I can infer this because the sentence says, "...he had a good pretext for coming...". The second word detective strategy I used was word parts. The prefix pre- means before.

"It had been a rash act to come here at all, and sheer folly to arrive together..," this made me think that the word "folly" likely means "foolish" for the reason that Winston had stated that it was a risky move to go to O'Brien's house at all. In addition, Winston and Julia had taken drastic measures to avoid being seen together on several occasions to avoid being caught, hence I believe that this particular words means "foolish." The second strategy I used was part of speech. The word "folly" is a noun because it is being used to identify an action of Winston and Julia.

This makes me think that folly means outrageous or just a dumb decision in general. Secondly, I used replace the word, and I replaced folly with amateurish, and it may not flow as well as before, but it maintains the meaning of the sentence. So it could mean like an amateur mistake. 2. Dictionary Definition - lack of good sense; foolishness.]]> 2018-03-20 16:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244128022 Wainscoting 168 101398 https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244128065 First I used context clues, "The passage down which he led them was softly carpeted, with cream-papered walls and white wainscoting..." This shows me that Wainscoting is a sort of decoration. Next I used parts of speech. Using the sentence above I was able to see that this word is a noun.

Dwelling might mean where someone lives or hangs out as it talks about seeing inside O'Brien's house. Part of speech- dwelling is a noun as it seems to be a word for where people live. (2): Dictionary definition- Dwelling: a house, apartment, or other place of residence.

The word pretentious has a prefix of pre-before and tentious: causing or involving a controversy or argument. So the word pretentious means previous or before causing an argument. The second strategy I used was context clues, the keyword that help me define the word pretentious were “conscious” and “feeble”, I infer the word means something awareness of causing a problem based on a discussion. Dictionary definition: attempt to impress affecting greater importance.

In the sentence, catechism is being used to describe to a routine. The next strategy I used was part of speech. I know that the word is a noun and it represents an idea. From this, I can infer that the word might mean a way of doing something. Dictionary Definition: a series of fixed questions, answers, or precepts used for instruction in other situations.

The first strategy I used was figuring out the part of speech. I can infer that the word must be a noun since it is formatted in such form: “...walls and white wainscoting, all exquisitely clean”, in which it is describing an object, maybe a wall. The second strategy I used was context clues. For instance, “carpeted”, “creamed-papered walls” and “passageway” which strengthens my claim that the word must be describing a wall.

Dictionary Definition= wooden paneling that lines the lower part of the walls of a room.

The second strategy I used was context clues. " The passage down which he led them was softly carpeted , with cream-papered walls and white wainscoting, all exquisitely clean." This quote makes me think that the word is describing a type of wall. Dictionary definition ; wooden paneling that lines the lower part of the walls of a room.

In the sentence it includes the words “ over and road" also it included travel. Which gave me the idea that the word means or is related to something or someone traveling. The second strategy I used was parts of speech. I believe it is a verb because its describing the action of something or someone moving forward.

The line that contains the word is, "Then he pulled the speakwrite toward him and rapped out a message in the hybrid jargon of the Ministries". After this line, the passage that contains the crazy language of speakwrite was given to the readers. In order to understand what this word might mean, I will replace the word jargon with a word that I believe might be a synonym. "...rapped out a message in the hybrid [words] of the Ministry". 2. The definition of the word jargon is, "special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult for others to understand".]]> 2018-03-20 16:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244129219 Decanter (170) 10009972 https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244130095 The first strategy I used was part of speech to determine that decanter was a noun because it was something that was on the tray. The next strategy I used was context clues. Winston said that the tray consisted of "a decanter and glasses" (170). This leads me to believe that a decanter might be a container that contains a liquid that you pour into smaller glasses.
Dictionary Definition: a stoppered glass container into which wine is decanted]]> 2018-03-20 16:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244130095 Feeble (170) 1500991 https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244131221 The first strategy I used was context clues, in the story it says"He went on, conscious that what he was saying must be both feeble and pretentious". In this sentence I see the words conscious and pretentious. These words help me understand the definition of feeble by giving me a hint that feeble has something to do with the mind. The next strategy I used was to replace the word with a different word. I plugged in the word misery to see if it might make sense. The word almost makes sense, and I think the word feeble has something to do with how the mind reacts. The definition of this word is:lacking physical strength, especially as a result of age or illness.]]> 2018-03-20 16:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244131221 Jargon (page 168) 1012291 https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244132119 The first word strategy I used was context clues,"Then he pulled the speak write toward him and rapped out a message in the hybrid jargon of the Ministries.",in this sentence they first started to state about the language whenever it talked about speakwrite and then it said the message was going to be rapped in the hybrid jargon,so i'm thinking it could mean like a type of way that it is spoken.The second word strategy I used was replace the word strategy "Then he pulled the speak write toward him and rapped out a message in the hybrid language of the Ministries.",I think that some word around language would fit into the sentence.

