Nineteen Eighty-Four Novel Summary 7

Winston continues writing in his secret journal. He now writes about the proles (Non-party Civilians) and how if they would just rise to rebellion the party would not stand a chance. Winston also acknowledges that the day might never come because they are to scared to organize any form of solid resistance. The party does not watch most of the proles for they do not all have telescreens and are below importance. The party thinks that as long as they work and breed they are controlled. Later at Winston's work Winston found proof that the lies they create could not become truth. He had found a scrap of paper that said that three important party members had been attending a party conference while on a another day a while back winston remembers the day of execution was of those three people had been ordered and carried out on the same day. these two instances could not occur at the same time. Winston starts to ponder about his job and his falsification he is doing and starts to think that soon they will say that 2 + 2 = 5 and any one who objects is crazy and a "Minority in one". at home he writes "Freedom is to say 2 + 2 = 4" (This is important later on)
