Syme expresses his pride and love for revolutionizing Oceania's official language and reducing its vocabulary. Syme tells Winston the ways in which newspeak is changing and how oldspeak will soon become obsolete.

What does this reveal about the party?

This scene reveals that the party is trying to secure control of the population through limiting their knowledge and tools of communication.

How does Winston feels/worry about/what he yearns for?

Winston feels a dislike for newspeak. He worries about the repercussions of reduced speech and the potential vaporization of Syme. Winston yearns to maintain his use of oldspeak and wants to rebel against newspeak but is demoralized by how powerful and influential Big Brother is.]]> 2019-05-02 20:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356396464 1538874 https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397262 Summary: Winston goes for a walk through the prole district, and envies the simple lives of the common people. He enters a pub where he sees an old man—a possible link to the past. He talks to the old man and tries to ascertain whether, in the days before the Party, people were really exploited by bloated capitalists, as the Party records claim. The old man’s memory is too vague to provide an answer. Winston laments that the past has been left to the proles, who will inevitably forget it.

Lacking a reliable official record, Winston does not know what to think about the past. The Party’s claims that it has increased the literacy rate, reduced the infant mortality rate, and given everyone better food and shelter could all be fantasy. Winston suspects that these claims are untrue, but he has no way to know for sure, since history has been written entirely by the Party.

What does this reveal about the party?Thinking about the Party’s control of every record of the truth, Winston realizes that the Party requires its members to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears. He believes that true freedom lies in the ability to interpret reality as one perceives it, to be able to say “2 + 2 = 4.”
How does Winston feels/worry about/what he yearns for?
The idea of right versus wrong, in terms of the events of history and common knowledge, is important in Chapter 7, as it is throughout the entire novel. Winston is sure that freedom is the freedom to think that what is right is right — that "two plus two makes four."]]> 2019-05-02 20:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397285 1538874 https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397602 2019-05-02 20:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397602 1538874 https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397632 2019-05-02 20:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397632 1538874 https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397685 2019-05-02 20:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397685 1538874 https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397910 2019-05-02 20:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356397910 1201398 https://padlet.com/1538874/1pqmed3dee1k/wish/356398941 summary:
