I'm Winston Smith, one of the employees of the Ministry of the Truth. Now that the dictatorship is over, I'm free and I can tell you all that I been through.
I like my new life or rather than the life I led during the dictatorship. I'm going to tell you my experiences recents although it's very difficult for me to talk about it !
The government decided to take away freedom, for example, everybody wearing the same blue overalls, everybody loses his identity because of this dresscode.
I'm not the only one who can complain but I suffered a lot.
Wherever we went, we were watched, always watched and controlled by all the means deployed by the government like patrols,telescreens,surveillance cameras... there was no privacy. It was hell, it was terrible !
Morever,the atmosphere was sinister,cold and dark : it was very strange for me because I wasn't used to it ! I have never seen London in such a condition, all was destroyed, it was creepy.
A voice spoke to me, it was like in an American movie, that is to say unrealistic.
During all this time, I hadn't the time to get bored, but what I did didn't interest me. The days passed slowly, the nights never arrived.
I really hoped that the end would soon arrived.
Furthermore, the smells weren't pleasant, it smelt like boiled cabbage and old rag mats. I was eager to get out of this misery.
At least, this coveted day finally arrived !
My hometown had been completely destroyed. All my memories had gone up in smoke.
At the time of writing, I'm happy to be always present, to have regained my freedom and my life will never be the same again.
This event of my life makes me stronger.
I hope that my testimony has aroused you and allowed you to understand this part of my life,
Winston Smith
