Winston's friend, Syme has been evaporated. To make sure Winston instincts were right he went to the notice board of the chess committee in where Syme was a member but his name was not found as if he had never had existed.
Everyone was very busy for hate week preparations, stands had to be erected, effigies built, slogans coined, songs written, rumors circulated, and more photographs faked. The anthem or the hate song was all made by drums and the telescreen was consistently showing it. At the same time, rocket bombs were thrown and had killed a large amount of people such as the one that fell on the theater in Stepney, or in the playground were many children were blown to pieces. Winston's and Julia's conspire went on, they have met for six times in Mr. charrington's shop. Winston started talking about all the things that the party does such as, forged documenting, changing history according to their perspective, but Julia was actually falling asleep. This type of knowledge was already known by her, but she found them so boring that she did not mind what the party was doing with history. She was more concern about the present and future. Julia sees the past as something that does not affect her, since the truth will never be found out, and something that's a waste talking about. In the other hand, Winston has been trying to find more about his past, and its an interesting topic for him. I believe that talking about the past is more interesting for Winston because he is older and half of his memories are about the past which he is trying to bring them back to decode some mysteries in his life. But Julia is a young girl, and she had her memories very clear so, for her there is no need to find out anything. She is more of a girl who looks forward at the present and future, to always find a way to live a happy life breaking the rules and never getting caught, that's her purpose in life. Winston sees life differently, he wants to know, more about how things came to what they are now, a controlled society by an imaginary man who no one knows if he actually exists. ( BIG BROTHER).
