George Orwell’s 1984
COMING TUESDAY, JANUARY 27
📕 1984📕 by George Orwell is a powerful and famous novel about life in a world where the government controls everything. People are always watched, their words are limited, and even their thoughts are not free. The story follows Winston Smith, a man who begins to question the rules and the lies of the state.
The book is still very important today. It reminds us how dangerous authoritarian power can be when people lose their rights, privacy, and freedom of speech. 1984 helps us understand why we must stay alert, ask questions, and protect democracy and human freedom around the world.
