Part 3 chapter 3

Power. Power is everything to the party; it's what the party strives to survive on. Without power, the party would not exist. O'Brien describes to Winston that the party eliminates love, compassion, and any other feelings of friendship towards other humans. The only thing you can love and adore is the party- BB. I agree with Winston about his argument that the party cannot destroy affection- it is a trait that is engraved in human nature. There is no destroying love, only altering it. I don't think a society can live on the traits of fear and hatred because the society would be dangerous and insane . People wouldn't have any emotions, it just seems surreal, an idea that is unimaginable to me, because I have never experience such life. Winston is a true human in the book, O'Brien is an obsessed lunatic, an intelligent one at that.

Part 2- Chp. 1

Reading chapter 1 in part 2 gave me some more insight as to who Winston is and who the brown-haired girl is. Up until Winston received a note from her saying, "I Love You" , I thought the brown-haired girl was evil and was out to catch Winston for Thought Crimes. Now that Winston and this girl are communicating, I think that they are going to be drawn together even more. The girl gave Winston some confusing directions to meet her. I think that the directions go to a place where there are no telescreens and you can say whatever you want. This might even be where the secret BrotherHood may meet and discuss about revolting against the government.
