+            This book is part of something I call the "read it in high school
+            effect". The best way to keep people brainwashed without causing
+            a uprising is to make them read these kinds of books while at the
+            sametime making sure they dont understand them. High schoolers
+            being forced to read books wait until last second to read it
+            than skim through it carelessly, watch the movie and pretend
+            they read it, flat out dont read it at all, find a article online
+            summarizing it, use chatgpt to do their home work... the only kids
+            who actually do their work correctly in high school are the ones
+            loyal enough to know the truth while still being loyal supporters
+            of our corrupt society just like the inner party members in 1984.
+            Years later no one remembers what they read in high school and
+            only remember what they are told they read. No one wants to reread
+            a book they were forced to read in high school. Lucky for me I was
+            home schooled and got to read it based off actual interest.
+            <br/><br/>
+            I know what your about to say "You are a socialist so you clearly
+            didn't understand 1984". I have a quote from 1984 for you
+            "... the Party rejects and vilifies every principle for which the
+            Socialist movement originally stood, and it chooses to do this in
+            the name of Socialism.".

           <p>Its a clever little book indeed. Had me laughing the entire time.
           Anyways, <b>its not designed to be used entirely as a anti-socialist
