Journal 1: 1984 What has struck your interest so far in the novel? Why? 1984 is fascinating‚ because it was written to take place in the future‚ but the future has since become the past.

In Beowulf anything evil or bad is related to hell‚ while anything good is because of their faith in god.

After reading the novel there were many things about my feelings towards war. Before reading the novel I always knew that war was a hard thing on a person‚ emotionally and physically.
