1984 Literary Reflection for Chap.9 Part 2


In 1984 Part 2 chapter 9 Winston gets the book that O’Brien talked about in O’Brien’s house but couldn’t read it due to the chaos that happened during Hate Week because Oceania switched enemies from Eurasia to Eastasia. Winston couldn’t read it for 6 days. As he starts reading “The Theory and Practice of Collectival Oligarchism” with a peaceful environment without any silkscreen or hidden microphone anywhere. In the book it addresses why “Ignorance is Strength” and “War is Peace”. But when the author talks about the reason why “War is Peace” reminds me of our world today.
In the United Stated we are currently in war with the Middle East or mostly Iran. The United States had been in war with them that I don’t even know why we are in a war in the first place. The war won’t even end soon because United States doesn’t want to give up and neither does Iran. Its just a back and forth fighting that it won’t end until we run out of people to use  In the book that Winston read talked about how “war” is losing its meaning and is to ensure peace in the world. Also the book says that if the world has peace it would be permanent just as a permanent war. This will only happen if the whole world is closed off to one another.
The book that Winston read by Emmanuel Goldstein can be used for the world now. This book foreshadow and told us that the world can go through many years but the people in it will never change
