Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Latest Educational Reform Proposal.
Fenstermacher, Gary D.
Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n5 p323-26 Jan 1984
The value of Orwell's novel is not to be found in point-by-point comparison between the society it portrays and our own, but in its treatment of such important issues as the centrality of language in thought and action and the dangerous potential bureaucratic organizations have to dominate our minds.
