24. Winston accepts that the Thought Police will catch him. He is a man who analyzes his life. Julia “believed that it was somehow possible to construct a secret world in which you could live as you chose.” She wants to enjoy the moment. Which individual do you relate to the most?
i think i would mostly be related to julia. i want to live life by each day. i hate to have things planned like some people do... my personality feeds off of me being able to do what i want. in a way i'm also like winston since when situations like if i know im goin to get caught, i keep doing it anyways. i pretty carefree in that way, but i think of that as my flaw.

21. Winston is delighted to learn that Julia has been with many men. He hates the Party, so any sign of corruption is thrilling for Winston. Do you think Winston is normal in feeling this way?
since winston is stuck in this world that makes him think a certain way, any sort of rebellion appeals to him. the only type of person that could not be affected by it is a person that is strictly by the rules. personally, i would agree with winston. i wouldnt be able to go through life without thinking about rebellion. the one comparison winston and i have with each other is that we cant be goody two shoes. there is just some thing in peoples minds that needs to be corrupt in some way.

8. People accused of Thoughtcrime disappear. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. In what sense is the punishment for Thoughtcrime worse than death? Why do you think Winston is willing to risk nonexistence?
mr winston is a very funny guy in my opinion... hes extremely sexually frustrated... he use to have a wife and now shes gone because they couldnt have a baby...what im trying to get as is that guys only think about a certain range of things... food, sleep, anything addictive (ciggs), and sex... everything winston does, he has to do it on the DL... the worst thing is to die without leaving anything behind for someone to admire. winstons job is to erase events and people in books etc so no one can trace back to it for any evidence in the future. winston knows whats really good. when your convicted of a thoughtcrime, they take you at night and your just gone. everything about you is erased. its like you never even lived. when that happens, its like you live a life for nothing. when people die, they have a funeral. some people die and get famous... but in this case, you die but no one knows and practically no one cares. the punishment of thoughtcrime is debasing death.
at this point, i think winston is starting to figure everything out. part of him knows that what hes doing is wrong and that theres more out there then what he has because if he didnt he wouldnt go back to the store where he bought the diary. i dont think he thinks that his life is seriously that important. he consistanly questions himself to the point hes obsessed. for example the girl that slipped him the note that said i love you. he was thinking about her nonstop for a good week until he actually got a chance to talk to her. i think hes at the point where he doesnt really care about his life, but he cares about everyone in the future. im thinkin he'll reveal his hypothesis about how the proles will be able to overrule the current government of the BIG BROTHERRRRRRRRR=]
