-being with each other (having sex, secret notes, meeting up, being in love)
-going to the room Winston rented and buying food on the black market, Julia putting on make-up, Winston and his journal
-not to mention a whole lot of thought crime
In their last time together in the rented room Winston tells Julia your only a rebel from the waist down. Julia is young full of life, and wants to damage the party in slaps (brief isolated yet wrong acts) and she is only really wants to affect herself.
yet Winston is older and more mature he would want to effect change for all. He doesn't want to slap big brother he was so see him dead. due to his age Winston has vague yet powerful memories (for him) of how it was before Big Brother.
