1984 By George Orwell
The story starts with a man by the name of Winston Smith who is aged 39 and is a member of the Outer Party. The society of Oceania is described, it seems like a contry under martial law. Everywhere there are large posters of Big Brother, who is the ruler of Oceania the posters have propergandial messages and I think that they are being used so that the repetition of seeing these things will brain wash the people, and make them think kindly towards Big Brother.Winston lives in a very old flat on the 7th floor of Victory Mansions. He works at the Ministry of Truth or Minitrue as it is called in Newspeak a language made by Big Brother, it is in an enormous pyramid shaped structure which towers above the other buildings in London. There are three other Ministries housed in similar buildings, they are the Ministry of Peace, Ministry of Plenty and the Ministry of Love.Everyone in the Outer Party has a telescreen in their home, which has propaganda on it all day, and the Thought Police can also watch its Party members through these devices. The Thought Police make sure that everyone follows the rules and never thinks anything bad about Big Brother.There life seems to be very dull and doesn'
While he was walking, a rocket bomb demolished some houses right next to him. This is so that Winston is made to feel safe with his oppressor when they have control of him, and they want him to think that they are a source of safty and that they are the only important things in their life. When ever he put away his diary in the drawer, he would place a small grain of dust on the book, so that if it were moved he would know. they then went thhome in their separate ways. There is supposed to be an underground movement known as The Brotherhood, they are the only hope of the demise of Big Brother. When they met she gave Winston details of a rendezvous in the countryside where they could be together without being observed. They shared a bar of proper chocolate, which Julia had got from the black market. The children are shown to be strange and they showed no respect for their parents Winston's neighbor, Mrs. Four days later, at his work, Winston was on his way to the toilet when he saw the dark haired girl at then end of the corridor coming to him, when they were close to each other she fell down. Winston replys O'Briens questions with answers which confirm that he and Julia are loyal to the movement. He is slowly becoming more rebelious by not doing thing which are expected of him. In my opinion Winston will just be another worker ant in a long, insignificant line. O'brien stops and says that, that was only 40 and he can inflict pain on him when ever he wants and if Winston lies to him he will turn it on again. Winston has excepted Big Brother and has become just like everyone else, he still has his own thoughts but a majority of his mind is pro Big Brother. I think this was was Orwell was trying to achieve, to make the reader really believe what is happening in the book and make you feel sympathetic towards Winston.
