Dally Winston is meaner, colder and tougher member of the greasers. Ponyboy describes him as ‘towheaded and shifty-eyed, Dally was anything but handsome. Yet in his hard face there was character, pride, and a savage defiance of the world.’…
Series of traumatic events occurred while residential school were running, but it left a scars on aboriginal people forever. As an aboriginal women I get a lot of understanding from Pauline Johnsons “As it was in the beginning”, growing up on the Six Nation Reserve and having meet people who have experienced the same things as Pauline. Residential schools were open between the 1980’s and the 1990’s and the last school did not close until 1996, the year I was born. Pauline writes, “No more, no more the tepees; no more the wild stretch of prairie, the intoxicating fragrance of the smoke-tanned buckskin; no more the bed of buffalo hide, the soft, silent moccasin; no more the dark faces of my people, the dulcet cadence of the sweet Cree tongue”…
Looking back in the book 1984 there were many issues that were happening such as Winston and Julia are put in a cage, Room 101 and how bad it was, and Winston and Julia being careful when talking to each other. But, there were many other issues that happened in the book also. We can tell that Winston really loves Julia and he would do anything to be with her and talk to her. But, when Winston’s fear really did come true he had to turn the table and blame everything on Julia so he wouldn’t get killed. Even though talking to each other was hard, Winston did manage a way to try and be with…
Winston and Julia eventually end up getting caught. Winston gets tortured and brainwashed. As he is about to get rats put on his face, he screams and pleads to put those rats on Julia. He is liberated and now is loyal to his party. His feelings for Julia were gone.…
At this point, they were truly mistaken. Winston and Julia were taken away because O’Brien and Mr. Charrington were secretly working for the Thought Police and turned them in. With this turn of events Winston and Julia were to be cleansed and tortured to conform to “The Party”. Here Winston was faced with his ultimate fear, and could not take the thought of rats on him. He broke down and was willing to sacrifice Julia because of his fear. This was a low point for Winston because he truly thought “The Party” would not get to him, and as for the protagonist of the story the audience would imagine he would overcome “The Party”.…
Let’s start with his relationship with Julia. If I was Winston, I wouldn’t have even thought of being in a close relationship with anyone because it causes private loyalties. The Party tries to deteriorate all private loyalties so that the people have only the Party to be loyal to. But this can be used against the Party by making one loyal to only oneself, therefore making one stronger. Unfortunately Winston’s mind is weak, he needs to feed off others otherwise he will…
Julia and Winston feel like they have to go according to what is happening around them or else they will suffer consequences. For example, in 1984 it says, "Tell me, what are your true feelings towards Big Brother?' 'I hate him.' 'Good. Then the time has come for you to take this last step. You must love Big Brother, not enough to obey him, you must love him" (Orwell 355). They both see Big Brother as a threat and abide by him. Disobeying society would get them…
Furthermore proving this idea is when Winston and Julia are having sex. Winston says this to the readers “No emotion was was pure, because everything was mixed up with fear had hatred. Their embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory. It was a blow struck against the Party. It was a political act,” (Orwell 126) This explain Winston’s idea of sex that it’s simply a superficial way to get revenge against the party not to love. But some people might say Winston truly did love Julia, if so why did Winston betrayal Julia, when facing rats that were attach to him. This is proving the idea that all rebellion could always be…
They both know very well that, in this case, their rebellion could lead both of their lives to death if they were discovered. Julia whispers to Winston, “‘And now listen, dear, we’ve got to fix up about the next time we meet. We may as well go back to the place in the wood; we’ve given it a good long rest. But you must get there by a different way. I’ve got it all planned out’” (149). While Winston and Julia actually try to keep their rebellion a secret, many teens rebel against authority for the satisfaction of being caught and being able to reflect upon the moment they were discovered. For instance, when the Columbine shooting took place, it did not occur out of the blue, nor did the two offenders attempt to not be caught. In fact, the two boys told various people about their plan, not worrying about being disciplined before the offence. While the reader has seen proof of Winston’s lack of interest in the person who Julia is, it is time to see Julia’s side. Had she truly cared about Winston, she could have continued to strive for the overcoming of Big Brother to end up together with Winston. However, she does not feel this way and it can be seen by viewing her comment:…
