Winston is in the Ministry of love and he has no idea how long he has been there. In all this time he has not even looked into a mirror once until O’Brien shows him one. For the first time Winston sees that he is no match for the party and that eventually they will defeat him. He thought that he was superior to the party until O’Brien proved to him that no one is above the party.
In the mirror he saw that although he was only 39 he had the body of a sixty year old man. He was weak and defenseless. O’Brien showed him that he had been defeated, “We have beaten you, Winston. We have broken you up.” Even though Winston could not deny that he had been defeated he took comfort in knowing that he still had not betrayed Julia. And although O’Brien had tortured him and put him through so much pain he still admired him for understanding what he was told.
When Winston starts getting healthier he finally realizes that the party is right. The party is always right and could never be wrong, “how could the immortal, collective brain be mistaken?” He finally accepted everything he had been told about the party. He was no longer superior to the party; the party was superior and had defeated him.

+ good structure and support
- attention getter and intro a little weak
- listing and plot more than concept
++++/4
Good use of quotes and your structure is good.
You could have said more what your emotions were while reading it, but other then that it was good.
+ good flow and supportive
-intro and conclusion can be spiced up
You really have great quotes in good places for your paragraph. I also like how you describe only the important part of the story. I think that it had great attention getter but had little weak ending.
