@@davidb2024_ aw thank you! You are already supporting and helping 😊 I am thinking of opening a patreon in the future if enough people want to see more content from me
@@davidb2024_ haha well thanks very much! I didn't want to do it too soon before I had a decent amount of subscribers because I don't want to seem like I was taking the p!ss, ya know? Haha. I was thinking at around 1000 subs or something
this brings me back to high school and having to compare and contrast Brave New World and 1984 in a 7 page paper lol - we had to argue which book our society is more like which is actually harder to decide than you'd think: we definitely have assets of both books in our society. In general, I liked 1984 more, Brave New World was harder to get through for me (I was also 16 or 17 when I read them both tho to be fair) but the ending of 1984 crushed me, I was so devastated and it left me feeling so hopeless.
That actually sounds like a school project I would've liked! We never read these books in my school. To be fair I did actually really enjoy 1984, it was just the ending that made me feel a bit deflated about the whole thing, because, as you say, it's devastating!
@@simplysereneasmr it was a very unique project for sure! We were forced to think very critically about what is going on in the world today and how that’s mirrored in either book, and there are no wrong answers either honestly, just how you argue it. We also read Fahrenheit 451 which I honestly didn’t really like that much, it wasn’t as impactful to me as Brave New World and 1984, but if you like dystopian novels you’d probably enjoy it!
Loved 1984. We read it at school of what is probably equivalent to 6th grade (called standard 4 in Namibia/South Africa back in the day). I wasn't that good at English class, but I recall having to write two essays on War is Peace and Ignorance is Strength; I remember getting 100% for both. Even at that age, I wrote it from a psy-ops point of view. I still have those essay I am sure. Will defs read Brave New World, never heard of it.
