Winston' heart raced as he began to feel ill, his stomach turned and his face burned a hot red. He sat there hopelessly as the man he once believed to be a friend torture him. O’Brien tells Winston that he is there to be cured of his mental illness. O'Brien wont stopping torturing until they have "broke him". There is no escape, when the Party is done with him he wont be a full human anymore. The justice system in 1984 has a terrible rehibilitation system for its prisoners.
In real life when you've been put into a rehilbilitation program the goal of that program is one day you will be able to come out of it and fit into society. In the world of 1984, rehilbition methods are forms of torture to munipulate you into buying into the Partys beliefs. The outcome of this method isn't a person ready to be put back into society. The person is instead broken down until they become what they are tortured into being. This shows the Party's lack of concern for its peoples, its more worried about repressing the citizens to benifit those on top of administration.
The methods used on prisioners in 1984 are similar to many dictatorships. The methods are cruel and inhumane, neither ways a governement should govern. Winston is left in a brainwashed state, he asks questions about Julia and the brotherhood but is mocked by O'Brien whose answers give Winston no hope.
After being traumatized from the torture, Winston will never be the same. He is no longer Winston, he is who the Party tells him and he only knows what he is told. The Party has to question its methods because they leave prisoners in a worse state than before and its doing nothing to benifit society.

This post is much better than your previous post. Your introduction is much better and much better done in getting the readers attention. Your body has improved from the other post, your supporting ideas could be a little bit better but overall much better effort put in this post compared to the last few.
This post is very well written. You have a captivating introduction and your conclusion summarizes well. You connect your ideas to our world which helps to strengthen your ideas. The biggest impediment is your spelling. You spell a few words incorrectly.
Right from the start, you draw your readers in. :) I really like how you've compared 1984 to our own world; it shows insight and analysis which is definitley good. Also, I like how you've developed your ideas.
However, the use of a spell-checker will definitley make a positive difference in your writing. You've a few distracting spelling mistakes that could be improved. Also, I'd like it if you explained what you meant by "he wont be a full human anymore." ... that could potentially be expanded/clarified. But overall, this is pretty good.
this post is very well done. your support for your ideas is good and the length and content really helps your ideas come across
