Chapters Three & Four.
These two chapters gave us a lot of background on Winston. We learned through his dream what he remembers of his mother and baby sister. He can remember what they look like, but other than that they are only a memory. It is a very interesting thing to think. Are his dreams an example of thought crime? I personally think it is. The whole idea of the society that Winston lives in is to forget what has happened in the past and only look to the future. With his dreams being from the past, to me, they are a very good example of thought crime. We also learned what Winston does. It is his job to change anything from books to speeches so that they reflect the "new misinformation" rather than the "old misinformation." My favorite part of these chapters would be the idea of Comrade Ogilvy. It is a good example of how things don't have to be true for them to use them Winston's society.