This makes me think flitted means just closed or shut, because it says it came down over his eyes. Secondly, I used replace the word and I replaced flitted with closed and it still sounds smooth and for the most part maintains the meaning of the original text, so it most likely means closed or shut. 2.

I believe demur is a verb because its describing the action of the servant. The second strategy I used was context clues. These words ¨demand his papers, and order him to get out...¨the ¨servant had admitted the two of them
without demur.¨ This helps me understand that demur might have to mean doubt.

Demur might mean problem or issue as he invites them in without issue.

" O'Brien took the decanter by the neck and filled up the glasses with a dark-red liquid." This quote makes me think that a decanter is a type of drinking glass.

In the sentence, the word disseminate is being used to explain what will happen to these diseases. The next strategy I used was part of speech. I know that the word is a verb which means that disseminate could mean to distribute or disperse. Dictionary Definition: spread or disperse (something, especially information) widely.

The first strategy I used was context clues. For instance, “glasses” and “glass by the stem” reveals that it must be a glass cup. Not only this, acknowledging the context clues, I was able to conclude that it is a noun since it is being described as an object, a cup.

The next strategy I used was context clues. The sentence containing the word is talking about all of the things that they are prepared to do to weaken the Party, which gives the word a negative connotation. I also know that the sentence fragment mentions prostitution and then mentions "venereal diseases" (172). This leads me to believe that disseminate might mean to spread.

"He went on, conscious that what he was saying must sound both feeble and pretentious:". In this line, we can understand that the author is trying to describe the way he is speaking. The second thing I did in order to figure out what this word might mean was through my background knowledge of the word feeble. I know the word feeble means to be weak in some way and because the author is saying that he must sound weak and something else indicates that the word pretentious might mean the opposite. 2. The word pretentious means, "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed".]]> 2018-03-20 16:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244135607 translucency (179 101372 https://padlet.com/vros_murillo/1984c8910/wish/244135922 (1): Context clues- In the sentence, " His body seemed to have not only the weakness of a jelly, but its translucency." translucency might mean the way something looks as he talks about feeling like jelly so he might be talking about looking like it also.

This makes me believe that luridly means like brightly lit up, or full of light, because the word after, floodlit sounds like it is "flooded" with light. Secondly, I used background knowledge, and I know that luminous means lots of light coming off of something and this word has the same prefix "lu" so it could mean lots of light in one place. 2.

Hence, I believe that the word “stratagem” means “plan.” The second strategy I used was part of speech. The word “stratagem” is a noun because it is being used to name one of O’Brien’s capabilities.

"All the blood and lymph has been drained out of him by an enormous debauch of work, leaving only a frail structure of nerves, bones, and skin". In this line, the reader understands how tired or worn out Winston is feeling.

The first strategy I used was background knowledge. For some reason the word gyroscope reminds me of a compass. For instance, its root “gyro” means rotating spit, and “scope” means see. So this is why it reminds me of a compass, an instrument containing a magnetized pointer that shows the direction of magnetic north and bearings from it. Acknowledging this, and using context clues such as “equilibrium” and “pushed one way or the other”. It helped me enforce my first thought that the word has to relate or similar to a compass.

The orientation of the axis is not affected by tilting of the mounting; so gyroscopes can be used to provide stability or maintain a reference direction in navigation systems, automatic pilots, and stabilizers.
