Number Four and Still More

Part Two Chapters 5-9
We skipped chapters two through four because they were practically useless! ha
So here is the summary.. In preperation for Hate Week the proles start to become Rowdy. Winston dreams of when he can spend more time with Julia (a women he is in love with but can not marry because he is still legally marrie but yet seperated.) He wishes is first wife would die just so he could marry Julia. Thoughts of changing his identity to become a prole even cross his mind. He discusses the party and the history that they make up with Julia.
WInston meets with O'Brien a coworker and agrees to meet him at his house just so he can see a Newspeak dictionary. (the "new" language of his country.) He thinks rebelliously and knows he will soon end up at the ministry of Love where he will be killed.
Winston wakes up in the upstairs room of a shop which he as rented with his forbidden love Julia in his arms. He has been crying for he believes he was the man who murdered his mother. He wishes the party wouldn't of stopped human feelings all together. He knows he loves Julia but his love is not to be expressed. They both know of the dangers being together proposes, but they still agree to stay.
The next day the travel to O'Briens house together. He turns off the Telescreen and they all swear to rebellion. After Julia leaves the two men discuss the rebellion further.

At an Hate rally citizens get embarrassed when they are told they have been chanting things which are not true about the local war. Winston goes to the secret room and reads a book on teachings from a man against the party
Inference: Julia and Winston will get married and the proles will go forth with a Revolution.
Connection: This reminds me of slavery. When the African Americans were told things were better than they really were and that things would continue to get better.
