Brandon Scherr 2/18/14 1984 Reading Guide #1 In the first sentence they show the use of military time saying the clock strikes thirteen. His living quarters make it appear as if more than one person is living there. Aside from the telescreen in the corner of the room, there is a poster that says, ?Big Brother is Watching.? The government tries to control everybody through various ways, such as the telescreens, the thought police, and the police peering through windows and searching rooms. The three party slogans are: ?War is Peace?, ?Freedom is Slavery?, and ?Ignorance is Strength?. Winston hides his journal/diary that he purchased from a small shop behind the brick. Winston writes about a War movie he had seen in theatres a while back.

Winston

Sam Walters Period 4 Old Man (at pub) ? (indirect characterization) bent but active old man, has a prawn-like mustache. As Winston is walking through the prole district, he sees an old man walk into a pub and decides to follow him and ask him some questions to figure out if life is actually better now than it was in the past, but the old man?s memory has failed him, and Winston doesn?t obtain a single clue to what life was like in the past. The old man symbolizes that the past has disintegrated and any and all efforts to recover it are gone. Winston makes the statement that the past is left to the proles, who will only forget it.
