Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The name "Winston" means "from a friendly country!." "Smith" is a common last name!. From these names, can you suggest a possible irony!? also, consider the association of Winston Smith with Winston Churchill!. What similarities do you see between the two!? What else do we know about Winston concerning his age, abilities, and occupation!? (/Winston is actually from a very unfriendly country and the irony of "Smith" is that he is not common!. He is one of the few people who ever rebels!. This strength and his perseverance are what link him to the great British leader!. Winston is thirty-nine, has a higher than average intelligence and is employed by the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
