In Part 2, Chapter 9, it says the super-states have been at war for 25 years. The three things that make this war different from others in the past are that it was hard to conquer all three states, it was fought for selfish power, and they were unable to defeat anyone. There are not a lot of casualties in this war.
10 reasons on why human beings have fought wars are because of  religion, the need for economic gain, territorial gain, revenge, government disagreements, product or food distribution, want for power, want for independence, possessiveness, and dictatorship. - Sage M.

The super-states have been at war for twenty-five years. Three things that make this war different from others in the past are that none of the three states could be conquered, there was really nothing to fight about, and it wasn't a war for economic purposes but a war for labor power. The fight takes place where "the average man can only guess" or around the Floating Fortresses that "guard strategic spots on the sea lanes." (p146) There are few casualties.
10 legitimate reasons for war:
1- The governments do not agree.
2- They want more land.
3- They want independence
4- Religious freedom
5- Greed
6- Nationalism
7- Oppression of people
8- Economic power
9- Building military
10-Security

Since the aim of the Inner Party is to maintain the control they have over their country and of the inequality that they've enforced upon it, Dejah's response is one I agree with completely in terms of the answer to this question. After that specific quote, the book goes on to say that if every person was given the proper resources which they would need to live a comfortable, peaceful, and equal life, that the most prevalent form of inequality would cease to be present. This relates heavily to the aim of the Inner Party because it's something they'd fight strongly against and work to prevent, this would allow people to no longer be in such poverty and in miserable situations that so many are seen in throughout the book, it'd defeat and bring an end to the power and control they have held so strongly above regular people's heads. If only the Inner Party and higher-ups have the wealth to distribute and essentially take from the common people, it's so much simpler to make sure that they stay at the top with no threats of being overthrown.

Nathan and Rukmani have passed down many things to their children. They have passed down friends, love, and the most important thing is their love for the land in Nectar in a Sieve. This land is what brought Nathan and Rukmani together, without it I dont think they would be the same power couple they are now. Even though their sons aren't very interested in the land, they still taught them their ways of living off of the land. L.H

The paperweight was broken and smashed by thought crime officers and Mr. Charrington after they'd surrounded the room in which Winston and Julia were both in. The paperweight had symbolized a new hope along with dreams that hadn't been present before for Winston and Julia, and I believe that the shattering of that was meant to symbolize the end that all of those dreams and hopes were coming to after being caught. - Lydia H.

Raja was sneaking into the Tannery so he could steal calfskin, and I agree with my partner that he would have most likely sold it for money. The Watchmen of the Tannery saw him stealing and killed him. The watchmen was protecting his property from a thief. I also agree with my partner when she says that Raja's death was not the Tannery's fault because it was not. Raja should not have been stealing and committing a crime. L.H

Chapter 9 of Part 2 discusses war and all the tragedies and reasons for it in the first place. It states that the war between three superstates has been ongoing for 25 years total and specifically says, "It is a warfare of limited aims between combatants who are unable to destroy one another, have no material cause for fighting, and are not divided by any genuine idealogical difference." (176). This is what makes the war between the three super-states different from others in the past, yet there are still many similarities between every war. The war doesn't cause a high amount of casualties comparatively, and doesn't involve an incredibly large number of people. It's even said that the fighting in the war takes place on "vague frontiers" (176) that the average civilian has only a guess at where those vague frontier is at, or on the "Floating Fortresses which guard strategic spots on the sea lanes" (176). There are a number of reasons why humans have fought wars, and I believe that some of these reasons are: 1. To gain territory by waging wars in order to win that land. 2. The desire for gain economically in the form of both wealth and resources. 3. Religion/differences of beliefs on religious matters. 4. war caused by attempting to enforce punishment on another power/country out of revenge. 5. One country or powers perceiving threat and choosing to begin attacking first in the name of defense. 6. The lack of willingness to compromise or negotiate between powers which would then lead to battles. 7. A power breaking or going against a previously made contract/agreement/ally which allows for a war to spark by either side whether it's out of anger for a power breaking an agreement/commitment, or out of perceived unfairness from the power that went against it. 8. Perceived injustice and inequality causing a conflict in an attempt to change whatever people have deemed as unfair/immoral (slavery, racism, immoral punishments, etc.). 9. Unhealthy amounts of nationalism that causes a war that's meant to prove a country's power/control/superiority. 10. Rebellion against a group due to drastic changes in ruling, mistreatment, or discontent for the current state of their society.

In Chapter 8 of Part 2, Mr. O'Brien questions what Julia and Winston would be willing to do for in order to go against the Party. They both state they are willing to do the following, "commit acts of sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of innocent people" and, "commit suicide, if and when we order you to do so" (163). However, the last question O'Brien asks is whether or not they are both willing to separate and never see one another again, which Julia quickly says no to. She's unwilling to go without seeing Winston for the rest of her life and be apart from him, which Winston shortly after says no to as well.

In chapter 9 of part 2, It is said that the super-states have been at war for 25 years. Three things that make the war different is that they cannot really cause destruction to the other,  they have no reason to be fighting against each other, and it does not have any logical basis. The average person does not know  where it takes place and their are not many casualties.
Ten reasons I think human beings have engaged in war is: 1) The desire for power 2) having different political views 3) having different religious views 4) wanting to expand their territory 5) the need/hunger to be in control of all things 6) Wanting more resources like food and money 7) Betrayal(Ex. shady dealings with other people) 8) the mistreatment of other people (racism, slavery, holocaust, etc) 9) different moral beliefs  and 10) simply wanting different things for humanity.

This quote comes from chapter 9 of part 2 . The main goals of the Inner Party is to have complete control, to destroy individualism, and put an end to freethinking. This quote relates to the aim of the Inner Party because an increase of wealth all around would put an end to inequality, which negatively impacts the Party's goal of complete control. This is because if everybody had an equal and fulfilling life , they would not stand for the lies of the party and would rebel, so by not making everyone equal, it solidifies their dominance.

I believe in chapter 8 of part 2 of the novel, Julia and Winston are in the rented room and are having a conversation. The two things that they say they will do for the party is die and kill.
In the same conversation, Julia tells Winston that she is not willing to be apart from/ leave him.

When Siddhartha says "No teacher could have brought him salvation" he means that their teachings are  a waste of his time. He wants to go out into the world and learn from himself and everything around him.

Siddhartha's river is a sign of change, renewal, and rebirth. He uses the river to start a new life and try to forget everything that happened in his past, hoping all the bad things he did and thought were just dreams.

Vasudeva says that Siddhartha will learn to listen,  "that it is good to strive downwards, to sink, to seek depth"(95), "that there is no time'(96), "all voices of the creatures are in its voice"(98), the river will enlighten him.

Siddhartha feels like the bird, trapped in a cage, unable to escape. When he dreams about the bird dying, it makes him feel like that is the only way for the bird to escape the cage, just like that's the only way for Siddhartha to escape the life that he hates. Later on he is contemplating killing himself in the river, but he realizes that he just needs to forget the past and start a new life to be free.

At end of part 2, Julia and Winston are caught by the thought crime police officers and Mr. Charrington  in the rented room. As the officers bombard the room, one of them smashes the paperweight. This is symbolic to Julia and Winston because I believe it represents their fate, which is death. The paperweight was a symbol of hope and the past for Winston and Julia which could also mean that the breaking of the paperweight represented the end of their rebellion and hope.
