Winston commits his first act of rebellion when he starts writing a journal. This journal is a place where Winston can record his memories, thoughts, and ideas. This journal is a symbol of freedom, hope, and Independence. When Winston starts writing in his journal he knows that he will be killed because of it. He knows that there is no way that the thought police or another party member will not find out about his unlawful act, so this journal will be the end of him. If Winston knows that he will die if he writes the journal this poses the question, then why does he write in it?
When Winston begins the writing of the journal he stops to ask himself, who am am I writing this for? His answer is "For the future, for the unborn." At this point Winston realizes how big of a task this is. Is it even possible to communicate with the future? And what are the chances of his book actually surviving? The future would either be the same and the book would be destroyed or the future would be better and there would be no need for any of his thoughts or opinions. Even with all of these doubts Winston still writes in the journal.
Winston still writes in the journal because he hopes that it will survive and help the future or atleast give them a window into what his time was like. He believes that even if he might die the amount of people it will help would be worth more than his own life. In a greater sense Winston thought that he was performing an act of utilitarianism or an act that would benefit the greater good.
Writing in the journal was also a type of therapy for Winston. In the journal he could say whatever he wanted, he didn't have to hide his feelings. He could express the emotions he regularly had to keep hidden, and the opinions and thoughts he had to keep to himself.
If Winston was willing to die for a possibiltiy of liberating the future generations then what is the price we today will pay for freedom? Are we willing to risk our lifes or the lifes of others? Or are our needs for freedom today less extreme than those of Winstons?

I really liked your thoughts on this. I agreed with you on most things. It was well written and I got exactly what you were saying. Best one I've read yet!
I dothink that that was the most important reasont he Winstin wrote in his diary but i also think that it was a way to release his repressed emothions. similar to the purpose of the two min hate.
My husband and I have been married for about 7 yrs now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Three days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com .

Hello Everyone, an awesome and amazing testimony about a Dr Ilekhojie spell caster i really love to share. My name is Lucia Halland. Getting my Husband back is what i least expected and could never imagine. I and my Husband have been married for four years and we have been living happily but all of a sudden He changed completely and turned away from me and i never knew what was going on, i tried to ask Him but He refused to tell me what the problem is, and as time went on He sought for a divorce. I was so worried and confused, and i did all my possible best to get Him back but it was all in vain and i thought all hope was lost, and during my search for a way out, a friend of mine who had similar problem told me about a great spell caster called Dr Ilekhojie who helped her to solve his problem. I never use to believe in spell casting in my entire life because i never thought it will work but i tried to give this man a chance and to my greatest surprise, He did his work and it yielded a positive result and i was able to get my Husband back. Even after the spell caster did his work, i discovered that my Husband fell so much in love with me unlike before. This spell casting isn't brain washing but he opened up His eyes to see how much i love and needed Him, and now i am a happy Woman again and do not know what to do for this Great spell caster and so i am using this opportunity to tell anyone having similar problem to email him on gethelp05@gmail.com call or Whatsapp him on +2348147400259
