Chapter 2

"To the future or the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone-to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone:
 From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of double-think--greetings!" This quote was important to me when I read it because it has a meaning to it for Winston. Winston was afraid to write because they aren't allowed to because of the Thought Police. After this quote, Winston was already dead after he wrote his thoughts that came from his brain to the pen. This quote is important because in my opinion, Winston was just letting his mind write what he felt, or what he thought. After he wrote the quote he put "Thoughtcrime does not entail death; thoughtcrime IS death." What he said after he gave his own thought is really scary because he is not allowed to speak his mind and say what he wants to say. The Thoughtcrime is death because if they catch you writing down your thoughts or even saying them you will get killed.
