1984- hmmmmmm interesting!

I was really into the book until the long boring part (you all know what part I am talking about) started, the part with Winston reading the brotherhood book. But, after suffering through that part, the book is really starting to liven up again! I found Ross's comment in class really interesting when he questioned weather the brotherhood was a real group, or if it was made up by the Party to catch people for thought crimes. I did not think about this while I was reading before today, but now as I read on, I realize that maybe this is a possibility! I have to admit though, in the end of the book, if we find out that the brotherhood is controlled by the Party, I will be very upset! The brotherhood was Winston's only hope! I'm still hoping that the book will have a happy ending, but I doubt that this will be the case!

Ahhh...the weekly blog....

I'm a lover of mysteries. I've read multiple Sherlock Holmes books and they just facinate me. So, obviously, in those kind of books there are clues and foreshadows that are put together like a puzzle. This is what I immediately thought of when I started to put details and happenings together in 1984.
Part of the reason I love the quote circles we do as a class is the amount of connections (theres that word again) that are made from just one quote or question! It seems to me that the deeper we go into conversation about one topic the more it branches out and becomes a complicated string of clues, all springing from one source.
When looked at from an un-annalytical view point, small things may not seem of importance, that they're just adding to the plot and realistic value of a story line. For me, in 1984, its almost as if nothing can be overlooked and just regarded as an extra detail. From the way the first two books have gone, I hope the third gatheres everything we've learned about Oceania, Winston, Julia, and the Party and weaves it all together into an amazing puzzle of an ending!
