to smart

I do think that victor went to far in his guest for knowledge because he started to play god and when you play god bad things happen to people and you. What victor did was to make like but what he should have done was to learn how to make life last longer because if he had done that then the monster would not have been created and then two people would not have died and his family would be much happier. Victor was wrong in every thing that he did because he was not ethical and because of that bad thing have come up and he has been playing god. Victor has become to smart for his own good so now the world is worse of then it was before even thought victor that that he was doing the world good. People can become to smart when they start to play god because we are not meant to play god and when we do bad things happen to people and the world most of the time but there can be some good thing that can come from it but they will be out wade by the bad thing.

Robert walton meets the stranger

The two men that we meet in the letters are vary similar and vary different. Robert is starting his quest to find the North Pole and is still on the high of being on the brink of the map. The stranger on the other hand is in a vary different state he has no been trying to find and do something for some time and has not yet completed the task. The stranger has been beaten up by the task and has pushed him to become something and do things that he never wanted to do in many ways it has made the stranger mad. Though there is this difference in where they are at in their quest to make new discoveries and advance the world (though the stranger feels that he has now done something bad) they are vary similar in that they are both men of science and are on quests but they also have been with out a friend for a long time and are craving that human contact that comes with a friend. They are both similar in that they have also had to work hard and to but every thing that they have on hold in order to do their task and to go on there quest. The men are not that different but they are at different points in their quest.

Winston gets tortured

When Winston is getting tortured you get to see some parts of Winston that we have not seen before. It is because he has changed. When you get tortured you will never be the same. It is just impossible to think the same and act the same. What they are doing to Winston is bending and stretching his back until it will almost snap. They are also using electroshock to kill is brain which will make him stop thinking things. This type of tortured does not leave any physical trail so no one will every be able to tell that Winston has been tortured it also changes you is such a way that you will do any thing but because of what they are doing you will only do what is true. This is because they can tell when you lie and to lie would be worse. What they do is find your fear and use that to get all the information that they need and then they use it to make you love the party before they do what they where going to do all along and that is to kill you.

the book

The thought that Goldstein talks about in the book are in many ways the truth behind the party slogans. It goes through and explains why the party does what it does but does not tell you why because there is no why, but to stay in power and to control people. In the book it talk about the need to stop the party but gives no way of how to do so because there is no way to stop the party. Also this shows that there is no hope for the prole because they are to be left in the dark and to be kept down except for when the party wants them to raise up. Also I do not remember if it here or if it is latter but they talk about how the upper class will always be in power because having iner-party parents does not mean that you will be in the iner-party this means that there is always a new group that is in power but it is also the same group. This means that there is no way to take down the party because the party is all ways new and is always working to stay in power.

a dream

Winston has had many dreams in the book that turn out to mean a lot to Winston. But the dream that he has in this part of the book is of something that has already happened. His dream is of his mother and sister and is about the last time he saw them. It takes place at the home when he was a child. They had gotten some chocolate and Winston wanted to have more then his ration of it so his mother gives him her part of the chocolate but that does not satisfy him so he steals his sister’s part of the chocolate. It is what Winston’s mother does that Orwell wants you to see and get. Winston’s mother takes the baby and hugs it and gives it some love because even though the chocolate is gone and there is nothing left you still will give love. This is the only case of actual love that Winston has ever seen and it was also the last time he saw either of them. He realizes what he did and feels bad about it because he feels that it was him that killed them and that he would like to go back and make things different. This is also may be why he loves Julia to make up for what he lost hen they took his mother and it may also be a way to fight the party to make up for what he did to his family.

no one wins but the party

Winston knows that no one fights the party and wins. And that sooner and latter every one gets caught and is ether killed or made to love the party. To fight the party is a lost cause because the party is everywhere in your life even when you think that you might be free. To Winston it is not a madder of if they will get caught but of when they will get caught. Then next question for Winston is of when they do get caught what will the party do to them. To both of them they do not want to be apart and they say they will stay faithful in their love to one another when they are found but they know the party changes every one and will make you do anything. So to them it is to enjoy the time that they have before they are fond and at that point they may never see each other again. It is a fight that they have to take because if they do not then they will be caught all the same for face crime of something like it so if you are going to get caught why not fight.

the different people

The one thing that makes Winston and Julia have different worldviews is there age. For Winston who is older he can remember a time before the party and has seen the party fully develop. To him the party lies are more evident also he sees problems and lies even if they have no affect on himself. Julia on the other hand has not seen life with out the party so she sees things a little differently then Winston. To her the party has always been there and will always be there because nothing that you do will hurt the party because all that they will do is kill you. Also Julia does have any feeling for the lies that affect other people but not her. To her what is will always be but to Winston things can and need to change. This is the fundamental difference that will come between there want to bring down the party later in the book.
