The first method of torture that happens is the shock treatment. O’Brien questions Winston and tells him why he is in this predicament. He tells him that he is here because of his questions and non-beliefs of the society. This process is made for Winston to be a good Party member, learn what he thought was wrong, and to understand and accept the Party’s view of things. O’Brien tells Winston about how the society functions and how it will never be brought down. O’Brien has many conversations with Winston but the one that struck me the most was how the society is going to be in the future. O’Brien explains how harsh the future will be because their will be no relationship needed between friends, wives, and kids. He says that things will be much harsher and that the enemy or heretic of the society will always be there and is defeated. The results that Winston had thought this test were ok. He believes in O’Brien and but just repeats what he says so he won’t feel anymore pain. He keeps on asking why about everything O’Brien says. This shows that Winston questioned O’Brien because he didn’t understand at first. He realizes now about the society that it can never be fixed and will stay like that forever. He finally loves Big Brother at the end because he realized he is just limiting his self from freedom if he doesn’t like it. With him loving Big Brother he has won the victory over himself. I think the broader messaged is that things in our society can make up history or anything so that the society can believe it. Also, I think he could be saying that people that go against their government will always be ridiculed and looked down at and the only way for citizens to be free is follow the rules of the society and accept it. The last point he makes is that mostly all humans if put in a certain situation will give up what they love, like a person, to save themselves.

First, it says that proles are associated to be the lower class. The high class in this society will always be high class, Inner Party, and in control. The book talks about how the proles aren’t in power and how the party runs but can’t be stopped. This happens because the citizens don’t know anything and are placed in their society. Like with war, they stay in war so people can stay ignorant and not really wonder and think about the other places like Eurasia and Eastasia. Winston caught the fact earlier that they were in war with Eastasia and not Eurasia. I think that this could alter his hopes for the proles because they really don’t have a reason to live and don’t know about anything. The Party job is to keep the proles stupid and they are accomplishing their task. They keep the proles in poverty and in darkness until they need to raise them up like when they showed the prisoners of war that one time. This theory does make sense because they control history to which no one knows and keeps everything in their society running basically by telling no one about anything that goes on outside their society. The Inner Party always stays in power because there are always new members being in the party and old ones going away.

Winsotn dream Post 7

The dream sequence talks about when Winston was younger. It explains a little bit about his childhood and how they seemed to be struggling without his father. The author presented imagery as if his family were proles and poor. He described his living state as a war zone with machine gun fire from the distance, enormous queues outside the bakery, and lots of rubble everywhere. His dreamed showed how he and other boys would pick out ribs of cabbage leaves, potato peelings from the streets and other foods. The leaving of his father made his mom’s physical states a lack of energy in every single thing she did. After this Winston had become really greedy. He wouldn’t be pleased with his sister’s amount of food so she would give him part of his sister food. This happened even when they’re struggling to get food and with his sister’s sickness. The impoverish conditions made Winston into an animal. His mom had given him most of a chocolate ration and he ended up stealing his sister’s and running away. After he ran away he was in the street for hours and didn’t know what to do. He came back and family wasn’t there. It took him a little while to get use to it but he did. This shows how much Winston misses his family and needs someone to talk to like Julia. He views that people are selfish now. It’s important to for the book because it shows how the society really doesn’t care about a single person just the community as a whole.
In conclusion, the society takes away a since of love from family and one another. He shares his love with Julia since he didn't have the experience with his mom.

Friday Blog: Wisnton and O'Brien

When it states he knew sooner or later they are talking about what Winston predicts about him. He talks about the sooner or later he is going to meet up with O'Brien some day. I believe that this quote comes from his dream when he is seeing him in the darkness. Also, he knows that at the Ministry of Love he will be killed or taken by the police. He knows that his rebellious days are probably going to end at some point with him taken by the police. O’Brien makes Winston think of his future. Winston knows that something is going to happen and it might end up putting him in the grave. I think O’Brien is some mysterious man undercover that is a spy. O’Brien has too much knowledge of Syme and other things that lead to him being part of Big Brother. I think O’Brien is going to end up getting Winston and killing him off. How could O’Brien appear randomly and talk about his good Newspeak he writes. Winston knows his fate and accepts what going to happen. I think he accepts this because you can’t hide forever of being a rebel. If you don’t accept it now it’s going to come back and bite you even worse.

Comparing Winston and Julia

Julia and Winston are more similar than different just because of their main focuses and plans to rebel against the society. I’m going to explain the main similarity but more differences of the two. They are similar because they are both are rebels. They go against the society and do it in a secret manner so they wont get caught. They know that they might be caught but still want to commit the crimes.
They are different in some ways. First, Julia has had more experience committing crimes and has been doing this longer than he has. She’s formed some techniques of talking without moving her lips so she can commit her crimes covert. She commits crimes because she believes its fun and the society/ party wont let her. Winston commits crimes because he takes pleasure in feeling like a rebel and doesn’t feel the society is right. Julia is afraid of death and wants to just have fun in life. Winston believes that death is going to happen even no matter what you do.
Next, they have different opinions of the Brotherhood. Winston believes that it could possibly exist due to the information he has heard in the past. He thinks that there has to be some type of rebel group that is going against the Big Brother. Julia has a different opinion on the matter. She thinks that there could be no such thing because it wouldn’t be planned that well and be bound to fail.
In conclusion, although more differences were stated they both have the same main goal of rebelling. Through this part of the book Winston is starting to really like Julia and wants to end up getting married in the future. But their lifestyle now doesn’t have any time for this because of the Hate Week and the trouble of being caught. We will see where their relationship goes … Till Next time.

Although the societies are different John and Winston are similar in their statements. In John’s society they want people to experience as much happiness as they can. In the Brave New World they won’t people to feel good so they give them all the sex they can. In Winston’s society they don’t want them to have pleasure in sex at all except for creating people.
The two people are similar because they want to rebel against the society and don’t agree with it. John thinks that the people should be able to believe in what they want to and learn about the history and scientific parts of things. He rebels in the society by killing himself and going against the treatment he is given. Winston also believes that his society of people should be introduced to their history (which would lead to the civilization falling). He rebels by committing crimes secretly like writing in a journal, keeping old things like the glass paperweight, and committing the crime of having sex for pleasure.
Winston is saying that his society is to good to be true because they make up all the rules at different times. He thinks that being to pure and perfect is a bad thing. This is why he wants to go against Big Brother because he knows that this culture is unbalanced. In addition, he likes committing these crimes cause no else does it until he finds out the Julia been doing it for a long time. He doesn’t like her because she’s had sex with a lot of men but likes her cause she’s been going against the society all along and other people have too.
