WHAT IS CONCERNED HERE IS NOT THE MORALE OF THE MASSES, WHO’S ATTITUDE IS UNIMPORTANT SO LONG AS THEY ARE KEPT STEADILY AT WORK, BUT THE MORALE OF THE PARTY ITSELF.
Meaning or quote:
On this quote, the author mentions and recognizes that the morale of the party or the people governing a group of the population is not concerned about the welfare of the people they govern. When the leaders are not concerned about the morale of their people, resentment, anger and objections are going to be made. Work can be a distraction to the people to wage their discontent but eventually, they would realize that their well being, a need has to be satisfied. What is the meaning of morale? It is an attitude of a group of people who want to accomplish a common goal or objective.
How its applied to life:
A worker has to have a goal to focus, but if the goal is not the same with his objective or it would not benefit him, then he will become unhappy. This is when leadership of the party has to understand the needs of the workers.

1984 Quotes:
"WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."
The first phrase would provide us an idea that war would bring peace. The fear of retaliation, death and destruction of a nation would depend on the reaction a country would receive if at war. War is a deterrence. It is amazing how many countries are confined within their boundaries because any movement would cause a war because that the country loses part of their territory.
Freedom is slavery, is a true statement because one has to work hard to earn pay, position, authority or even respect. This would enslave people to work harder to attain more in life. Why would people want to achieve status, wealth and position were in the process they are enslaved by their actions rather than the gains they get from hard work? All a slave has to do is to follow the order of his master. He has a free place to stay, free food, and a job he could do well. A slave has no stress, knows his position in society and assured of his basic needs daily.
Ignorance is strength, the fear of the unknown would make us better. Would a person make a mistake if he is scared of the unknown? A person would do the right thing if he or she is not aware of the consequences. Ignorance is not an excuse but a motivational or even an inspirational factor for a person to search for the truth, knowledge and most of all experience to become better. Acknowledging ignorance would be the first step to gain strength and to over come this fear would strengthen our goal or objective in life.

Reflection On Jin Jingzhi's Interview
Dear Ms. Jin Jingzhi,
I believe the pain and treatment you endured is mean and not right. Being at your stature I think you upheld your stance well considering your husband going to jail. You had a lot on your plate and I am amazed at how you handled it all. With the invading and searching through the houses. Did you have trouble living with those inspections? Have you ever regretted anything that has happened and if so why? How did you learn about Mao Zedong? and Did you want to learn about him?
Sincerely,
Sheryl
