Post any comments or questions you have about the events to date.  You can make predictions about what you think will happen to Winston and Julia or share your opinions about the characters and events.  You can reflect upon the contents and ideas in the book. If there is something you don't understand, ask the other bloggers for clarification. You can write about the themes of the novel such as betrayal, love, greed and individualism.   Whatever you choose to write about, remember your post MUST have some tie in or reference to the novel.
