1984 Part 3 - Chapter 1

You can never be too sure who is on your side and who isn't, Winston learns this the hard way. After already finding out Mr.Charrington was secretly working for the thought police, he sees O'Brien in prison who also turns out to be a secret member.

George Orwell uses foreshadowing when Winston says he knows he will be eventually caught by the thought police, its just a matter of time before they find him. His love and affection for Julia has made him careless. At first, Winston would rebel by writing down his thoughts in a journal. As he fell more in love with Julia he spent less attention to detail to avoid suspicion from the thought police.

Winston's passion is ironically his poison. His rebellions which caused him to feeling great feelings hes never felt before now leave him in a cell waiting to be tortured as he starves to death. The person(O'Brien) who Winston believed to be a member of the brotherhood and had similar desires to be anti-party was actually on the opposite side fighting to catch political criminals.

(+) Nice introduction which captures the reader's attention in the first few lines.
(+) Good acknowledgement of the foreshadowing in Chapter 1. of Part 3. This shows you pay attention to detail.
(-) The name of Winston's lover is "Julia" not "JULIET."
(-) The ending needs more of a conclusion to tie up all the loose ends of your post.

The Good:
-Introduction is very strong and attention grabbing.
-Good analysis of Winston's personality change after he meets Julia.
-"Winstons passion is ironically his poison"
Awesome!

The Bad:
-Your introductions for the most part are really good, yet you tend to fall short with the conclusions.

Your post has a very good introduction, but then in your body paragraphs you write about something else. You make some interesting points about Winston's character and how it changed after meeting Julia. You might want to check your spelling and grammar. Your introductory sentence should actually be split. Overall, this is a good start.

I like how you said, "Winston's passion is ironically his passion". I think that would have been a good attention getter.. The current one isn't as strong as it could be.

The writing is good, but together they aren't as cohesive and focused as they could be. I feel like you're talking about different things in your intro compared to your body. However, I do like how you tried to tie your conclusion back to your introduction.
