Book 1 Chapter 2: The hiding

              In chapter two Winston hears a sudden knock on the door. He becomes anxious because of his writings in the "diary" and opens the door fearfully thinking it was the Thought Police. This brings to mind how humanity is. Every person has a moment when they do something knowing it is wrong and shouldn't be done. As time passes society tends to do worst and worst. Children learn from what they see on a daily basis and when elders do what is wrong specially in from of children they tend to do so when they are older. The latter also relates back to chapter two when Mrs.Parsons kids follow societies obstruct ideas of what makes the world a better place. The government in the book has a monthly public hanging in which the Mrs.Parsons was unable to take the kids making the kids agitated. Every single person has something that they hide from society. As evidence a great example consist in social media; everyone has some sort of social media account. In their social media account they publish personal event  and more for the public to know, but yet there are still passwords to hide what is not put out for the rest of society. As Gleen Greenwald (in a ted talk) said in a to those who believed society should not have a problem with being supervised, "send me your passwords to all your emails, social media and etc. for met to see what you have." Not a single person followed up and sent the email with the latter information. What does that have to prove? Every person has something in which they do not want other to find out. Winston felt the same way, he did not want the Thought Police to fine his "diary". He took precaution to assure if anyone opened it by putting some dust in a corner to know if anyone opened the "diary", similar to society. Every person takes precaution when they hide something to assure that it is not discovered or not attainable by anybody else. Winston knew he was a deadman the moment he wrote of his ideas as clearly stated in the end of the chapter. The reason in which Winston feared was because of the way in which the government acted as a consequence of such actions; he feared he would be considered a political enemy. For those who believe that the government should be allowed to supervise society let me ask you the following. Do you have anything to hide? Are you sure that nothing of what you have will bring you negative consequences? If you truly believe so and your answers are yes, then you are willing to render all to be a puppet of the government.
