I had 2 weeks to read this for school and right now is the last day and I haven't started. Thanks for this because I really can't concentrate to read on my own
All these who's here just for school comments..... just remember, George Orwell was the master, and revolutionary writer. Kids, if you havent read 1984. Read it. Right now. Not for school. For your own benefit.
@@nickevans2752 lol fair enough, mid twenties. I just remember how being in high school being forced to read a book almost devalued the book to me. Im glad I found Orwell on my own accord.
This book was amazing. The entire last chapter had me in awe. The last sentence was probably the best possible way to end the book. One of my favorite books of all time.
@@glennrobinson2014 His voice was appreciated by most, if not, all the viewers. Mocking a hardworking person that spent hours working on that project is very immature and inconsiderate. My first language is not English and i understood every single word the narrator has pronounced. Shame on you, Glenn, for trying to sound smart when nobody asked your opinion in the first place.
Trump is doing this to the elderly people he is letting die because of CORONAVIRUS. Worse they support him just like Boxer . They don't realize he is a liar until they are on their way to the Glue factory & Death just like Boxer.
This book was so brilliantly written with important lessons to take away. 1. Absolute power corrupts. 2. Seek transparency in everything and always, always question. Be a critical thinker. 3. Don't trust blindly and always be critical of those who ask/demand that you trust them blindly. 4. Never get so busy with life that you stop learning. 5. Rich or poor you matter and you bring value into this world. Everyone deserves freedom and equality. These are just some of the things I took away from the story. I'm also happy to see from the comments that this is required reading in some schools. Bravo to those teachers!
Good insights. We read this book at school in 1990 when we were 13 or 14 years old. I remember my mother being disappointed with me for bringing home a nursery tale to read...
@@anglerust litterly just talked about questioning the man and you imedeitly just fucking go along with there shit the apollo, missions were litterly run by the govenment, they say that we cant venture back out to the moon because the technology was lost, and they dont know how to properly make a radiation shield that they made 40 years ago, so you tell me ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4O5dPsu66Kw.html last time i checked the moon is passed the van allen belts! hmm weird, 3:41 "we must solve these chalenges before going to space" pretty sure we "already did" only 40 YEARS AGO learn to question before dismissing. could be all could be fake, but maybe they just wanted a edge on russia through any means nessasary,
@@anglerust he just said scary to think how history has been altered, if you want the wool to be pulled over your eyes and not acknowledge that the government will do fucked up shit like mkultra, mass induced hypnosis through means of drug induced mind control, by force feeding patients LSD from 1953 to 1973, which is in direct violation of the Nuremburg code that was made during world war two to stop all of the fucked up science Nazis would do, OPERATION PAPERCLIP WHERE NASA LITTERLY FUCKING TOOK NATZI SCHIENTESTS TO HELP BUILD FUCKING ROCKETS so you tell me , and I'm sure your familiar with the Russian sleep experiment conducted by the Russian government where they took prisoners and subjected them to extreme sleep deprivation, also in direct violation of the Nuremberg code. and ooohh maybe when they hid the fact that aliens were real and just last year released declassified documents about aliens after getting us acclimated to the fact that there could be something out there by pumping through media, for years, we live in a world of communism masked by fake rigged elections, so you tell me if they give two shits, "based" shut tf up and educate yourself before running your fat mouth
Bruh I'm 13 and am doing this on my own time. I heard this was Roger Waters inspiration for the Pink Floyd album animals which got me interested I love stories and making music and art so yeah I'm enjoying this story alot
I’m a 17 yro senior in high school who has never had the pleasure of reading this fantastic piece of literature. For three years now I’ve looked for a paper copy of this book and I luckily found this and have listened to it constantly. Wonderful work by a very brilliant man. I will be checking out his other works soon!
I originally found this book in school but came to find I absolutely love this book! I read it so many times and was ecstatic to find it here as an audio book to listen to while I work on projects. I like the complexity of the book and how its paced. It's a work of genius in my opinion!
This is a great help to understand the book more. Don't listen to people's picky comments he says a couple words wrong but this is HELPFUL, it's Better than reading it inside your own head especially if you have to get it done fast
true story, my english teacher was a drunk who didn't show up to work and my class was her first class...it took the school awhile to catch on that she wasn't showing up. Needless to say, I didn't read this in high school but I regret not getting that lesson...i skimmed the book on my own but as someone who studied history, sociology and Marx, I see how important this book is now. Glad to listen to it without a test but to just come up to my own conclusions on this metaphorical satire. it's never too late to learn for personal enrichment.