In this year of 1984 if you were caught doing an act that was forbidden the Party took you away to Big Brother. Winston was one of those people when he was caught writing in his journal. Winston was an outsider and he wanted to rebel against the party. Winston was taken away and at some points in the novel Winston was blaming Julia. Yet one thing he did realize was it wasn’t because of Julia. He loved Julia and he honestly didn’t care. He committed a crime, also called a though crime. The newspeak was…
Winston's rebellious character portrays him as a radical, who has the strength to defy the party and its principles. Winston and Julia secretly meet and it becomes apparent that she shares his rebellious ways. Learning that she has engaged in sexual acts with numerous Inner Party members, Winston finds hope. Winston and Julia, however, rebel against the Party for different reasons. Winston wants to end the harsh oppression of the party while Julia's rebellious acts are more self-centered. Winston first demonstrates his hatred of the Party and Big Brother when he writes in his diary "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER". He knows at that very moment a camera might see the written words on the page. Winston continues to flirts with possible arrest by the "Thought Police" for a thought crime, which is any written or though of rebellion against the Party.…
The characters, Julia and Parsons, are very different.While Parsons is an unattractive man who supports the Party, Julia is a young, attractive woman who despises the Party very much. These depictions are what make Winston like Julia, and hate Parsons as much as he does. A similarity between characters has to do with O’Brien and Julia. They both plan a secret meeting with Winston, and both have watched Winston without him knowing anything. O’Brien’s plan to meet Winston is by walking with Winston and telling him to stop by his place to grab something. He gives Winston his address, and Winston gives O’Brien his attention. Julia takes a different approach, but it is still as effective. She knocks into Winston on the street, and in the process of him helping her up, she gives Winston a note. After Winston reads the note, he knows that the two need to meet. No matter the differences, these characters all played roles that shaped Winston’s life and perspective of…
Mr. Charrington, who owns the store in the prole district, betrays Winston and Julia because he too is a spy for the Inner Party. He searches for people who are betraying the Party by buying items such as journals that are not allowed in society. “It occurred to Winston that for the first time in his life that he was looking, with knowledge, at a member of the Thought Police” (Orwell 224). The hidden telescreen and telling Winston he could rent the upstairs loft area are all ways which he helps to catch those who rebel. As soon as Mr. Charrington has the proof he needs, Winston and Julia are reported.…
and Julia were caught having sex and Winston was tortured almost to death. A lot…
Both secreted their relationships, knowing that they wouldn’t get let off lightly if they were ever caught, the consequences of Winston and Julia was foreshadowed at the beginning of the book by Orwell constantly reminding us what it is that would happen if a comrade was to go against big brother. At the beginning, they would be the audience watching as the convicted recited his convictions, but at the end the end Winston turn came. Orwell displays selfishness in Winston as he ends up betraying Julia once their relationship was put to the test and he saw that his life had been threatened by O’Brien; if Winston was put in Romeos position, he probably would not have committed suicide for Julia. As the mask came towards him and time was mocking him, he wished Julia could be in his place instead of him, he could of wished for it just to stop, but as well as the thought of her being there he also ‘shouted frantically’ . To shout it frantically meant that there was no hesitation in this order and he added that he wouldn’t care if they wanted to ‘tear her face off’, so he knew that she would suffer because of her crime and for his too. This seems to be the transaction period at which Winston’s learns to believe and love in Big Brother, in saying this I believe that Winston had realised that all of his thoughts of defeating big brother was not worth him dying and he had already converted. After Julia had recovered, her glance at Winston was full of hatred and ‘dislike’, it is not clear why but after they had confessed to betraying each other she gave him another look of dislike. I think Orwell planned this conversation to occur, to signify the moment they realised it was not worth them loving each other, Julia says that during the torture ‘all you care about is yourself’ but they were quite selfish throughout the whole of the book because they both new that if they…
