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.

Description

She had a hunched back and was leaning forward. Her face was wrinkled of age and in her eyes were sadness. If anyone cared to take a glimpse into her eyes, he/she will end up will water in his eyes. The lady seemed to have lost her point of direction, wandering from left to right in haste; the lady seemed to be anxious about something.

Sophie's World

I was able to take time in reading this novel because I have been reading this novel for almost over a month. This book took a long time to read because it was hard to comprehend. Like post philosophical books, this book would have been broing if this book was not placed on the form of a story. Nonetheless, the author wrote this book so that it would be interesting and intriguing even to teenagers.

The story starts off in Sophie's house. Before, she never thought of who she was or where she came from. However, one day a letter comes to her. And in it are four words "Do you know yourself?" From that point and on, Sophie starts to wonder about where she came from and who she really is. Soon after, she receives another letter, which developes further on into the world of philosophy. And Sophie finds herself totally intrigued by this philosophy.

Later, she finds out that a professor is sending her these sophisticated letter, and she sets out to finding who he really is. And as she continues on with her journey, mystery after mystery follows. And the story becomes even more interesting.

The teachings that the professor gave away to Sophie took on a Non-Christian view. As a Christian, it was interesting to see how the other people saw Christianity. To them Christianity was not a religion but only another form of philosophy.

I highly recommend this book becuase although the story sometimes loses its attractiveness at times, is highly interesting and informational.

I read this novel in haste becasue the due date for this project was stomping into my sight. Nonetheless, the haste wasn't enough to degrade the meaning hidden within this novel.

Naturally a curious person, the main character soon sets off with his 'lover' to the place where it has been discovered. However, before they go, they gain significant informations about this skin. They find out that this skin was that of a dinosaur.
And when they arrive at the park, they find magnificent and humungous park. It first seems to be in perfect control. Nonetheless, the park goes out of control and dinosaurs rage out of their cage.
This phenomena that happens in this book brought many different thoughts into my mind. Humans tried to conquer nature to reviving its history, nonetheless, nature in other words God did not allow that to happen. Men's attempt only brought back to them despair
