*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*Reading* THE POEM
A poem that takes a look at George Orwell's book, "1984."

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

I liked how the heavy font subtly reinforced the theme of the poem and that was the losing of free will.

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is free form poem. There is an AABBCC rythme scheme in each stanza.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read and has a nice flow when read out loud. It lulls you in much like 1984's television....

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "Instead he is tortured and brainwashed until Big Brother has won by breaking his will." This description is direct and to the point. Our hero is tortured until his free will is broken. There's a heavy handedness to the tone and inflection of lines and embodies a 'hopelessness' that strikes harsh emotional chords. Well done.


*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening lures the reader in, much like the television in 1984 and keeps them reading. I like how the poem echoes the theme of the book with it's moody, heavy presentation. The title fits the poem well. Harsh expression well done.
