1984 Edit Meaning

1.

A book written by George Orwell in 1948, the title is simply derived from flipping the last 2 digits of the year it was written (1948/1984) and has nothing to do with when it is all supposed to take place. The book is mostly used to show the governments ability to control what you think simply by simplifying language. For example instead of bad there is only ungood. This stops society from thinking and only obeys what the government wants it to. And if you pay attention to the evening news you may notice this slowly happening when they talk about things and you have no idea what they mean.

1984 is a masterpiece in literature and also is considered a great warning to all societys if you believe everything you see on tv or hear on the radio.

2.

A good book written by George Orwell in 1948. It is about someone who tries to rebel against an extremely fascist government, and is captured, tortured, and brainwashed until he himself becomes a follower of the government. It shows what the people of 1948 thought the future might be like if the Axis powers had defeated the Allies in World War 2.

By the way, it actually does take place in 1984, and it says that quite a few times in the book. It's not just because it's the last two digits of 1948 backwards, although that might have been why he chose that year.

In the year 1984 we will all be shouting "All hail Big Brother!!!"

5.

1. a classic science fictionnovel written by British writer George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) that was written as a warning of how governments can manipulate every aspect of citizens' lives (including the media) to brainwash them into becoming loyal complacent citizens (sheep) and use created situations as an excuse to deprive the populace of their freedoms and civil liberties and human rights. It was written in 1948, so Orwell was using the recent war and the totalitarianfascist and communist regimes that were defeated, as well as said type regimes that would soon be established.
