1. Would you read another novel by this author? Why? Why not?
a. Yes, George Orwell has impressed me thoroughly. Through both the complexity of his writing and his use of vocabulary, I felt a wide range of emotion including sadness, anger, surprise, happiness, curiosity, and fear. Orwell has proved to be a proficient user of the English language, as well as a creative visionary with a depth to his writing. It appears as though his novel 1984 is non-linear entirely. Although it has a general plot, given the characters names and possibly a brief description; one could pick the novel up at any point and capture its meaning. The clarity of his objective in writing as well as his upfront attitude about delicate subjects is precisely the style of …show more content…
If Orwell’s use of language and writing style in any way resemble that which is used in his novel 1984 in other literary works, I would be thrilled to read them. There is no error or suggestion in his writing progression, the plot takes twists and turns; touches countless themes yet hardly explores them enough to bore an audience. He grants explanation for concepts within a novel in such a vague way; one can escape a page without a clear idea about anything they had just read. This may sound like an issue in writers craft given your objective is to generate understanding for the concepts you develop; instead Orwell decides to leave it to his readers to explain things for themselves. He provides fleeting guides for explaining such ideas however will use dialogue and internal struggle to provoke and tease the reader with the truth however never providing it and in fact openly denying such an object. In most scenarios, an author will begin stories with a promise and fulfil some part of it later on in the novel. Orwell takes this structure and warps it so that the promise is so great and vast one cannot help but read further, as the novel continues, this promise develops and evolves so that it is irresistible and the truth is sought after above all, unfortunately it is …show more content…
This novel is easily one of the most impressive pieces of literature I’ve ever read. It explored themes I had never bothered about, subjects of writing I thought so irrelevant in my life that at first they seemed mundane. As the novel progresses however, these mundane concepts mutate and become miniscule pieces of understanding in a massive puzzle that is 1984. This book is so well executed and beyond replication in the way that it provokes emotion and sympathy from the audience for its characters. The novel does not adhere to any (ironically) orthodox conventions and instead tosses the balance of power within the story back and forth, convincing the audience to second guess themselves endlessly and attempt to understand or predict the outcome of significant plot points before changing everything and frustrating a reader to no end. Although the novel may be confusing due to its complexity and deep explanation of itself at times, there is a subtle underlying truth that exists no matter how Orwell contorts the plot. The truth is that nothing is true. There is no definitive answer to what exists within the novel’s assumed reality and what is later revealed to be a falsification just like perceptions of concrete concepts such as the ‘past’. As a reader you are unable to harden an opinion until you have revised the novel several times; but once you have developed and self-consciously proved the theory, it is almost bullet proof due to the vastness of explanation within the
