Part 3 Prison

"He did not know where he was." pg237. Winston awakens in the Ministry of Love and experiences hunger like never before. Now he is caught and it's time to rewind his mind into accepting and loving Big brother. Every hope of rebellion changes when O'Brien walks into the cell. "They got him too" and Winston seems crushed by this but somehow he knew all along. Big Brother is smarter then we thought. Winston finds out that he has been watched for many years and little by little Winston is learning and understanding the Party.

Winston and Julia could have been fools to think that the Party would never break apart the way they love each other. But with no surprise the party is succeeding in doing so. Winston is enduring pain and torture that make it impossible to think about Julia at a time like this. Big brother made Winston believe that O'Brien could have been his light of hope to get out of this misery but once again the Party was on top if this. It seems as though the Party is getting smarter and smarter with what they are doing. Their greed for more power is getting stronger and the people are falling in their traps. Winston finds out that it was O'Brien who actually wrote Gold steins book and Winston, once again, is shocked that he was a fool to believe of a "Brotherhood."

Everyone can feel like a fool sometimes and believe things that seem so perfect when in reality, something more powerful was behind it all. Just like Winston's beliefs of the "Brotherhood" were shattered when O'Brien speaks the truth. With learning that the Party is simply ahead of the game Winston is beginning to learn the party's ways.

+ Good Intro(describing Winston's state in Prison)
+ Body is very well written
- Grammatical errors
- needs a stronger attention getter
