Reaction to Part II Chaper 5 of 1984

Chapter 5 of 1984 was not that interesting enough, except for the part in which revels the point of view of how Julia hated the party. It is like Julia doesn't really care of the things the Party are doing to keep the truth away from the people of Oceania, which is the most important reason to hate the party in the first place. When Winston was giving examples of the party hiding the truth from Oceania, Julia responded to it as if is not life threatening. Here's an example in which Winston was talking about Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford and the reason they were arrested and killed by the party. Her response in regards to what Winston was saying was a lot like saying wow that was boring. The point is that the Party is telling you false information about certain events and some citizens are not noticing about it, or they are getting vaporized by knowing it creating a threat to the party. Most of all, Julia is not that worried about it even though it is not her fault. She was raised during the time the Party was brainwashing minds of little children with their pitiful lies. This is how Julia differs with Winston relating to the way they hate the party and I think George Orwell wanted to show the reader that difference in chapter 5.
