I would honestly have the teacher reviewed. How can you teach English without knowing the main ideas? I mean hell, read sparknotes at least.

Omg, I actually want to cry over this FML. OP, suggest that they should dedicate a class to watching the film instead. Hopefully that will start changing their minds.

Sort of sad...I'm reading that in my class right now as well, but my teacher made gave us a lot of background info about why the book was written and stuff like that.

I'm sorry but if that's the message they got from it let them stay ignorant an allegory of communism is just out of their pay grade and always will be

How? If you read it for an assignment, how was it not explained to you? If you read it for pleasure and it did not have an introduction explaining everything, how could you not google when it became clear you were not understanding something crucial?

so these people have never heard of Eric Arthur Blair? In that case, '1984' will blow their minds..
