He has an ulcer above his right ankle, wears blue overalls which is a symbol for the Party, and looks skinny and frail. His hair is somewhat fair.]]> 2017-08-20 20:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/181772154 keving836 https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182220838 Winston works for the government in the Ministry of Truth, but even though he works for the government he is rebellious and expresses this through his actions. He writes down what he feels in a journal, but by doing this he is already against the government because keeping one is considered an illegal act. ]]> 2017-08-23 00:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182220838 keving836 https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182220992 Winston is limited in his speech as there are telescreens and hidden microphones in most parts. He is very careful in what he says because if he says something that is against the government, then the Thought Police, who is in charge of capturing people who express ideas against the Party, will come and get him. The only time he spoke freely is when the telescreen was turned off when he was speaking to O'Brien.]]> 2017-08-23 00:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182220992 keving836 https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182221014 Winston writes down what he thinks in his journal. This is the only place in which he is able to express his true thoughts. He tells Julia, his lover, what he thinks about her and what he thinks about the Party. He expresses his thoughts also to O'Brien, a man a part of the Inner Party who Winston thinks is a rebel also. This proves to be a big mistake as O'Brien is loyal to the Party and tortures Winston.]]> 2017-08-23 00:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182221014 keving836 https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182226641 Winston Smith was a dynamic character from the beginning of the novel until the end of it. He starts off following his party, but he had his suspicions. He states that he hates this specific girl, but then he loves her. Then all of a sudden he decides to be a rebel and go against his party. Towards the end he changes again because he gets brainwashed into loving the Party.]]> 2017-08-23 01:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182226641 keving836 https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182634597 "Who controls the past controls the future.

He is able to produce his own thoughts and wonders what the past might have been like. He helps develop the theme that totalitarianism can never be good. Winston gets the feeling that there is a chance of rebellion if everyone unites. The overall message was to use unity to take down whats bad.]]> 2017-08-24 17:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182640960 keving836 https://padlet.com/keving836/y5xyjuzaupqk/wish/182952173

If he were to be murdered by the party, he would be taken off the record books, and nothing would really change.
