  • 1984

    1984
    I read 1984 as a senior in high school. This book gave me a good idea of why I believe the things I belive politically. I am a very politically minded person so this book was very interesting for me. It gave me an idea of what things could be like if capitalism didn't exist. This book sums up a lot of my political views and made me even more of a conservative.
