@jaredshiff How do the children in this book differ from those of modern society? Do they have uncommon capabilities? Thinking about it, I don't think many children in Bergen County would be able to survive when stranded on an island.

@smartinmoons Are there any more character traits within Scout that could have been the result of not growing up with a strong positive female figure? Also, is it ever made evident that due to her past of not being able to look up to a female figure, Scout struggles to find her own self worth?

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

@smartinmoons Yes, I feel like one of the main lessons in this book is to go against the status quo, even if it doesn't always work out, such as in Winston's case. This lesson could be extremely helpful to modern teenagers, such as myself, since we typically follow the crowd no matter what.

Having just completed 1984 by George Orwell, I am pleased with the ending. While Winston lost a part of himself, in Big Brother's society, this is really just a new beginning. Overall, this novel is unlike anything I've ever read and I understand its popularity. #summerapread19

@stamagny21 Are Davis' problems, other than the absence of his parents, similar to what we would hear of as teenagers in Bergen County? For example, do social media and the social pyramid in his school contribute to his anxiety and/or depression?

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

@stamagny21 Orwell definitely dove into Winston's future in the last few pages. After he is whipped into shape, or more so tortured, he is released back into Big Brother's society, awaiting his death. But, the major part of his punishment is never knowing when his execution will come.

Being halfway through Part Three of 1984, I wonder if Winston will survive this enduring trauma. All his suffering has been caused by someone once in the guise of a friend and he now barely lives. What will come of him in this broken, tortured state? #summerapread19

@cghavami21 I feel like this book is definitely not for everyone. While it is considered a dystopian novel, I wouldn't say just anyone who likes those types of books should read it. If you're a person into mysteries then I think you would enjoy this book due to its tone and complex plot.

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

@cghavami21 I think it would be interesting to know how her experiences alter her views and how she passes them on to her own children. As times change, people's opinions do as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if what she passes down to her kids is entirely different than what she received.

After completing Part Two of 1984, I am shocked at how the majority of it lulled me into a false sense of security for the characters, only for Winston and Julia to be confronted by their greatest fear in the last four pages. Will they survive the Thought Police? #summerapread19

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

Halfway through Part Two of 1984 and the plot is finally beginning to pick up. As I read, I wonder if Winston and Julia will be able to continue their secret love affair. Also, what is to come of O'Brien's message; is he in the Brotherhood or just a friendly face? #summerapread19

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

@Emma_Stankus In my eyes, 1984 is more a depiction of what life was expected to be like in the future, not so much a distinct plot. The suspense is from not knowing what may happen next. Also, clues are given to readers as to what the Party is hiding and it is pretty easy to piece together.

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

I've just completed Part One of 1984. As tensions rise with a possible spy following Winston, he is intent on uncovering the truth behind the Party's falsifications; however, danger is at every turn. #summerapread19

@thomasdewitt21 Does this book focus on specific encounters of the Navy Seals while on duty or more so on the tactics that the Navy Seals utilize to complete their missions?

[Danny DeMilia @ddemilia21]

I'm currently two chapters into 1984 by George Orwell and am beginning to understand the hype surrounding this dystopian novel. Big Brother is always watching, and it seems that Winston, the main character, has negative feelings towards this reality. #summerapread19
