Summarizer: Part 3, Chapter 4 , 5 , & 6

CHAPTER 4
Pages 274-282

Winston’s health becomes better as he was fed with food and had good hours of sleep. He was watched for over years by the thought police and begins to re-teach himself as he writes “Freedom is Slavery.” He knew one day, they would shoot him but he didn’t know when.

Winston dreamt of Julia and heard her pleading for his help, he woke up screaming his name. He knew he obeyed the Party in his thoughts, but not in his heart.

O’Brien goes and asks him how he feels of Big Brother and Winston says he hated him. O’Brien took him to Room 101.

CHAPTER 5
Pages 282-287

Winston was in Room 101 stripped to a chair. O’Brien tortures Winston with his biggest fear which is rats. He picks up a cage filled with big hungry rats that eat flesh. O’Brien torments Winston by moving the cage closer and closer and allows him to think of another person to do it for you.

Winston blurs out Julia and told him to put it on her instead.


CHAPTER 6
Pages 287-297

Winston then spends most of his time at the Chestnut Café. Winston found Julia in the park one day. They confessed to each other that they betrayed each other.

The telescreen turns on again, and the victory was announced. He was happy and feel that his final change was complete, where he was siding with the Party and Big Brother.

THE END!

CHAPTER 2
Pages 239-260

The Guards beat Winston with everything in hopes that he would confess. After hours of constant beating and pain, Winston was willing to confess anything and everything.
For some reason, O’Brien was watching Winston. O’Brian’s hand is a dial and when he turns it, Winston is affected with pain. O’Brien tells him about the conversation they are having and to regard his memory.

O’Brien holds up four fingers and ask Winston how many fingers is he holding up. Winston says four so O’Brien says, what if the Party says it’s five. Winston still believes he is holding up four.

O’Brien explains why the Party brings people to the Ministry of Love because they don’t care what you did; they want you to become sane and to cure them. They want them to eliminate all thoughts and just to be able to go with the flow.

Winston was allowed to ask a couple of questions. He asks if Big Brother exists, and he answered that he does and will never die and other questions.

CHAPTER 3
Pages 260-274

O’Brien says that power is the ability to make other humans suffer and by them suffering, you will know that they are obeying you.

Winston still doesn’t give up and believes that the Party must be defeated and talks about life and the human spirit.

O’Brien shows Winston how he looks like going against the Party in the mirror. Winston was all filthy and old. He says to O’Brien that he has never betrayed Julia and that was true.

Summarizer: Part 3, Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1
Pages 225-239

Winston was in prison with a lot of proles and political Party prisoners. He heard them talking about Room 101.

Winston grows hungry and craves for food. He understood that he is going to be beaten and thought about Julia and how she is. He also wondered if the Brotherood will help him by giving him a razor blade.

Because the light is always on in the prison cell, Winston doesn’t know what time it is.

His friend Parsons was then brought to the cell which shocked Winston when Parson says he was in trouble for committing a thoguhtcrime. One by one, people we sent to Room 101.

Once, a skull faced-man walked into the jail cell. It was well known that he was starving, almost dying. So a chinless man decided to give him a piece of dirty bread from his pocket to him. The guards beat up the chinless man until his face was all bloody and the skull-faced man was taken to Room 101.

Then, Winston sees O’Brien in jail.

Summarizer: Part 2, Chapter 10

Winston and Julia woke up and got dressed as they look out at the window; watching a women singing. He was thinking about all the people that were under the Party’s rule and thinking about pasting the knowledge of the book to others.

Little did they know, there was A TELESCREEN BEHIND THE PICTURE ON THE WALL. OH MY GOD. THEY ARE GOING TO DIE. THEY ARE GOING TO DIE. THEY ARE GOING TO DIE. I’M SO SCARED. OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO OBSURD. MR. CHARRINGTON IS ALSO A THOUGHT POLICE. OH MY GOD.

You guys, I'm freaking out. This is legit scaring me to shreds. ): I will never think of the year 1984 the same again. Why is this book so...SCARY! URGH, GEORGE ORWELL.

Summarizer: Part 2, Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9
Pages 179-217

Winston was really tired at work. The messenger gave Winston the book. He finally got the time to read the book.

He skipped ahead to read Chapter 3 that is titled “Way is Peace” the chapter explains how the world is divided into three states which are Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. War helped people understand the social and economic hierarchy.

There was no technological development under the Party because creative thought is outlawed. They remain in power by killing a thought.

Then, Julia comes in and Winston reads from Chapter 1 which is the history of the social classes.

After Winston reads the book, he still doesn’t understand why the Party is doing this.

This book got me confused a bit, can someone give me more feedback on this book?

