Nineteen Eighty-Four Critics

Is this an assignment for homeschooling?

It's kind of an essay I'm writing and I need to support it with critics of the novel, but I'm not sure what to use. All I need is names of people or their books if possible.

It's for homeschooling?

I live in a small town where there's no library. We don't even have books in our own language, let alone English ones. That's why looking books online is my only choice. Thanks for the help

Why would your teacher give you such a dumb assignment then?

I chose it myself actually. The only thing I couldn't find information on was the criticism of the novel.

Here's one critique from his teacher, himself a famous author --

Read Aldous Huxley's review of 1984 he sent to George Orwell

Thanks a lot! One question; when mentioning the critiques, should I give my own opinion on them?
