Main message in 1984

I think the main message in 1984 is a warning of what we as people and society can become. It shows how society could take over. That it influences is and that we could slowly be losing our of freedom and thoughts. "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." We our becoming ignorant to what our society is turning us into. You could really say that while we have freedom in our country we are prisoners to ours society. "Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." I think this quote is about waking up and being aware of what we are becoming or can become. "Power is not a means; it is an end." People need to be aware of what we are becoming to have change.

Julia in 1984

Julia is a protagonist in the story. I think that Julia is a round character. She has contradicting views and opinions against the Party. Also, in the beginning she has a rebellious sexual relationship with Winston. I think over the time that she has spent with Winston she has developed feelings for him. This makes her a dynamic character. "The woman with the black hair who works in the ministry of truth in the fiction department." I like that sentence because it's just his first impression of her but really there is so much more to her her.
