Reading about the budding relationship between Winston and the young, dark-haired fanatical member of the Party is confusing, as how can someone one moment hate another person, and the next moment be enveloping one another in a sexual relationship? Thus, this predicament is the main plot in countless novels and films.
The way they meet in secret is reminiscient of aged novels such as Romeo and Juliet, and newer novels such as Gossip Girl and It Girl. Though the latter is not quite as immortalized, they share the same storyline and generally similar thoughts and feelings.
Though feeling themselves safe, they really are the opposite. One reading the novel may think: Why would Winston implicate himself and put himself in the line of danger just to start a physical relationship with a woman that he is not even sure he really loves? Of course, the most obvious reason is just that: A physical relationship. However, earlier in the novel, Winston alludes to the fact that he is just not interested in pursuing relationships like that, not only for his own sake but for the danger of being caught, because one major thing the party believes in is that sex leads to romance and feelings and sentiments, and when people feel sentiment it takes them away from their responsibility to the party, as their mind is on something else. This makes a reader wonder: How is the world populated if sex is not encouraged? Obviously, people that knew the world when it was still using Oldspeak know the truth and that it is not harmful, but the young people who pledge their allegiance to the party will never pro-create, thus leading to the demise of the world.

You are good at writing the part about where Winston meets the dark haired girl (Julia) you have good attention getter, but it’s not the best; you need just a little more information to make it better. You need a support in your thesis part. But good ending.
I enjoyed the way you wrote your thesis. I like how you made it so that one idea led to another idea related to it.
I also liked ow you ask the readers a question and answer it after the readers have some time to think about it. You will ask a question, and have a sentence or two after it related to the question, and then the answer would follow.
The structure of the paragraph was good, and it was easy to read, a few more supporting quotes or ideas from the story would make good improvement and content to the paragraphs.
You have a good attention getter and the use of Romeo and Juliet and other books were awesome. One part to fix is the titles to be underlined, so readers know those are the titles of books. Also the sentence that starts with “However, earlier...” is a run-on. I’m not sure rather you did that on purpose to exhaust the readers for an impact, but if not, I suggest breaking them down into shorter sentences.
good attention getter. needs a little more for the thesis statement but i like then ending.
