Directions: This week we will discuss 1984 Part 3 Chapter 1 - 6 with your classmates  with Prof. Probasco leading the discussion. Please choose at least 3 questions and post your answer underneath the correct question post. You will need to "follow the post" so that you are able to see when people respond to your questions and interact in the discussion. This means that you will need to post substantive responses to your classmates at least three times. Keep the following guidelines in mind when you are posting: 1. If you reference the text or do research on your own outside of the text, you need to cite it correctly using MLA formatting.  2. Do not refer to the movie! This is a literature course, and there are several movie versions; not all of them refer to the text in the same way. Be sure to read the chapters in English. They are on Canvas in the Files section of this course. 3. Do refer to the readings of the week and other chapters of the book. Again, use proper formatting.  4. You responses need to be substantive and well thought out. This may mean that you need to write your answer in a different document, review for errors and clarity and then post it to the group discussion. You should be very clear with your points, cite examples and have follow up questions. Discussion Questions 1. Why do you think that the torturing of the prisoner's take place in the Ministry of Love? What does this say about The Party? 2. In Part II, Winston provides this quote about love: "Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” How do you think that this quote refers to Julia and Winston's relationship? Do you agree with this idea of love?  3. Explain the three levels of treatment in the Ministry of Love? Explain the tools they used to implement the treatments? 4. Why is it so important for The Party for Winston to know who was at war with Oceania and that they had always been at war? How does this relate to the history of The Cold War?  5. Why doesn't the party just kill Winston or the other prisoners?  6. Another famous quote of Orwell's 1984 is: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Do you agree with this quote? In what ways has this manifested in your life or through history?