Not sure if its still the case, but I recall sub HD video having lower quality audio sampling as well. That way both video and audio require less bandwidth.
I had this book on my mind for a while and I told my teacher I was 'reading' it and thank you I needed a book for a challenge that was forced upon us but not other classes, so bless you and good night
Thank you for this. What a great book and what a great leader. I listened to this for all my work drives and got through it. It seems that everyone here is listening to this only for school, but I was here for my enjoyment Again thank you
You saved me dawg 💀 I never listened to audio books in my life, I think of it as cheating. Still do, but this was so necessary 😭 I had to be at chapter 7 today and I haven’t started. Listened to the whole thing this morning
I think audiobooks are amazingly helpful for people with shorter atention spans or with visual disabilities, if anything they are opening oportunities to readers all over the world c:
@Legionnaire iama be honest most of us r just here for school..personally i hate reading due to lack of patience and focus plus it just bores me 😐 u say would change that but i do understand where ur coming from but cmon let’s be honest not everyone will like reading
Sad thing is that 99% of the population just don't get it. The Politicians, the elites of this world are the pigs and the rest of us are the farm yard animals. The 'rules' on the barn wall are altered and manipulated (as they see fit) to push their elitist agendas.
Characters: Boxer - Hard worker, Does almost all the work Molly - Complains The Cat - Avoids worker, Appears after work for food, Makes excuses, Old Benjamin - Slow. does the bare minimum Snow Ball-Active in debates, Napoleon - Boar - Muriel the Goat - Clover- Jesse and Bluebell - Dogs - Squealer - Pig - Mr Jones - Human - 43:56
Melissa Montiel The reality is Napoleon and his dogs were far scarier than Jones to have a second rebellion. Snowball got hunted down and assassinated in Mexico. And sadly no matter how big your chest is you would have added no more chapters of events, you most likely would be in the gulag, having a 1984 moment, realizing you forgot how much you loved comrade Napoleon. Even by napoleons death, where his own dogs were to scared of him to check on him while he was having a cerebral hemorrhage, animals were manipulated and loved him. You missed the point of the book if that’s what you were expecting
I remember reading this book back in junior high. Back then I didn't fully understand it, and it was quite some time ago. I finished this book in 1 sitting, and hearing now, much MUCH more mature than I was. It kinda scares me seeing the similarities between this book, and how this country is being pushed. We're getting there. 1 town, 1 city, 1 county, 1 state at a time.
@@sandy_clay_loam How did he miss the whole point? He got the exact point, even the point that exist if you read between the lines. The whole point of "trust the science" was never actually said because science was correct. We now know they lied the whole time. The pokes were never even designed to work the way people said they will work. The "trust the science" was just an appeal to authority fallacy, that you should not question your "betters" and question their judgment. It was only a way for politicans to get their will put into action without the people talking back at them. A authoritarian move. I also want to point out a few things here. Studies from the UK and Pfizer has now presented data on how many people needs to be poked in order to prevent hospitalizations. In the age group of 50-60 you need to poke around 40.000 people or so to prevent 1, ONE, hospitalization. In the same age group you need to poke around 150.000 to 250.000 people to prevent 1, ONE, serious hospitalization. The poke itself has a risk of a serious complication of 1 in every 800 people who is poked with it. This is such a high risk that previous pokes has been recalled for far FAR less risks. Like with the swine flu poke. With these numbers. Should you really "trust the science" when they have not preseted any real data on its safety, what is is made out of, how it is designed to work or even a risk benefit analysis on who you are supposed to poke? It is a long standard practice in medicine that treatments should be individualized as people have different circumstances. So should we ignore this well proven and long standing practice because "the science" wants to throw a new and experimental poke idea and use it as a coverall panacea? No. He understood the point. The point is that the pigs lied about how they need the food more to get their way. Just like "the science", which is just another word for the political will of a politicla group, wanted to get their way.
You only don’t like it because they are making you read it. When someone tells you to do something, you don’t WANNA! When I was in school I just straight up didn’t read it. I was like nah I’m gunna enjoy my summer thanks. Just recently however as an adult I read this book and then immediately read 1984 which i now consider one of my favorite books ever. I felt like an idiot because I should have just read them in school.
