Quote: "He wondered vaguely how many others like her might be in the younger generation-people who had grown up in the world of the Revolution, knowing nothing else, accepting the Party as something alterable, like the sky, not rebelling against its authority but simply evading it, as a rabbit dodges a dog"(131).
Significance: This quote is significant to me because I believe the younger generation will kind of get rid of the Party by breaking their laws. Winston was thinking his generation did not know anything about the Party when it began so they did not know what to expect. The younger generation has seen their parents, family, and friends have to obey things that were the most ridiculous things. They know a little more about the Party then Winston's generation did. The younger generation will rebel and break their rules to go against the Party. Maybe towards the end of the book the younger generation will break the Party and be free from them and do as they please. Or maybe it might just back fire and they will all be killed for going against the Party.
