1. I believe that a "thought crime" is when someone is thinking of something that the ruling government does not want them to think.2.I think that Winston is a thought criminal because he is called this by a young boy and is shown to be imprisoned.
3. I would say the opposite of a "thought crime" would be thoughts accepted by the government.
4. I am thinking that Winston is a writer since he is seen writing in a book and is getting in trouble for his ideas.
5. I see similarities in how they say that you are always being watched in the world this story presents and the recent government scandal caused when Edward Snowden reveled how the NSA was able to tap into our cell phones.
1. What, in your own words, is "thought crime"?Thought crime is to think something other than what the government wants you to think. To think anything considered "radical" is to commit a crime.
2. Who might be a "thought criminal" and why do you think this?
The main character most likely is a thought criminal. Comparing this to Fahrenheit 451, Montag is with the other firemen, but a little seed is planted in his mind and he slowly but surely begins to oppose the establishment.
3. What is the opposite, in your own words, of "thought crime"?
The opposite of thought crime is unity and conformism. To think like everyone else.

I think Winston works for the government.
