Chapter 8
Summary: Winston walks through the run down part of town. The area where the proles live. He talks to an older man hoping to find some important information about the true past of the city. He realizes that this mans memory is far gone, and most proles do not care about the past. Then he stops by the same place he bought the diary. He buys a paperweight and talks with the owner. He shows him a picture of a church. As Winston walks home he realizes the girl from his office is following him home. He thinks about hitting her with the paperweight to get rid of the temptation she brings upon him. Then he decides that he should commit suicide to avoid toture from the thought police if they catch him.
Inference: He is NOT going to commit suicide. He is going to find some other way around the thought police. Probably getting the proles to help him out.
Connection: This part reminds me of Anne Frank and the Jews in Germany. They are always running and fearing for their lives. Never knowing what is going to happen.
