1984 Orwell Essay Questions

Free Abstract:

... Orwell portrayed the follies of communism in Animal House and yet the perceived peril of communism tilted his view of the world, as it might look 35 years in the future. In this article, I will show how logical and obvious were Orwell’s conclusions and how 35 years would seem to be such a long time when less than 35 years had seen two World Wars, the Great Depression, the rise and fall of Hitler’s Germany and imperial Japan, and the rise of world wide communism.
