Chapters 1-2

I think that the first two chapters of 1984 are kind of hard to understand and pick up on. For me, it took a while to get into the book. It is sort of confusing trying to keep track of Winston as to where he is and what is going on. So far, I have learned that this book is a about a government who tries to control the whole Oceania. They limit the food and they have their own language called "newspeak".They also hold 2 minute hates. Also Winston is writing in a diary and he is afraid that he is a dead man because the "Thought Police" are going to eventually catch him. I think that the book so far is difficult to pick up, but by reading on it will get easier and more interesting. I want to find out if Winston actually will get caught by the Thought Police or if he is just working himself up about it.
