Chapter 8
I think that Chapter 8 is where it really gets interesting for me. This is the spot in the book that I never wanted to put the book down, I just wanted to keep on reading. In chapter 8, Winston goes to where the proles live. He is being really risky by doing this. He even goes into a pub to talk to an old man about time before the Revolution. He knows that this is a huge risk, but he decides it is worth it. However, the man didn't tell him anything he wanted to know. He wants to figure out whether time before the Revolution was actually better or not. After leaving the pub, Winston goes to the antique shop where he got his diary. In there he buys coral in a glass. He thinks it is so beautiful. He also talks to the old man who works there which makes him want to go back in a month because he learns about the churches that were once up before the Revolution.The old man tells him about the little jingle that goes along with them. He can't go back until another month because it is dangerous. He could get turned in by the proles. On his way back home, he comes across the dark haired lady who he thinks is spying on him which makes him convinced she is a spy. I want to know what happens next, if he gets turned in or if no one tells on him. I also want to find out if anything happens since he saw the dark haired lady or even what she was doing there.

I was hoping you would explain why things became interesting for you here...but instead you really just summarized what happened. Please know that you will need to push yourself beyond simple summary. How to do that? Dig into what made it interesting. Why did you want to keep reading? What do you think the message is going to be? What are the possibilities? Too often, we go with he first thing that pops into our head when we write a response like this. Don't allow yourself to do that. Keep pushing to find out what else is in here for you. If you need help with that, please let me know. I would be happy to give you a nudge!
