Literary Reflection for 1984


Something happens to Winston in the beginning of Part 2. When Winston was walking and it was late at night when Winston sees the dark haired girl or Julia (that is the dark hair lady’s name) and she purposely falls right in front of Winston. When Julia fell she slipped Winston a note and left quickly. Winston, scared of the contents that the note may contain didn't want to open it right away. But Winston opened it and it say three simple word “I love you”. Winston was stunned. So to get more information about the note Winston and the dark haired girl appointed a time to meet without a telescreen and a place not filled with microphones either. This happened to me when I was younger.
It happened when I was in the 5th grade. My classmates and I were playing Jeopardy and we were spilt into teams according to the tables we were sitting in. Before the game started some of my female classmates gave me a note and told me to read and ran back to their sit giggling. Confused why they laughed, I read the note. I must have read that note like five times before I gave it to my friends to read. Apparently, it was from my other classmate who I knew had a crush on me since 1st grade. I was really stunned since I didn’t know about dating that much and never thought he would write a love letter to me. Before I could even ask him anything about it the classmate who gave me the note told him to write it. I felt really sorry for him since I said no and that he was forced to write.
From the experience I experience I can relate to Winston in that situation. When you are giving a love letter you feel stunned, confused because sometimes the note can come from a person you don’t even know. In 1984 the book may have some experiences that we can remember and relate to.
