"His eyes refocused on the page. He discovered that while he sat helplessly musing he had also been writing , as though be automatic action. And it was no longer the same cramped awkward handwriting as before. His pen had slid voluptuously over the smooth paper, printing in large neat capitals-
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
over and over again, filling half a page."
I choose this passage, because I thought this was a great example of foreshadowing. Showing that Winston clearly has a deep hatred for the government and that he will most likely turn against them.
This was a very good passage to use and I thought it added a lot of suspense to the beginning which made me want to read it more. The only thing I think was missing in this post was you didn't say what specific literary device it was, but nonetheless I thought the passage was very important and drew my eyes when I read it.
