I think you are all doing a great job responding to the ideas of socialism vs capitalism, but many of you still seem a bit confused about the relationship to the plot and characters of the book. Orwell (Blair) was obviously fearful of what he was seeing happening in Russia–a country that was promoting itself as communist. He felt Russia’s enactment of communism was horribly distorted from the socialist ideals that he himself held so strongly. So, to help you get an even clearer view, I’d like you to do the following as your last post requirement:
This question requires a little research on your part. Find three facts about one of the above topics
1. Post your three facts
2. You may not post a fact someone else has already posted
3. Respond to at least one fact posted by another and explain how that fact ties into the novel
