I think that the old man in chapter VIII could symbolize the fact that time is getting wasted and something has to be done before Winston is too old and it is too late. He talks to the old man to try to figure out if life was different and better before the party took over. And i dont understand why he would commit suicide...i dont even see what he did wrong.
I think its pretty funny that the girl has to fall on purpose and sneak Winston that note...but Winstons gotta hit that up, its not every day that any girl will just give a guy a note that says she loves him. But just a little note from a friend can make all the difference in someone's life. Winston goes from wanting to kill himself to not wanting to, just because of the note...so thats why every little thing we do could make a difference and we dont even know it.
When Winston and the girl are at the lunch table planning to meet somewhere, it reminds me alot of when Romeo and Juliet had to sneak around to see eachother and avoid being caught. But this is getting pretty intense, looking forward to reading more
P.S. Mrs Hurlbert, you know you love me

It was a good connection you made between Romeo and Juliet and Winston and Julia.. see, the guy who wrote "Lit like a Professor" really did know what he was talking about, it's all one big story! ;)
P.S. You should probably keep your love notes off the internet...
I also thought that it was a good connection that you made with Romeo and Juliet and Winston and Julia. Also I like the way that you thought that the old man symbolized Winston when he gets older, I never thought of it that way but it could be true because Winston remembers some of his past right now and as he gets older his memory will fade like the old man because he was unable to answer the questions.
I didn't think that it was very funny that the girl has to go to such trouble just to tell a guy that she loves him. I think that's just sad.
So I was very impressed with this blog. It makes a lot of sense. The part where Winston should hit that up is very insightful...but anyway a certain note to the right person can change that persons world and that is exactally what happened with Winston...next time just add a quote and you'll ace it!!!
Yes, I also agree that the little things we do can make all the difference in someones life. Winston wanted to smash Julia's head in before she gave him the note, and then he found out that he truly loved her (although he had fantasies about her before).
The note was a sign of hope; it gave Winston something to look forward to and something to live for.
By the way...I'm not sure if you're going to ace your blog if you say "you know you love me" at the end. ;P You may want to consider checking at least some of your grammar too =)
