Apparently you read the book, so it should be easy for you to skim through and find things to cite.

Sorry, your homework is yours alone. If you post your finished assignment, you can get critiques and suggestions, but nobody will do it for you.

I don't want anybody to do it for me the whole thing for me , i just need to fine the right quotes , that's all i need, even if you don't give me the explanations that's okay , i can figure that out once i get the right quotes , but i just don't have time, to look through the whole book and find the right quotes.

As far as the desire for love goes, find the quote that describes how Winston felt about making love to his ex-wife. It's in the first third of the book, IIRC. Alternately, find the passage where Winston and Julia make love outdoors for the first time. There's a part about Julia taking off her youth anti-sex scarf -- it mirror's Winston's fantasy of her.

Total control of the party ... well, most of the first and second chapters are filled with that. Find the passage that describes Winston seeking the one corner of his apartment that BB's cameras cannot see in order to make entries into his diary. It's compelling stuff.

As for Windston taking responsibility, re-read the interrogation passages. I don't remember exactly, but it's in there somewhere; he sort of consigns himself to this role, that if his life is to have any meaning, this is it.

The proles ... I don't remember much about the proles, but Orwell's narrative that first descrbes them should have some kind of pithy quote you can lift.

I agree with Calidore that your homework is yours alone, but I'm a teacher, and if I can get you to re-read portions of the book looking for specific things, I'll do it. And don't forget to include proper in-text MLA citations. Remember, the period goes outside of everything.

Good luck!

Make the time.
