I like this cover the most because it is very subtle but because of how well known 1984 and it's themes of sensorship and conformity are, anyone would be able to recognise what book this is.

"Big Brother is watching you"
This quote has become iconic and almost synonymous with controlling regimes. the term 'Big Brother' is used to describe almost anything looking to violate people's privacy such as the recent NSA spying program and there has even been a television show named after it.
“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
This quote means that language is the only way people can express their feelings. Without it, everyone appears the same and there is no way to spread new ideas or emotions. The party in the book seeks to slowly devolve the English language to achieve this.

The book is broadly against regimes where people are manipulated and controlled by their governments and was made to show the population what a world like this would look like to avoid it from ever happening in the real world.
I agree with this idea because I believe that everyone has the right to privacy and freedom of speech and expression.

Most people live in poverty and despair being watched every second of their lives by 'telescreens' installed in their homes and areunable to hold an opinion which opposes the party in control.
