1984 Ch.5&6

Quote: "She got two other girls to go with her, slipped off from the hike, and spent the whole afternoon following a strange man. They kept on his tail for two hours, right through the woods, and then, when they got into Amersham, handed him over to the patrols"(57).

Significance: This quote is significant because it shows how much the Party has control over the people. Even the children are turning people in. It also shows that they can not trust anyone, not even their family. The children probably know a littler more because they are younger and remember more then the adults. Nothing anyone says is safe from other people because most likely they will be turned in. I do not like how the children are being raised because of this Party. It needs to be changed.

Definitions: Disreputability(55)-adjective-having a bad reputation, dishonorable.
Alluring(64)-adjective-attractive, tempting.
