1984: Part 3 Pages 287-295

Winston tries to believe in Big Brother. "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY," "TWO AND TWO MAKE FIVE," "GOD IS POWER." All Slogans in which Winston can't seem to fall under by believing in them.

He finds himself yelling Julia's name, knowing O'Brien will be back to torture him. He takes the risk and tries his best to keep his emotions locked up. O'Brien returns and at his arrival hears Winston say how he hates Big Brother. O'Brien soon returns him to room 101 after losing the privileges of being in a better one which had less torture involved.

Winston at this point does not care what happens to him. All he cares about is Julia. He is fully aware he will die and will not be supportive of anything Big Brother stands for or is and wants to die hating them. He is choosing not to love Big Brother.

+ Good connection/contrast to your blog: “Principles of Newspeak”
+ I like the way you describe how he is against big brother
- It was a little too short, you had such great ideas but you hardly played on them!
- No thesis statement

Your a good writer, with good ideas, a little brushing up on writing skills and a bit more length to your posts would be a good idea. I also like how you go into the characters minds and explain what you think they are thinking. It gives the reader a nice glimpse if they havent read the book.+++
