Book 3, chp 1

Where is Winston? How is he treated there and why?
- Winston is in the ministry of love for his thought crimes after being caught with Julia. This is his supposed place where there is no darkness because he the light are always on, they don't let you sleep or eat. Anytime he tries to do anything he gets yelled at by the telescreen. He has no idea if he is 10 stories under ground or 30 above it. He has no idea of telling what time of day it is and all he know's is that he is just sitting there as people come and go.
Which of Winston's acquaintances is in the place and why?
-Parson's, because his little daughter heard him say "down with Big Brother" while he was asleep. He isn't mad at his daughter however. He is proud of her.
What happens between the starving man and the chinless man?
-The starving man attempts to give the chinless man a piece of bread, but the person through the telescreen commands him to drop it. The chinless man puts his hands behind his back to show that he was not going to take it.
What effect to the words "Room 101" have on the skull faced man?
-He completely freaks out. He begs and begs for them to not take him there. He tells them he will tell them anything they want to know about anything they want to know. He says they should just take is family and cut their throats right infront of him. As the guards drap him out of there he tries to blame it on the chinless man. Saying that he is the one they want. Not him.
Who truly is O'Brian? What do he and Charrington have in common?
-O'Brian is one of the thought police who were undercover. Him and Charrington both are part of the thought police and they ratted him and Julia out..
