1984 Part II- Chapters 7 and 8

Chapter 7
I hate Winston now. He was a horrible child. Like wow. Nothing about is appealing to me anymore. I won't know why Orwell decided to build his character like this but I hate it. I also didn't like his narration at the end of the chapter. The proles are people but he isn't? I didn't follow that argument at all.
Chapter 8
I just don't understand how Winston knew O'brien was a rebel. It doesn't add up. Also, why did he bring Julia?? That was not thought out. The book easily could have ended right there, with "The Though Police arrived within 4 minutes, brought us to 'court' where we were instantly executed." The end.
The brotherhood is really creepy and seems a bit unnecessary. I see the plan, but I also think straight rebelling would work. I would think the proles would rise up against the Party if they were motivated by someone.
