Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's. You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's. When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey. When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch. When will that be? Say the bells of Stepney. I do not know, Says the great bell of Bow. Here comes a candle to light you to bed, And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!   Chip chop chip chop the last man is dead[1]

9. BOOK 3: Ch. 1
“There was a constant come-and-go of prisoners of every description…”
“In this place, he knew instinctively, the lights would never be turned out. It was the place with no darkness…”
“‘It was my little daughter,’ said Parsons with a sort of doleful pride.”

10. “One, a woman, was consigned to ‘Room 101,’ and, Winston noticed, seemed to shrivel and turn a different color when she heard the words.
“‘You knew this, Winston,’ said O’Brien. “Don’t deceive yourself. You did know it – you have always known it.”

11. Ch. 2
“He confessed to the assassination of eminent Party members, the distribution of seditious pamphlets, embezzlement of public funds, sale of military secrets, sabotage of every kind.”
“‘Don’t worry, Winston; you are in my keeping. For seven years I have watched over you. Now the turning point has come. I shall save you, I shall make you perfect.’”

12. “‘You are unable to remember real events, and you persuade yourself that you remember other events which never happened.’”
“‘Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes; only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.’”
“Behind his screwed-up eyelids a forest of fingers seemed to be moving in a sort of dance, weaving in and out, disappearing behind one another and reappearing again.”

13. “‘Big Brother is the embodiment of the Party.’”
“‘You know what is in Room 101, Winston. Everyone knows what is in Room 101.”

14. Ch. 3
“‘There is learning, there is understanding, and there is acceptance. It is time for you to enter upon the second stage.’”
“‘I wrote it. That is to say, I collaborated in writing it. No book is produced individually, as you know.’”
“ ‘The party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.”

15. “‘Nonsense. The earth is as old as we are, no older
“‘Nonsense. The earth is as old as we are, no older. How could it be older? Nothing exists except through human consciousness.’”
“ ‘How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?’ Winston thought. ‘By making him suffer,’ he said.”
“He had stopped because he was frightened. A bowed, gray-colored, skeletonlike thing was coming toward him.”
“‘I have not betrayed Julia,’ he said.”

16. 1984 Book Ending
Ch 4: “Now he had retreated a step further: in the mind he had surrendered, but he had hoped to keep the inner heart inviolate.”
“‘You hate him. Good. Then the time has come for you take the last step. You must love Big Brother. It is not enough to obey him; you must love him.’”
Ch 5: “The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.”
“‘Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don’t care what you do to her.’”

17. Ch. 6: “They could have lain down on the ground and done that if they had wanted to. His flesh froze with horror at the thought of it.”
“He was overwhelmed by a desire not so much to get away from Julia as to get back to the Chestnut Tree Café, which had never seemed so attractive as at this moment.”
“A voice was singing: ‘Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me—”. The tears welled up in his eyes.”
“Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”

18. “Why I Write”
What points in this essay foreshadow the writing of 1984?
“First I spent five years in an unsuitable profession (the Indian Imperial Police, in Burma), and then I underwent poverty and the sense of failure. This increased my natural hatred of authority and made me for the first time fully aware of the existence of the working classes…”
“I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls,/And woke to find it true;/I wasn’t born for an age like this;/Was Smith? Was Jones? Were you?”
“Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.”

19. Research Paper Research Paper Process handout Motifs  themes
Creating themes from motifs
E.g. motif = effects of war; theme = The detrimental effects of war carry on for generations to come.
Motifs  themes
Use your second motif tracker to narrow down to two motifs
Locate 4 supports (general) that demonstrate the development of your theme (can be plot points, elements of characterization, Orwell’s use of literary devices, etc.) *No need to locate textual evidence just yet!
Create full theme/message for each motif
Once you have created your two potential themes, select one and use the quote sheet to locate textual evidence for each of your four supports. **This page for your ONE theme and four quotes (with context and analysis) will serve as Assignment #1 – Research Proposal.

20. Homework
Begin Reviewing for Books 2 and 3 Test next week (Thursday, 5/11)
