** spoiler alert ** 
 I loved this book because it not only introduced me to ideas that I had never even heard of, but it also put me in the loop of what all the older kids meant when they were talking about Big Brother. This was a life changing book because it was so real and yet so hard to imagine. I was really disappointed at the end of the novel because I thought for sure that Winston would get away from the life of Big Brother and when the narrator says, "He loved Big Brother," I was crushed. But, that's the whole message that Orwell was conveying. No matter how hard you try, you cannot escape from the power of the government.
