1984 Part 2
Winston is doubting what the State and Big Brother are selling because he knows what they are telling the public cannot be right. Winston knows that they are manipulating people and controlling their will, even though Winston was raised in that society he is beginning to think that it is not right. These small acts of defiance may be a form of protest in Oceania, but I do not think that they would be protests in real life. I think that because just questioning what someone is doing is not a form of protest. For example it's alot different to think of doing something, than to actually do it. His "protests" (if you can even call them that) are different than the protests going on in America today. His "protests were just thinking about doing something, while the protestors in America are marching, and organizing things to oppose. In a way Winston is talking the talk, while the Americans are walking the walk.
