George W. Bush’s Decision to Make His First Overseas Trip to Mexico

1984 by George Orwell
The Book 1984 was written by George Orwell shortly after W.W.II. I think this book really shows us what would happen if the government gets too powerful. It was written long ago and set in the future, but I feel like the message is still very relevant today. This story takes place in an imaginary country called Oceania; it is one of the three large super states in the world of 1984. Oceania is

George Bernard Shaw
George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion sends me a few messages that he was either meaning to get out to his readers, or not. After reading the play, I felt that he was trying to deliver the message that finding one’s personal identity is of utmost importance, the importance of proper phonetics in society, and in a way perhaps illustrates an insecurity that Shaw has within his own love life. Shaw delivers the message that finding

Hegel Love
Hegel's broken manuscript on Love is a great transition to one of his more popular works, The Spirit of Christianity, because he begins speculating the idea of love, and what it means to achieve that love.

Since this manuscript was probably written "a year or eighteen months before

A Book Review of George Orwell’s 1984
Living in a society with limited freedom of expression is not, in any case, enjoyable. A Totalitarian society is a good example of such a society, because although it provides control for the people, it can deny them a great deal of freedom to express themselves. The fictional society in George Orwell’s 1984 also stands as a metaphor for a Totalitarian society. Communication, personal beliefs, and individual loyalty to the government are all controlled
