not very political.

Winston is a low-ranked worker in the future of 1984. He works for the Ministry of Truth, altering records so they are always in agreement with the Party. Winston does not like how easily the Party can control the past. For example, the Party claims that Oceania has been at war with Eurasia ever since the revolution. But Winston knows, and can remember, a time when they were allied with Eurasia, and at war with Eastasia. Winston is also opposed to the lack of privacy, as he is constantly watched every where he goes by the telescreens. In 1984 Winston has a love affair and engages in many other acts of rebellion against the Party and Big Brother. 

Lesbihonest, I'm not that political. I have to have Becky explain the parties to me pretty often. And this book, is a really political book. But I still enjoyed it. There was one part that I liked in particular. Winston was talking to Syme, a Newspeak (the official language of Oceania) expert working on the 11th edition of the Newspeak dictionary. Syme explains how they are shortening the language to nearly nothing, by getting rid of unnecessary words like extraordinary, wonderful, and magnificent, when plusgood will work just as well.. And it was so sad! That's what is beautiful about our language is the abundance of differing words. And it was sad to think about a world without words that describe and create, while words like plusgood are very vague.
