Its hard to believe that books written in the mid-40s actually described our government of today......right down to the telescreen.
My spouse was stupefied to read these books a short while ago and instantly had her eyes opened as to what is happening today.
The books should be mandatory reading in all schools...but dream on."
I am currently teaching my summer school students 1984. I am one of the few teachers who exposes the students to the similarities between Winston's living in Oceania to our living in the current U.S. I also have them compare and contrast Oceania to Nazi Germany during, and prior to, WWII. None of the other teachers seem capable of making the correlation to do so.
I am trying to do my small part...
I “tip my hat” to you. You are providing a great service in a sea of American hating teachers.
