1984 is a great novel, but I have had to write seven essays about it, however that was in Freshman year. Orwell was a social commentator, but he could do almost nothing through dialogue, which is why there is almost none in Animal Farm. In interviews, he stated that he did not consider himself a writer, because he struggled developing characters, and writing dialogue. His characters contribute to the overall message he is trying to send in the novel. However, what I always tell my teacher, is that I am studying the elements of Literature that we study every day: The theme of 'The American Dream' is prevalent in The Godfather, as it is in The Great Gatsby. I made this point, and she shut her mouth. Wench.

You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like, you'd say to somebody: "You're gonna like this guy; he's all right. He's a goodfella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.
