1984 opens our eyes to a world of chaos and turmoil that many people don’t seem to realize relates to our present life. Granted, our current situation may not be as drastic as that of
1984 but many things in 2015 can relate to the events of 1984. Sadly, if we continue on this road, we could possibly end up living in a real world 1984 or even worse than that.
