It foreshadows his coming affection towards her and their relationship. She is a symbol of hope for Winston.

2. "Her body seemed to be pouring some of it's youth and vigor into his" (Act II, Page 113)
Winston being with Julia has transformed him. He is in a way younger, it's stated before that Julia gave Winston hope. He's energized again and full of life, contrary to before where he hated society, still does, but now he's alive again and it shows in body.

3. "He wondered vaguely whether in the abolished it had been a normal experience to lie in bed like this, in the cool of a summer evening, a man and a women with no clothes on..." (Act II, Page 119)
This quote is interesting as Winston wonders if a common act such as laying in bed with one's partner was a normal in the past. It's a way to show how bad things have gotten in society where on can't do certain things.

4. "From whatever angle you looked at the poster, the muzzle of the gun, magnified by the foreshortening, seemed to be pointed straight at you." (Act II, Page 123)
Even though it may not be mentioned, the muzzle of the gun a reference back to big brother. The eyes of big brother are said to always follow one around no matter where they walk. The muzzle of the gun does the same thing. It's a reference towards Big Brother watching everyone and the gun could be a way saying no one is safe from him.

5. "You did well to tell me" O'Brien said "It is necessary for us to know everything" (Act II, Page 143)
Before this O'Brien asked Winston and Julia if they were prepare to be separated, they said no. O'Brien then says the quote. He later betrays Winston and Julia and this foreshadows it. "Us" refers to the Inner Party and Thought Police. The quote is part of the beginning of the end for Winston's and Julia's ways of defying the government.]]> 2017-01-04 03:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hlburkholder100/3g56jhcq6ik7/wish/145194246 hlburkholder100 https://padlet.com/hlburkholder100/3g56jhcq6ik7/wish/145629976 1. "In general you could not assume that you were much safer in the country than in London. There were no telescreens, of course, but there was always the danger of concealed microphones by which your voice might be picked up and recognized; besides, it was not easy to make a journey by yourself without attracting attention." (Book II, Page 98)
This quote draws attention to a great detail within this book and that is control that the party has not only of the human mind but the control it has of all of Oceania. There is fear and a true invasion of privacy no matter where you whether there is technology as an actual representation or just simply a microphone picking up your every word. One of the great themes that resonates within this book is the idea of control. From large actions of disloyalty to the smallest movements that point towards potential disobedience the citizens are being watched. Through this control the Party is given the power to manipulate reality as well stated by Winston when he mentions the idea that the Party themselves can convince the citizens that 2+2=5.
2. "Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished?... Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right...The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories." (Book II, Page 128)
Within this passage Winston displays the idea that the Party has eliminated the idea of past and future and has only created an ongoing present time. He sees the Party's abilities to control time and circumstances beyond his control and to so much as control the human mind and what it remembers. However, he sees this as not being human that without control of your own mind you are no longer a human but rather a being controlled by another. He believes in the idea that in order to challenge and overcome the party he must be able to overcome his mind and have control of not only memories, but in a way time itself. Ignoring the ideals of the Party and the rationale it creates towards dumbing down the human mind and creating a narrow path for escape, Winston hopes to challenge the very way of life in Oceania and all authority that runs the place. The power of control lies in his hands, it is just a matter of whether or not he is willing to take to the risk to take back the control.

1. " "You are the dead," repeated the iron voice. "It was behind the picture," breathed Julia. "It was behind the picture," said the voice. "Remain exactly where you are. Make no movement until you are ordered." It was starting, it was starting at last! They could do nothing except stand gazing into one another's eyes […] unthinkable to disobey the iron voice from the wall. There was a snap as though a catch had been turned back, and a crash of breaking glass. The picture had fallen to the floor uncovering the telescreen behind it." (Part II, 182)
Winston and Julia are in their refuge room above Mr. Charrington's antique store.  They got caught. At this moment they had both discovered that there was a telescreen and microphone behind the St. Clements picture that hung on the wall. At this point they knew that that it was impossible for the to escape from the Party. The only thing they could do was gaze into each other's eyes, one last moment of love before they were take to the Ministry of Love. This would be the end of their love story as it is foreshadowed through the shattering of the glass paper weight, a symbol of the past, a time period in which everyone had freedom. This is an important part of the story because it goes to show that "Big Brother" is indeed watching each movement. One could have predicted that this act of rebellion against the Party would have come to and end at some point given that throughout the first part of the book, "Big Brother" and the Party are said to hear and see everything you do.

2. "You're only a rebel from the waist downwards." (Part II, 129)
Winston tells Julia that her only motive to rebel against the Party if for her pleasure from the "waist downwards." Although they are in love, by Winston stating this, one could see the different motives for rebelling against the Party. Julia is rebelling against the Party for self pleasure, only caring about her self. On the other hand, Winston is determined to rebel against the Party in order to gain more freedom. Moreover, he thinks the Party is controlling everyone's lives to gain even more power. (Julia is rebelling for self interest and Winston is rebelling to change the structure of the Party's power). This matters because, perhaps their differing motives in relation to their rebellion against the Party is another reason they betray each other, while at the Ministry of Love near the end of the book. ]]> 2017-01-06 21:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hlburkholder100/3g56jhcq6ik7/wish/145790822 jncuviello100 https://padlet.com/hlburkholder100/3g56jhcq6ik7/wish/145801602 1. "But she only questioned the teachings of the Party when they in some way touched upon her own life. (Part II, pg. 127)"
In the quote the narrator is detailing Julia's form of passive rebellion which contrasts with Winston's push for active nonconformity. A large reason as to why Winston has feelings for Julia is for her sentiments towards the party. This quote is particularly interesting because it reflects the two primary ideologies present in today's society in regards to controversial issues. Many people take a more passive approach to activism and don't touch any issues that don't affect them directly whereas others insist that action is the method for change to occur. The quote emphasizes the divide among society today  and a major cause of discord among people of similar beliefs. Orwell included this divide to represent the effect of such a government on different societal perspectives towards each other rather than simply on an individual.

2. "I can't remember how it goes on after that. But anyway I remember how it ends up, Here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head! (Part II, pg. 121)"
Winston's failure to recollect a large portion of the English nursery rhyme represents the degradation of tradition within this society. There is nothing sacred to the people of Oceania; all that matters is the current state of the government and if the past corresponds with their current ideology. In a world so fixated around exercising government control and obeying their rule, intelligence and tradition can't exist because they invoke free thought. Orwell predicted the effect of prolonged censorship among a given society which can once again be applied to modern events.]]> 2017-01-07 05:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hlburkholder100/3g56jhcq6ik7/wish/145801602
