Book 2 Chapter 1: The desire

       In this chapter Winston believes at first that the dark haired girl is a spy until she gives him a paper or a note saying that she loves him. From that moment forward he began questioning himself about whether she was a spy or she was actually interested in him. After a couple days they are able to sit at a table together and make plans to meet. They struggle some to meed due to the telescreens in which they hid from. They were only able to hold hands but planned to see each other in a different place. Even though what they were  doing what against the law and several would consider impossible it is all a matter of desire. When you want or desire something no matter what people categorize it whether is easy, hard, possible or impossible it is just a matter how much you actually desire it. The more you desire the more you will be willing to put at stake to accomplish it. Anything and everything is possible it is just a matter of one self and how much you are willing to risk and push to accomplish. Everyone tends to give up or not even try certain things due to lack of desire not because they are actually impossible. the only reason that people tend to not try is because of their lack in confidence; lack of knowledge scares people into giving up before even starting something. A good example of this is Winston with the dark haired girl. Winston did not know whether the dark haired girl was a spy or not making him uncertain on how to respond and act in front of her. When he finally found out what she felt and that she was not a spy, he immediately felt a powerful desire to live as he was lost without purpose of living. Their desire for each other led them to go against the law and plan to see each other and spend time together. They knew that their love was something "impossible" due to the law, but that did not mean that they had to give up. They did the complete opposite, they tried planning to meet not quitting, because they were willing to risk all for their love. The latter shows that nothing is really impossible it is just a matter of how much you willing to risk for what you desire. As Barack Obama said "The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." Keep pushing and if you desire something at a great level you will accomplish it no matter how hard or impossible it is.
