Summer Reading

Between Jane Eyre, and 1984, the two books I read over the summer, 1984 was far better and delivered a far more powerful message than Jane Eyre did. 1984 is a story of struggle and survival, keeping one's individuality and own thoughts through the most trying times. It is quite relevant in today's times and I often find myself comparing things in our world to the world of 1984. On a personal likeability scale, I give 1984 an 8, and I understand completely why it is such a classic read in our society today.
Jane Eyre took a classic approach, a more proper story, however it holds its fair share of dramatic and adventurous events it does not touch on any topic as great as 1984. Dealing with relationships between the rich and poor, and relationships between two people as well, the book is interesting but does not deliver as powerful a message as 1984, and is hardly as memorable as Big Brother. I would personally give Jane Eyre a 4 on my scale of likeability.
