Chapters 3-4

In chapter 3, Winston talks about his history or what he thinks is history. He mentions the past when his mom, dad, and sister were around. I never really got what happened to them though and why he is the only one still alive. He also talks about how they are always at war with one and at peace with the other. So he says how they are never really ever at peace. He always refers to something as the past but then says how it may not even be the past. He "doublethinks" a lot of the time. No one really knows what history is or even what "truth" is. In chapter 4, Winston explains all about his job. He is the person who has to re-edit newspapers, books, magazines and the entertainment stuff to say the "truth". If something has false information, he will change it to what is now true and then other people take the old stuff and get rid of all evidence. I think it is weird how people in that department can still fall for the things that are false and believe what BB tells them. That surprises me.
