1) What do the crowds do, specifically, when they are told that Oceania is not at war with Eurasia, but is at war with Eastasia?
The crowds went along with this change in enemy, and even found themselves ashamed that they were being hateful towards Eurasia, when the 'real' enemy is Eastasia. Quickly after they understand this, they proceed to aim their hate towards Eastasia, completely disregarding any conflict with Eurasia.
2) In a paragraph, describe what the employees at the Record Department have to do with this new information?
Winston becomes very flustered and busy after this change in enemy, and everyone in the Records Department need to erase any evidence that may suggest that they have not always been at war with Eastasia. The workers were made to work eighteen hours a day, with two three hour blocks of time in which they could sleep. The work that they were doing was not even being allowed to be called by name, because it would be against what the Party wants them to be doing.
3) What is an oligarchy?
An oligarchy is a government run by a group of people, most of which are defined by wealth and status.
4) Who is the author of the book?
Goldstein is found to be the confirmed author of the book that is sent to Winston through O'Brien.
