The end of 1984.

I'm actually happy that Winston didn't die. Even though his new way of life is wrong and is the opposite of what he was fighting for. I guess I'm happy that he is. If I lived in Oceania, I would want to be happy as well, even if it meant living an oblivious lifestyle. I guess it is true what they say, life is what you make it. Reality is also what you make it. The proles are the only hope. But I don't think they'll ever revolt. Winston has a memory of his mother when he is at the cafe, but quickly convinces himself it's not true, then he looks up and sees a poster of big brother, he then feels safe and at home. He has changed so much, from the beginning of the book. He's been through various stages, anger, paranoid, confusion, love, hate,and finally happiness. Which is something he didn't have ever seemed to experience. I think over all the ending to the book was alright. I think that the minute Obrien told Winston in an earlier chapter that he had already been caught a long time ago. It kind of gave the ending away. When Obrien suggested that he "had already been caught". It made it seem as if, he was caught, brain washed and then released. Which is what happened to Winston. Which makes more sense as to why they spend so much time brainwashing the prisoners, because they don't always kill them.
Over all I think that Obrien should have mentioned that after Winston was released because it gave away the ending. I still think it was a good book, although I think it had no point because at the end everything was for nothing. Well almost everything, because at least now Winston has achieved happiness. And at the end of the day, that's what we all want.
