My take on Section 1 of 1984

George Orwell's, 1984, is a fantastic novel.  What I liked about 1984 was its correlation to actual historical events.  I think it's simultaneously very funny and amazing that Orwell predicted so many aspects of a society that actually came into existence.  Though I've read this book before, I picked up on many minor details I could never have been aware of before taking an AP European History class and an AP English class this past year.  I picked up on so many of Orwell's references that I might not have noticed when I read it years ago.  Thus, it was a more enjoyable read.
