This video is a bunch of combined clips of video from the war. This video impacts Winston's life a lot because it makes him think of what is really outside and if that is truly what the world is outside of Oceania. The video makes Winston question if Oceania is truly in a war with Eastasia and Eurasia and more importantly if it really is 1984. He thinks "At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was 1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia." This proves the fact the Winston is starting to question the ways that the leaders of Oceania are trying to convey to the civilians (Pg 34). I thought, while I was reading this part of the book, was that it was very violent and that the leaders were trying to make the civilians think that leaving Oceania was bad and that the best is in here no matter how bad it may seem.

Two Minute Hate
In the book 1984 by George Orwell a man by the name Winston in a part of the book Winston goes to a video that is shown by the leaders. The video is referred to as the Two Minute Hate. This video is a bunch of combined clips of video from the war. This video impacts Winston's life a lot because it makes him think of what is really outside and if that is truly what the world is outside of Oceania. The video makes Winston question if Oceania is truly in a war with Eastasia and Eurasia and more importantly if it really is 1984. He thinks "At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was 1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia." This proves the fact the Winston is starting to question the ways that the leaders of Oceania are trying to convey to the civilians (Pg 34). I thought, while I was reading this part of the book, was that it was very violent and that the leaders were trying to make the civilians think that leaving Oceania was bad and that the best is in here no matter how bad it may seem.

Avery - can you expand on this some now that you have read more? What is the purpose of the Two Minute Hate? What goes on during it? What kind of real emotions does it evoke in Winston?
