I liked how you saw the use of numbers in this passage, Joshua commented on my analysis of numbers and I thought I would share the wealth of knowledge, Josh suggested that Orwell's use of numbers(math) is a good comparison to how everything is controlled in 1984, how every day is the same.

I found it REALLY interesting how you found out that Big Brother may be related to Herbert Kitchener. When I read 1984, I just completely accepted Big Brother as a direct allusion to Stalin, but that's really interesting to think that that may not be the case!

I really liked how you connected the varicose ulcer to Big Brother's power over Winston. I never thought of it that way, but now that I think about it, the ulcer does show up throughout the book when he is going against "the rules".
