The beginning of the book is so important because you really get the feel for the weird mother-daughter relationship between Astrid and her Mother.

A Book Review of George Orwell’s 1984
Living in a society with limited freedom of expression is not, in any case, enjoyable. A Totalitarian society is a good example of such a society, because although it provides control for the people, it can deny them a great deal of freedom to express themselves. The fictional society in George Orwell’s 1984 also stands as a metaphor for a Totalitarian society. Communication, personal beliefs, and individual loyalty to the government are all controlled

Ayn Rand's Book: The Virtue of Selfishness
Rand’s argument for the definition of ‘selfishness’ is that it does not include a moral evaluation; it does not tell us whether concern with one’s own interest is good or evil.

Altruism, which means unselfishness; self-sacrifice; selflessness, is declared by Rand that it
