Today, we talked about the reading between pages 198-232. We took a look at how Winston's worldview differs from O'Brien's and questioned which Orwell wants us to think is more likely. We also questioned whether Winston's beliefs about the inherently good, equality-seeking, freedom-loving nature of people is manufactured or hardwired into him by O'Brien.
Wow. Deep stuff.
Take a look at the class notes. All three sections did a great job today, but were different in nature, so it is worth it to see all three sections' worth of notes.
For Next Time:
1. Bring your sentence diagramming workbook for the last lesson.
2. Finish the novel.
