Chapters 3 & 4

Throughout chapter 3, all I could think about was how that Winston grew up post-WWII. Winston mentions phrases such as giant bombs and surprising warfare in the text. It also mentions England and Britain existing and how London was still London like it is in the present. With the book being written in the late 40s, after WWII, it seems like it is portraying what the world would be if the world was run by one leader. Chapter 4 was a little difficult to understand, as it went into great detail as of the history of Oceania . What I got out of chapter 4 was that Winston's job was to destroy any unwanted history of Big Brother and his ideas which turned out being wrong. If BB predicted something to happen in the future which turned out being wrong, Winston would re-write the history in the text so that BB predicted events that happened. This method would erase all history of the government being wrong and change it so the government was right. It practically was used to brainwash the proles that the government is always right and you were not to question it or BB.
