Today's Quiz
In book two chapter 3, Julia has a talk with Winston about death and speaks out the truth. Julia quotes, "Not physically. Six months, a year--five years, conceivably. I am afraid of death. You are young, so presumably you're more afraid of it than I am. Obviously we shall put it off as long as we can. But it makes very little difference. So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing." I truly believe in this quote due to the meaning behind it, if we humans stay humans, life or death won't harm. Julia says, "We're not dead, YET," before she gives out her point of view to Winston in which he quoted, "We are the dead." In this quote, Winston tries to make a point that life has no meaning and we are just the dead. Winston believes life is a pointless time so he is somewhat afraid of death until Julia gives out her point of view. Julia points out that as long as we stay human, we shall not worry about death because by then, death is nothing and it is as similar as life.
