Book 2, Chapters 5 & 6

1.  Who has vanished?

Syme

2.  Describe the preparations for Hate Week?  In what ways does the Inner Party excel in building spirit?

Processions of enemies, meetings, military parades, lectures, waxwork displays, film shows, telescreen programs all had to be organized, stands had to be erected, effigies built, slogans coined, songs written, rumors circulated, photographs faked. Posters of Eurasian army men hung.

3. Julia and Winston have some differences?  Explain them.

Julia does not really care about the past, she falls asleep every time Winston starts talking about it. Winston is much older than she is. He deeply cares that the past is being changed. They have different ideas about how a rebellion should go, and Julia lives in the moment. Julia is more worried about herself. Winston is more worried about the society.

4. What finally convinces Winston that O'Brien is a member of the Brotherhood?

O'Brien stops Winston in a hallway in front of a telescreen at work. O'Brien tells Winston that he wants to give him a newer dictionary. O'Brien gives Winston his address and tells him to come over.
