Journal 3: (strong inside)

You really hoped America was not just someplace that plays a cruel joke on you
Until you end up in the big brotherhood
The telescreens are always watching you,
The thought police too
'All hail big brother' they say
As you burn your opinions away

You see big brother determines a lot
Mostly controls Winston's plot
Until he meets Julia, fantastic girl
She shines to him like a pearl
But later they end up in a trap
Stabbing each others backs

Offences are counted and days are numbered
Julia thinks about Winston, but Winston's not bothered
He knows the relationship will not last
So he starts reminiscing on the past
With his oh-so-stupid wife
And his oh-so-stupid life

The party exists to brainwash you
Throw away real for fake news
Making everybody the same or insane?
Winston wasn't one who fell for this game
Because he knew the reality
But pretended to forget because of the party

Journal 5:

These 3 statements basically are contradicting each other evidently. Like the opposite of war is peace and the opposite of freedom is slavery and the opposite of ignorance is strength basically represents the concept of doublethink. The people under big brother had the ability to doublethink which was basically thinking 2 things that contradict each other. The idea of this was to brainwash the people in this party to think good of bad. They were being rewired but then they know the real truth. That's why war is peace, because they contradict and war is meant to be as good as peace, that's why it says 'is' because that is what it is. I personally think these statements are brilliant because making the opposite of something the equivalent to it is crazy cool.
