Chapter 8

In chapter 8, there is a lot that happened and there is a lot of things said from Winston about how some things are in his community. There is one thing that Winston said that really caught my attention and this quote can be found on page 92 if you were curious. On page 92 it says this: "What I'm trying to say is this. You have been alive a very long time; you lived half your life before the Revolution. In 1925, for instance, you were already grown up. Would you say, from what you can remember, that life in 1925 was better than it is now, or worse? If you could choose, would you prefer to live then or now?" This quote caught my attention because if you were already grown up in the 1920's which is before the Revolution, would you live then or would you live now after the revolution. Well, if it was up to me I would live now, because the Revolution is a sad time to be in and a lot of people were in trouble in many ways. Winston on the other hand, still thought about this question because he was actually born before the Revolution and by 1925 he was already grown up. If you were asked this question, what would your response be? Would it then or now?
