The title of this blog is not literal; but more of a metaphor. I would compare myself to a puppy because I have never blogged in my life. It may take some screaming and yelling, but in the end of it all, I will be able to say I am a trained blogger.

reading blog 1984
In George Orwell's 1984, the dystopian set novel focuses on the theme that big brother watches everything. Every space is seen through telescreens that have microphones and cameras. Not only are your actions censored, but so are your thoughts. Thoughtpolice constantly scan people to find any sort of suspicion and will incriminate them with the thoughtcrime. Winston, the main character, happens to be able to think for himself and isn't quite yet brainwashed by the party. However, this isn't good for him because thinking as an enemy is a big crime and it only takes time for him to be caught.
