I find myself ruminating over Michael Pegum’s observations on Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, brought to my attention on the 18th of September. His commentary is certainly food for thought. Nonetheless, it’s prudent to exercise caution with such provoked ideas because they run the risk of resulting in a “facecrime,” when one’s countenance fails to express the approved emotion. Such a situation is highly unfavourable. Yours sincerely,
Pat Quinn,
