"Some Eurasian prisoners, guilty of war crimes, were to be hanged in the Park that evening, Winston remembered. This happened about once a month, and was a popular spectacle. Children always clamored to see it" (23).
It is disgusting to see how people and especially children find death and war amusing. Children should not be exposed to any of that. The Thought Police, Big Brother, and the Ministries are corrupting these children's minds with nonsense. Who teaches there child that fighting is a good thing? It's ridiculous! It is also scary to see what will happen in the future of Oceania once these children grow older. They are even turning their own parents in. Big Brother and his government are taking control of these children. The children have become dangerous little creatures walking around. Parents even fear them! The supposed guilty war crimes that have been committed are most likely the things Oceania needs to bring the real peace to its citizens. Big Brother is putting fear into the minds of adults, preventing them to distinguish what is right from what is wrong and taking advantage of the youth's innocence.
