The First of Many :)

Chapters 1-3
Summary: In the first three chapters of "1984" we find out alot of interesting details about the way people lived in and around this specific year. The story takes place in Oceania.
Winston is a member of the "party" or the government as we would call it. This party is also know as Big Brother. The government controls everything within the peoples lives. They control when you exercise, what you say, and even what you think. They have what is called the thought police. The government can tell all that you think and say. They can tap into your lives whenever they feel its necessary. If you say or think anything that goes against the government you will be sentenced to death!! Duh Duh Dun!!
Winston finds himself buying a diary and writing down his unpardonable thoughts. He comes home from work one day and realizes that he has written DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER! DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER! all over his notebook. Then all of a sudden a knock at the door. Could it be the thought police??
Nope! It is just his neighbor asking for plumbing help. Her children are part of a young spies program, and he fears they will figure him out. Their own mother is afraid of what they will do to her.
Then he goes back to his apartment to dream. He remebers dreams about his co-workers and his mother. (She strangely disappeared 20 years ago.).
After he comes back to reality he is forced to exercise. Feeling like someone is watching, he hears a voice coming from the T.V. telling him to try harder.
Inference: I am assuming he will go on with the diary. Tryin to hide his feelings and keep himself alive. I also think others are going to start feeling the same way.
Connection: The only real connection I can think of is times when I am sitting in my Debate class. I have a strong opinion about the subject being discussed, but I can not share. It starts to eat at you and you wonder if the thought will ever leave your mind.
