Hello, this is my two minute speech, and I am going to be talking about opinions. It might seem like an odd topic for this generation’s “most important message”, but the topic of opinions encompasses a lot more than you might think upon first glance.

1984: Nineteen Eighty-four and Orwell Essay

6George Orwell Literature and Totalitarianism I said at the beginning of my first talk that this is not a critical age. It is an age of partisanship and not of detachment, an age in which it is especially difficult to see literary merit in a book with whose conclusions you disagree. Politics — politics in the most general sense — have invaded literature, to an extent that does not normally happen, and this has brought to the surface of our consciousness the struggle that always goes on between…
