"People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word."
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 1
Welcome to George Orwell's 1984, one of his most famous and enduring pieces of work. Translated into over 60 languages and even a feature film, 1984 is seen as a very iconic novel. The repercussions of this novel are still being felt today; political and social paranoia created by the "Big Brother" factor can't help but impede on our daily thoughts. However, is it truly a Classic novel? In this blog I will be exploring and analysing this seemingly timeless novel, as well as posting my opinion on whether or not I agree with giving it the status as a "Classic Novel" or not.

A good start, although quite brief. Perhaps explain specifically how you will be analysing the novel.
