The Bad Old Days in Oceania
by Merch
For my summer reading, I read 1984 because I was interested in history before I was born. I am really glad I was born after all that shit happened because it was really fucked up. The book is about Oceania, which is what one of the other continents was called when there was only three continents; America, Oceania and Eurasia (which gets fucked up maybe but could be a lie.) Later, they would split up and become London and some other shit. In this book, there is only one language. This is weird for me because there are like ten languages now in the world.
Winston is the main character and he totally gets laid in this book. I wish there were some pictures because Julia, his piece, sounds hot. There are a bunch of bad guys that have a stick up their ass and I don't know what his big brother's problem is. Like brothers should look out for one another but this guy threatens to put a cage of rats on his head! That shit is crazy...maybe I will try that on Elijah sometime, my sister said there are lots of rats in NY and maybe I could get some.
There was like this part that was another book inside the book and I don't like reading two books at once because I get confused. So I skipped that part. Also I would like to say that I found some very interesting parallels between this book and the Russian Revolution and Communist Russia in general. That may sound stupid, but it's what I fucking think! So stick that in your "memory hole" (a device used to incinerate...which means burn...the truth in the book!!!). Sorry, sometimes when I feel strongly about something I get defensive. I would have edited this part out but I believe that work should be presented as written for authenticity...which means real.
Also I don't get that guy Syme...how do you say his name? Is it Sim? Sime? Symee? It could be fucking anything! Also, cigarettes do not lead to victory and therefore they should not be called Victory Cigarettes. Victory Gin, I can play that.
In conclusion, I did not like the world in 1984 because they did not have a lot of words and the dictionary was very short. If this book were the way it is today, then my favorite book would almost not exist. Fuck newspeak. MERCH!
