CHAPTER 8
Pages 81-104
Winston walked home after work noticing a bomb landing in the street destroying a group of houses. Then he notices an old man walking down the street. He realized that the old man might be one of the few that were alive before the Revolution and hoped to think he will tell Winston about the past.
Winston takes him to have a couple of beers and questioned him about the past. Unfortunately, the old man’s memory wasn’t so great when he tell Winston the information he was hoping for.
He then walks out and goes into the area where he bought his diary. He goes into a shop and meets Mr. Charrington, the owner, and buys a glass paperweight. Mr. Charrington shows him a cozy room above the shop and Winston absolutely loves it.

This was also another good help... but I wonder when the book will get better... well not that the book isn't good, but more exciting and clearer?
ReplyDeleteWhy are bombs always landing in the streets, yet Winston just walks by like nothing happened? or at least it seems that way...
ReplyDelete@ Annalee, I believe that there were bombs on the streets to scare the citizens and to make them feel that they are at 'war'. That's only my guess though.
ReplyDeleteIn the end I was so surprised that Mr.Charrington was actually a ThoughtPolice. BUT THANKS FOR THE SUMMARY!
ReplyDelete^ That was Janet
