Warnings that the author is trying to get across

In the 1984 the author tried to get a warning across about how powerful a government could be. I thought the author did a very good job in doing that. The government is very powerful in 1984 and basically controls all of the peoples lives. The author gives a good warning about what the future might be like and its a scary thing to think about. Another warning that the author gets across is doublethink, if the government could use doublethink on people is would be very bad. All the people would like the government even if they did something horrible. Doublethink is very powerful and the author gets a good warning across about doublethink.

When the author wrote the book was trying to get a warning across about what the world may be coming to. He wanted people to notice how good the world is now and how bad it could be if people let it get out of hand. When the book was writing he people must have been surprised of how bad the world could be. George Orwell must have gotten a good warning across because the world didn't turn out horrible.

  1. Garrett: You say Orwell must have warned us effectively, but let me ask you this - is our world heading this way still? What do we have to do to watch out for such things so they don't happen?
