Big Brother brainwashes all the citizens through the telescreen. On every telescreen, there’s a big picture of him, faded into the foreground while television maybe play in the background. It seems as though every second of everyday, he is watching everyone make their every move.
Everyday there’s two minutes of hate, where all the paroles are forced to sit and watch a video of horrible things/events. Big Brother has the power to change the outcome of the past, present, and possibly the future. He brainwashes everyone into thinking he has absolute power. He is the new God of this so-called new world.
In his utopia called Oceania, all the people act as though they’re zombies, merely because they are forced to live the life they don’t want, but just as Big Brother wants them to live it.
Everyday, he’s on the telescreen giving a speech about his power and control. There’s no way to escape Big Brother; he’s in everyone’s mind and you have to live the life you have, until either you die of sickness, old age, or if you are to be enclosed in Room 101.

Book 3, Chapter 2

2. He threatened him with the electric knob and was trying to tell him that the Party does control everything around him. Whatever they say, is the truth and nothing but the truth. (ex: Martin Luther is white, and he would actually then be white)
3. The party doesn't want to make the same mistakes that past governments have done. Like lose land, be overtaken, etc.
4. Winston had believed everything the party had said and fell for all their lies. Winston experienced many shocks throughout all the time, and it sent him back to the person he used to be.

Book 3, Chapters 1
Book 3, Chapter 1
1. He's in prison, where he is being treated like garbage by the guards. When he is there, he meets two different inmates, who seem to have very appalling features and personalities. Winston is treated this way because that's just how the world is. If you're a outer party member, you get treated poorly, but now that he's in prison, he's being treated even more like crap.
2. Supposedly it's his mother, or so she says she is. She's probably there cause she's insane, just like every other person there.
3. They have a altercation with each other while they're being watched by the telescreen.
4. The man begins to freaks out completely and act insane. His face went fro pale to a weird shade of green, and started yelling things like 'Kill Me' 'Hang Me' "Sentence Me to 25 Years!' And even to take his family and possibly kill them too, just so they don't go into Room 101.
5. O'Brien is really a part of the guard system / Thought Police. Charrington and O'Brien are both part of the Thought Police, and they both got into Winston's head throughout the book, getting on his good side, and getting to be close to him so they figured him out.

Book 2, Chapter 8 & 9
Book 2, Chapter 8
1. The inner and outer party's living arrangements contrast easily based on the setup, and the freedom within one's room. The inner party gets pretty much whatever they like, along with good food, privacy, and a good environment to live in. The outer party has no privacy, gets bad food, and has a schedule they pretty much have to base their life on. Therefore, the inner party has it easy.
2. He tests them by asking them all these questions discussing what exactly they'd go through to defeat the party. But when the question would it be worth not seeing each other anymore, Julia steps in and finally says no, allowing O'Brien to see that they have developed a good relationship.
3. He tells them that the Brotherhood actually exists, and that nobody has any idea where Goldstein really is. He also says that if anyone were to attempt to kill Big Brother, they would end up dying themselves.
4. He's going to hand Winston a briefcase as if he were to drop it without even noticing.
CHAPTER 9
1.
2. The upper class, middle class, and lower class.
3. It seems as though only the names have changed throughout time, and the people and classes themselves are still acting/being the same.
4. Just to keep the people under control to an extent. By using and doing all the things that they do, people are treated and acting like slaves and prisoners in their own homes and community.
5. To get rid of ones thoughts completely and tell them how they are going to act, and possibly take over the entire world?
6. They can not overtake the fellow superstates, which is a big deal to them. And they are unable to physically take over what exactly it is that they want.
7. So that their people don't mingle together and possibly plan an overthrowing of the systems. And maybe they'd realize how much a like their countries are treating them.
8.
9.
10. Upper Class: To conquer and control all.
Middle Class: To live their lives and act as though they're better than the lower class.
Lower Class: To try and stay alive and build up a better life.
11.
12. If you go by this book, people are being watched on a regular basis, and are fed fake food. Back in the old times, there was no way of being watched unless someone was physically watching you, and food was completely real, so no bi-product fake foods.
13. They have the more civilized workers, better communication, and are just a stronger unit.
14.
15. They force people into worshipping or just being lead by Big Brother as if he were God.
16. Depends on what type of class they were born into; kind of like how they've always done it.
17. When you take a certain topic, and have two completely different thought about it, and whatever side that they pick, it'll end up being the truth about that topic.
18. If they want to keep full control over the people, then they're going to have to act as though they never make a mistake. They have to show the people they can trust them, and if they do so, then they're under the ruling classes order.

Book 2 Symbols
Clock- Winston and Julia always think they have more time than they do. The clock is on it’s own time, and isn’t following the rest of the clocks in society. Winston and Julia are like the clock because they are on their own time and they are following the clock that isn’t the same as the rest of the clocks in the society.
Paperweight- Symbolizes Winston’s and Julia’s relationship. It’s a symbol of their own little world and place. The coral was Julia’s life. When they get caught, the paper weight gets smashed just like their relationship did at that same moment.
The singing Prole woman- The song is a sad song, but when she sings it, she makes it sound pretty. It represents that Julia’s and Winston’s relationship was always hopeless, as well as the idea of a new beginning.
Nursery Rhyme about the bells- it represents churches which represents the lower class, and Winston thinks that the lower class are going to be the ones to rebel against the government and overthrow it. The rhyme is Big Brother saying that the rebel and overthrow of the government is never going to happen.
Laws protect Freedom: We think that the Law protects either yourself and your safety, or other people from what you are going to do, and not necessarily your freedom, because to be free is to do whatever you wish without a penalty. For example you could drive around without wearing a seatbelt if you chose, and not get a fine for it.
