In Winston's situation, even the thoughts are monitored by the government.

Winston returns to his house and commits another thought crime and goes to sleep. Waking up the next day, Winston is soaked with nostalgia, thinking of his days with his mother.

Imagine a world where nobody can be trusted. Even your neighbors who you are helping are accusing you of crimes and even the single wrong movement is called out by the system. This will torment the people enough, leading to suicide.

Jane Eyre

At first, I really did not want to read this book. Yet, my mom was keep on persuading me to read it saying that she had read a korean version of this book and that it is so fascinating and fun!. I always thought of Jane Eyre as the type of books in which only involved love story and no suspense or action. In other words, I saw this book as a girly story. Yet, I was wrong, as I was reading through this book. I realized how much fun this book contained. It in fact had suspense and a love story.

Jane Eyre is an orphan. After being transferred to an orphanage, she studied hard in the school that was run by the orphanage and eventually became a teacher there. Nonetheless, she suddenly had a feeling taht she needed some changes in her life. So she quit the job and went on looking for a job. WHile looking for a job, she finds that mr. Rochester needs a maid. So she goes and becomes a maid. And she eventually falls in love with him and gets married with him.

ALthough I didn't mention the suspense involved in this novle in my summary. THere is, in fact, a lot of suspense in this book. And I would highly recommend this book

Dracula

I came in contact with this book through a recommendation of SAT books that I would have to read in order to score good on the SATs. Yet, this book wasn't one of those SAT books which were extreemely boring and tedious. This book actually contained action and suspense that were even comparable to modern fantasy books.
The story starts with a man going to Castle Dracula on a caravan. The author, Stroker, describes this scene so carefully that I almost lost interest as I was reading through 40-50 pages of flowery and descriptive words. Hoewever, real fun starts as the man approaches the castle. The castle is dark, and rainy clouds cover the castle while the other parts of the village does not even have a slight evidence of a cloud. He was a messanger,in fact, however he later finds out in the castle that the count who was living their was a vampire who fed on fresh blood. Terrified to recognize such a horryfying fact, he wishes to quickly return to his homeland. However, on his way back, he brings the count with him to his hometown. And trouble begins. Later, he and his friedns find ways to repel this monster. And kills the count soon after.

This book is the original version of a human vampire. And it is the first book that this type of idea was actually suggested. I have heard of these vampires many times, but I have never encountered the origins of these many tales. But when I read this book. I was able to gain knowledge on the origins of the tales I have heard for a long time.

1984 Chapter 1

On a cold winter day, Winston Smith walks slowly along the streets, into his house. As he is going up the stair ways of his house he sees the sign BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU. He is a member of the party that is currently governing the world. Winston works in the ministry of truth and after seeing the evil doings of the government, commits some thought crime.

This particular chapter was interesting to me because it told of the misery any situations can bring if he/she was involved in a totalitarain government. When I think of that situation, I don't think I can survive through that hardship.

This actually relates to me a bit because I live in a dormitory system where everybody is watched through the cameras everywhere. I feel like the cameras are symbolizing the sign BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU every time.
