 1984 About? (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+1984+about%3F)

[TheHoldSteady]

True.
No Ben Affleck either.
