Book 1 Chapter 3: Reality
Part of this chapter has to do with Winston and his dreams. One of his dreams had to do with a memory of his family. Winston dreams that his mothers dies about twenty years back in a political purge by sinking in a boat. He feels responsible for the disappearance of his mother in a way. In some way that has to do with guilt. Even though he is unsure of what really happened in a way if that is what happened guilt makes someone repeat the mistakes they have done in their own head. Guilt is something so strong that it can tear you down and eat you up. The second dream had to do with a woman whom cause the annihilation of a whole party. This shows that a singular persons actions can and most likely will impact others; no matter how small something done wrong it will always impact others as well. This relates to the second part of the third chapter which has to do with government. As a result of several individuals actions all of society has to pay a price. The government seeks to have control, every government does. In the second part of the chapter as Winston thinks of of countries relationships he comes across the idea of how the records have been changed by the government. He places an example of how records show that stories of Big Brother began in the 1930s but reality is that nobody had heard of the party leader Big Brother before the 1960s. This is a big issues and despite the little knowledge most of society has it is true that the government bends the information that comes out for the public society to know. The government desires power and for them to be able to maintain the power they need to assure that the information that goes out to public society wont cause issues. A prime example of this in todays society is that of scientists. Scientist have to submit their research before publishing it to the government for approval for the publishing. It is claimed that the reason in which scientist have to submit their work to the government is to assure it is correct. Reality is that the government needs to assure that what goes out for public society does not ruin their reputation and cause issues that the government wont be able to resolve in the future. Society is blinded and are raised in accordance to what the government wants it to believe. The reality is hidden and children are raised to believe a lie and are blinded to the reality. In the end society is merely puppets in which the government controls, do not allow the government to blind you.

I like the comparisons you made in this. I completely agree. Phenomenal work. Kids these days are raised in lies and the government controls it all
