1984
#20
RE: 1984
I read it along with a few other American classics for English class in school. We had to pair it up with Brave New World because their stories are polar opposites. 1984 is a government that over controls everything while Brave New World's government does not give a fuck lol. We ended up saying that we need government to keep from being Brave New World but we can't let it overrun us like in 1984. I loved both books very much.

Also side note I LOVE that Marilyn Manson quotes 1984!

"And I'm a black rainbow
and I'm an ape of god
I got a face that's made for doing violence upon
I'm a teen distortion
survived abortion
a rebel from the waist down "

~Disposable Teens

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
