1984. END OF PART 1.

END OF PART ONE FINALLY! =]
My feelings towards the end of part one is wow. I've always known that our government of today is corrupt but so far reading the book and comparing it to our life's there is so much more to the whole situation than I had imagined. Its amazing to me how George Orwell had wrote this book as a prediction of the future and that almost everything he discusses actually is happening today. After reading part one I'm feeling kind of aggravated and angry. From outside looking in everything seems to obvious and sometimes I have a hard time trying to figure out why these people don't try to do anything about it. Or why the proles don't take a stand. However everything changes if your one of the characters or people experiencing this either in the book or in modern day life. We middle class normal people are proles, like in the book just as they are unaware and oblivious we are too. We never pay attention to this fact because over everything, we do think we are informed and educated. But we really are not. The proles in the book don't take action because sadly they do not no what the problem is in the first place. ANOTHER thing that I feel after reading part one is a bit bored, because the mood throughout the whole first part is basically the same. The whole first part, to me seems focused on the same things over and over again, there doesn't seem to be a big twist or something to my full interest. I know some people might disagree, and I could be completely wrong. But this is just my opinion.
However, I do give credit to the book, because of this book I view life and society in a different way. Summing up what I have learned... it's bascially just, not to always trust or fully believe what others say. Whether its your parent or a stranger. ALSO.... Their is more to the truth that meets the eye!!!! SOMETHING HUGE, that i have learned about this book SO FAR. This book has inspired me, to behave less like a prole and more like a citizen. To be honest I'm not sure what or how the book will unfold considering we haven't gotten to the climax yet and pretty much anything can happen. However, my prediction about the end of the book is that I think that Winston will probably die. The leader of the rebells always die. Even if Winston is able to convince other people to fight for a cause he will die anyway because he started the movement and committed the crime of thought. The party will attack him because he will become the force of the group. However, I am unsure if he will even be able to open up other peoples eyes, or create a movement. Considering he was willing to kill himself just over speculation that he had been caught.
