1984

When George Orwell was writing 1984 World War 2 was going on. We learned in class that the World Wars were devastating to people, they truly thought this was going to be how the world would end. I don't know how the second World War couldn't have been an influence on George Orwell. This book is talks about how the future will be a place where there is basically no freedom. A place where every move you make you are watched. I think that this book could be how George Orwell thought the war was going to affect the world. During WW2 there were some major leaders, for example Hitler. George Orwell could have taken a leader like Hitler as inspiration for the character Big Brother. Maybe he thought Hitler would win the war and this is how the world would be from it.