CHAPTER 6
Pages 157-159

As Winston was walking down the corridor, O'Brien walks behind him. He then says how he and 'this friend he forgot the name off but it's Syme who is 'disappeared'' likes Winston's articles. Because Syme is no longer a person, 'unperson' (duh), it was known as a thoughtcrime. O'Brien gives his address to Winston to let him borrow his dictionary.

Winston was happy that someone was against the Party but also scared for his life.

CHAPTER 7
Pages 160-167

Winston’s dream made him remember a childhood memory with his mother. His father had just disappeared (I don’t know if it’s literal or if it means he is dead) and his family never had enough food to eat. Winston’s younger sister is always sick so his mother always takes care of her.

Winston would always fight for food and ask questions like “Why don’t we have enough food?” Winston remembered him being very greedy. When there was a chocolate ration, he took the whole chocolate, without giving any to his sister and ran off with guilt. When he came back because he was hungry again, he never saw his mother and sister again. He felt responsible for their deaths/disappearances.

He remembers that his mother was a good person who lived by her feelings and felt that the world today, feelings is something nobody has except the proles.

Winston and Julia makes a pact that they will not emotionally let go of each other.

CHAPTER 8
Pages 167-179

Julia and Winston go to O’Brien’s house. O’Brien turns off the telescreen and Winston explains that he wanted to join the rebellion against the Party.

O’Brien tells him that Brotherhood exists ask them if they are willing to risk their lives to help stop the Party.

He told Julia to leave first and he discusses with Winston about the copy of Goldstein’s book.

CHAPTER 4
Pages 136-147

Winston and Julia plans to meet again but it was canceled because she got her period so Winston got mad.

He realizes he truly loves her and wishes that they had time to be together without feeling the need to have sex every time.

Winston he suggests that they rent a room above the junk shop and she agrees. Mr. Charrington realizes that Winston wants to make love so there are few furniture planned out for them.

Winston was waiting for Julia to arrive. When she does, she had a bag full of food like real sugar, bread, jam, coffee and tea. She asks Winston to turn around and she puts on make-up. When he saw her wearing make-up, he thought she looked more like a girl and was more attractive to him.

They have sex again.

After that, Julia makes coffee for both and spies a rat. Winston panics because he is scared of rats so she comforts him.

CHAPTER 5
Pages 147-157

Syme disappears so Winston realizes that he has been killed (also known as vaporized). A lot of bombs are falling all over town.

Winston and Julia meets more in June and they continue to have sex in Mr. Charrington’s room upstairs because they know they probably won’t last long if the Party finds out.

They talked about organizing rebellions against the Party but they know it’s not going to happen. Julia believes that the war is fake and it’s only there to keep the people scared. Winston tried to compress onto her that there is no one understands what really is happening and what happened in the past.

Winston and Julia then have sex and they fall asleep on the grass. Winston awakes first and reflects on what he just have done. Then Julia awakes and begins to arrange how they will leave.

In May, they meet at night and different places every night, They always spoke in low voices when they are talking to each other in public and never make eye contact.

One night they were walking just as a bomb falls down. Winston thought she was dead as her face was completely white but, no she wasn't because she kissed him, so yeah.

They later meet up in the square among a crowd. She then tells him to meet him in a place in the country and how to get there and so he does.

CHAPTER 2
Pages 117-126

Julia leads him to a place where there are no microphones and they kiss. She tells him that her name is Julia and only takes parts in all the Party activities for safety. She gives him a piece of chocolate.

Winston was curious on why she liked him and Julia responds saying that just by looking at his face, he knew he was against the Party.

Julia then undresses herself. Winston asks if she has ever done it before, and she says she has many times with the Outer Party members.

Summarizer: Part 1, Chapter 8

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.

Winston thinks about his wife, Katharine. She married him because she wanted to have a child for the Party. She later then left him because they were unable to produce a child.

Winston believed that only the proles have the power to destroy the Party because they make up 85% of the population and the Party doesn’t pay much attention to them.

Winston copies some passages from a history textbook that says how terrible the conditions were before the Revolution. He was curious if the textbook is factual or not. Winston questions why the Party is doing this and he so alone.

That night, Winston dreamt about his family. The person who stock out to him was his mother who disappeared when he was only ten. The loud whistle from the telescreen woke Winston up from his dream and made everyone do morning exercises called The Physical Jerks. As he was doing the Physical Jerks, he was remembering childhood events. Winston was ordered to write an order for Big Brother’s appraisal to a make believe war hero Comrade Ogilvy.

CHAPTER 2
pages 20-28

When Winston wrote "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" in his diary, he realized that he had just committed a 'thoughtcrime' and he knew he will eventually be punished, also known as 'vaporized' (killed). He decides to continue writing, thinking he was already 'dead'.

This Chapter kind of confused me a little bit. What happened to Mrs. Parson son? Why couldn't they go see the hanging of the prisoners from Eurasia?

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.
