Part Three, Chapter 1

In this chapter, Winston meets to people he knows. First is Ampleforth. I'm not sure what the big deal was with using the word God, but I think it is because they want people to think Big Brother is like the almighty God. Next he meets Parsons. His daughter turned him in, yet he is proud of her. I believe Parsons would be the perfect Party member. He believes everything and he totally loves them. The fact that he is proud of what he daughter did shows it all. One guy that is in the cell with Winston really sticks out to me however. The guy with the skull-like face. He says how he has confessed to everything and that he has been starved for weeks. This startles me a little, because how does he know how long he has been there? Winston explains that the lights are always one so one never knows what time of day it is. It basically makes them go insane. The other thing that caught my eye was how he said all the things he would do not to go to room 101. He says how he would watch them cut his kids throats. What could possibly be so bad, that it would make someone rather watch their kids throats be cut? I don't think that room is where they die, because he clearly knows what happens in Room 101. I think the only way he could know is because he has either been there before or someone has told him about it which means the person came out alive. I believe that everyone who commits a crime has to be taken to this room, so eventually Winston will have to go there.
