Submitted by: Shawn Collier


Generally, what inspires you to read?
For the most part I don't like to read that much, but I like to read books involving sports.

When did you first read 1984?
Senior year of high school - 2006/2007

How did you come to read this book?
I had to read it for my English class

Why has this book inspired you the most?
It showed that things are not good when everyone follows things exactly and has no opinion of their own. Also, it showed how absolute power can go to a person's head. Hopefully this can teach people in power to be respectful of the people beneath them.
