literature

i was in class today and my teacher informed us that we were doing a paper on the book 1984. i flipped. i don't know anything about this book and even if i did would i really like it. Then he continued on to finish what the rest of the paper was going to be about. We have to compare 1984 to guantanamo bay. I guess it's the island where they put marines in and torture them for a day or two. My teacher is really politically involved but come on. no one in our class has ever heard about guantanamo bay. and he has never talked a lot about it. he did once and that was to tell us that bush is mean. Who honestly cares what you think about bush. he is our president and while he is in office at least have the curtosy to respect him. it's unbelievable what he tells us about bush. And apparently he is against nixon as well. You can tell he is a democrat and i am not. we have different views on things.
