In chapter 7 part 2





In chapter 7 part 2 Winston and Julia are in the room above Mr.charrington's shop, there Winston wakes up crying and Julia asks him what was wrong. Winston has always believed that he has murder his mother, but in a dream he finally remembered what actually happened. He tells his dream to Julia. His father had vanished and he was left with his young sister and his mother. They lived in destitute conditions, and most of their time they had to be in underground shelters hiding from air raids, and often without any food. Winston was always hungry just as his mom and his sister but always persistent on getting more food.  His mom sacrificed her food to give him more. One day, Winston stole the chocolate that was supposed to be shared with his sister but he run away. When we went back home, since that day he ran away he never saw his mom or sister ever again. He imagines that she must had been took to a labour camp and his sister must had been adopted just like him. I believe that this dream will wake up other dreams and decode more information about him. Knowing more about the past can risk his life more, he will try to look for his sister or figure out what happened with the people of that time.
Winston also discusses an interesting point, and is that the party has eliminated human feelings, the only people that are “ human” are the proles, but the party members like Julia and Winston,are becoming more “ inhuman” since their desires are restricted, and they can't do what they wish to do. They live in a society where freedom does not exist, they are constantly being watched. They are turning like a robots, been controlled by the party, saying what the party wants to see and what they want them to say. I do agree with Winston that the party is making them “inhuman” now that his way of thinking is changing, I believe that in later chapters he will turn into an insurgent.