All you here for school are lucky. Back in my day (wow now I feel old) we used our dial up to search the web for cliff notes. Now as an adult I just want to listen to the boom while driving to the office.
This was read to me as a young child. But after listening to this as an adult well aware of current politics.... it makes me sick and sad, easily compared to our modern day society in the west.
Audiobooks narration is an art. After listening to the audiobook narrations of Stephen King works it is hard to listen to other people. George Widel, Frank Muller, several others, the man who narrated the Stand.
My Teacher: "This isn't a huge test, this is a check test. Did you read it? That's all we want to know." Me, who found this within six minutes of the test and plans on skipping between chapters respectively throughout the hour I have to finish the test after three weeks of procrastination: *chuckles nervously*
Thanks for this!!! Although the book seems interesting I always struggle when starting a book and having someone to read it to me while I read along helps so much. I have a book report due in like 5 days so yeah.
Vannah Rose I was that kid. I never ready this and took my bad grade. Now at 30 I’ve read it and 1984 is one of my favorite books. Past me deprived me of my favorite book. What an ass.
@@MahoneyBadger .... Do you realize when George Orwell wrote the book..1984 . . . no one had TVs....( 1948 ?) There was maybe one in the window down at the General store where everyone would gather in the cold to watch the President thru the window do an address to the nation. There was only ONE station. and at least half the time there was nothing on but an Indian Icon telling you the station will be back on tomorrow. But the strangest thing was George Orwell talked about COMPUTERS ! Humans had not even made the old Texas Instrument yet... The calculator. And there were Tvs on every pole outside.... and loudspeakers constantly blaring about how our War was going on the other side of the planet. And camera's in your houses that could watch you in ANY room in your house at anytime! ( Yes, even the bathroom.) And it could talk Directly to YOU! How is that even possible that Orwell even knew about these things? .... "1984 " is where the term "BIG BROTHER " was coined from. There was two classes of people... the lower class... the *Proles * (I think... its been a while ) and then there was the upper class. THEM ! The * SERFS " A NEW WORLD ORDER ! ( dont quote me on that.) We are living now in the future. When I read Orwell's 1984... back in the day .... 1970? . . it was Science Fiction book . Not anymore. Ya know... the " Powers That Be " have a symbiotic connection with Hollywood. I do believe they tease us with movies and the like , feeding us bits of reality with each one. I have started to analyze certain movies lately and have come to the realization that they do this " Future-Gaze" as I call it, on purpose. I dont know if its just entertainment for them to watch some of us us twist and turn trying to figure things out... as we are more and more thought of as "Nutjobs" because of our input on this to the population. Well we have come to a turning point.... where Conspiracy Theory's have now become Conspiracy FACTS ! . . . . . wont be long now.... and THEY KNOW IT! Stay alert..... You are a breath of fresh air to someone like me. Inspire the rest. Have a Happy .... Later Danny. ... ROBIN ina HOOD ....
mels sweethearts you have a good mom. If we aren’t aware of the mistakes of our past and the potential tyranny of our future we might not even get one. So what’s a few weeks of summer compared to a blind society falling victim to tyrannical government? What I mean is it’s a really fucking good book.
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it." - George Orwell, Why I Write (1946)
I read this book when I was nine. We were in a waldenbooks and i liked the cover and asked if I could have it and my dad said yeah and bought it for me. I think he was pleased about it. I loved it. I can't remember that far back though! What does a nine year old think about this book? Only thing I remember is being creeped out by the drunk pigs wearing hats
I've always loved this book, and it's easily in my top 5 favorites. Since my first time reading it in Highschool, i must've read the book about 5 times and just now found this audio. Massive respect and appreciation for Orwell and this master piece. In highschool, they taught us how it is based on the Russian revolution and Joseph Stalin, but more and more now, I draw some comparisons between Napoleon, the pigs- and the current Republican/GQP party and the fear mongering touted and spewed from *Faux "news"*. I know this comment will most likely lead to crazed key board warriors, but 🤷♂️ our nation will need a long time to heal from the wedge buried between us, and I fear that things don't look like they will be getting better anytime soon. Also, due to current events, Slava Ukriane!! 🇺🇦
