It ends in a stalemate. Nothing in Oceania changes because of Winston's actions. The dictatorship of Big Brother has prevailed and Winston is now a willing subject. He does not question anything the Party says. He trusts them and them alone. Any memory he has that contradicts Party ideology is a false memory. The Party rule continues on. The future is devoid of hope. Nothing will change because the Party is absolute. Change is a hopeless ideal.
The novel, 1984, ends unhappily. All Winston's efforts for rebellion and change have resulted in nothing. Oceania is still ruled by the totalitarian dictator, Big Brother. Winston had big ideas about a society that was fair an equal and these ideas did not manifest. Rather, the Party consolidated its power as well as losing an opponent. Winston was brainwashed and now is a loyal Party devotee, ending the novel in an unlikely way. The conflict was not resolved in the traditional, happier-than-before way. The problems that were present in the beginning of the novel remain. The Party is ruling unjustly, without reason, and in their own interest. Nothing has been improved by Winston's actions. There is no hope in the future. Rebellion is slowly being eliminated and the Party will probably rule forever. This ending demonstrates that when society gives too much power to their government, there is a point of no return. Their power will only grow. The hope for a better future died with Winston. He is now a tool of the Party.
Winston ends up freed from the Ministry of Love but not the same as when he entered. He now doesn't think for himself and will willingly believe anything the Party spews. He feels no loyalty to anyone but the Party. He trusts their announcements and actually looks forward to them. The hope for an improved future died in Winston while he was being tortured by O'Brien. No change will happen now. The future is hopeless.

Your intro and supporting ideas are excellent. I really enjoyed your insights about the Winston and his rebellion. Your support ideas connect really well with your body and your insights are very good. Overall excellent use of words and there is absolutely nothing wrong to say about the post.
:) This post is great. I especially like the "Change is a hopeless ideal". Of course, it's actually quite depressing... but very interesting. You chose a topic that was relatable to which is good.. for relating to your readers. xP
Also, as Mr.Findley said, you have great support. You stayed clear and focused, which made things very understandable and fun to read. :)

This is hard, coming up with things for you to improve on...
You could potentially use more sentence variety in your writing to make it flow just a little bit more... It'll give your shorter sentences more impact if you have less of them.
