""Julia! Julia! Julia my love! Julia!" For a moment he had had an overwhelming hallucination of her presence. She had seemed to be not merely with him, but inside him. It was as though she had got into him, but inside hm. It was as though she had got into the texture of his skin. In that moment he had loved her far more than he had ever done when they were together and free. Also he knew that somewhere or other she was still alive and needed help." (Orwell, 230) Sometimes we do anything to keep our love ones save. We would rather be hurt rather than them getting hurt. Winston for the first time is actually learning what the meaning of love is, and how important it is. Today we all know that there is evil in the world, but yet love is what keeps us all living. We need our loved ones or else what will we become. If we are left alone for a long time we die in the inside, if we feel alone and unwanted we feel hurt in hearts. Love is a powerful tool that each and every...

"He was standingup from the plank bed in the half-certainty that he had heard O'Brien's voice. All though his interrogation, although he had never seen him, he had had the feeling that O'Brien who was at his elbow, just out of sight. It was O'Brien who was directing everything. It was he who set the guards onto Winston and who prevented them form killing him. It was he who decided when Winston should scream with pain, when he should have a respite, when he should be fed, when he should sleep, when the drugs should be pumped into his arm." (Orwell, 201) O'Brien seems to be taking advantage of the power he has over his prisoner, Winston. O'Brien is trying to get the truth out of Winston about Julia and him. Winston is not strong enough for him because he is letting O'Brien control everything about him; the pain, starving him, and most importantly putting the party back in his head. This quote reminded meabout today and the wars that every country h...

"When his father disappears, his mother did not show any surprise or any violent grief, but a sudden change came over her. she seemed to have become completely spiritless. It was evident even to Winston that she was waiting for something that she knew must happen. She did everything that was needed--cooked, washed, mended, made the bed, swept the floor, dusted the mantelpiece-- always very slowly with a curious lack of superfluous motion, like an artist's lay-figure moving of its own accord, Her large Shapely body seemed to relapse naturally into stillness. For hours at a time she would sit almost immobile on the bed, nursing his young sister, a tiny, ailing, very silent child of two or three, with a face made simian by thinness." Winston's mother is a strong independent women that gave her children everything. She gave them care and love when their father left them. Even though she seemed sad that he left she would never show her kids. She wants them to know that s...

""And now I must go," she said as soon as he had mastered his instructions. "I'm due back at nineteen-thirty. Ive got to put in two hours for the Junior Anti Sex League, handing out leaflets, or something. Isn't it Bloody? Give me a brush-down, would you. Have I got any twigs in my hair? Are you sure? Then good-by, my love, good-by!"" After the time that Julia and Winston shared in the Woods, Julia gives Winston instructions on what to do after, as if she has done this before. Which she has. Julia seems like she is rebellious and she knows how to get men to like and respect her. Before Winston received the note about Julia's love for him, he wanted to hurt her physically. Yet after he receives the note he starts to fall for her, and after the time they had in the woods he respected her. I think that Julia has found a power that she can use in Oceana.
