37-81

At the start of this chapter Winston is going to work and he works at the Ministry of Truth, what he does is he pretty much rewrites time he changes things up and all of that to make it seem as if the government is always right and Big Brother can never be wrong. But at work Winston is changing a document about some Withers or something like that, but the guy got killed and he was killed a enemy of the party so he go down as a good party member, and i think this is when Winston pretty much knows that the way of life that they are living is really messed up. It is pretty ironic that he works in the ministry of truth and what he is doing is actually changing the truth to what the government wants it to be.
During this next part i was wondering does Syme think that their language (that could be classified as their mind in a sort or way) which is getting smaller is a good thing or not? And when the voice comes over the loud speaker saying something about food rations and Winston says that what they are getting is actually less then before and the girl standing there it is like he had no right to talk of anything negative about anything.
The main thing about this reading is that it makes me think about what our government could be doing doing behind all of our backs and we could just be believing it all because it is what is being said, there could actually be a war going on and we have no idea because we are not suppose to know that what the government is doing is wrong, yea this book is wierd
