From the 1945 George Orwell novel.
Simple enough for a child to read but deep enough to make an adult think.
Things slowwwly get just a bit worse, and worse, and worse…
PLOT POINT: Around 1:09.
This “fairy story” gets darker and darker as it goes along.
Nastier plot point: 1:48:25.
Very depressing, but a very important book.
Inspirational Quote: “There were days when they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more food.”
Grade: A
