Summarizer: Part 1, Chapter 1

This book is a bit strange in how they put chapters. At first I thought the big bold letters were chapters but, I don't think chapters are 100 pages long so I went to an online website where you can read 1984 for free online to see that it's parts and within that, it's chapters. TEEHEE.

CHAPTER 1
Pages 1-20

This book explains the story about Winston at around April of 1984. He was on a lunch break from his job in the Ministry of Truth. Everywhere he went, he saw a big poster that says, “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU”. Winston begins to keep a Diary and explained what he watched like night.

The next day, two people visited Winston’s work place, a dark-haired girl and O’Brien. He hated her because he realized that he was attracted to her, but can’t have her. After the Two Minute Hate, everyone is chanting “B-B”. Winston felt disgust and record his feelings onto his diary.

  3. I don't think his only reason of hating her was because he wanted her but couldn't have her, but also because he thinks she might be part of the Thought Police.
