1) Winston notices a stark difference between the way Party prisoners behave and are treated and common prisoners. Find at least 10 points of comparison between the two and fill out a table similar to this:
Common : casual, familiar with guards and prison treatment, relaxed, chatty, accepting their fate, no regrets
Treatment: Guards treat them with friendliness, less harsh, are able to bribe, and aren't looked upon as suspicious as the political criminals, they are sent to labour camps
Political : afraid, dreadful, they are very still and silent, some of them, such as Parsons, believe the Party will give them a fair trial and they'll be left off easy, they are too afrai to speak to one another
Treatment: The political criminals are looked down on by the common criminals, the telescreens are quick to order them, the guards beat them mercilessly, they need to watch their tongues more cautiously, dragged off to Room 101 screaming, and they are tortured ruthlessly.
