Detailed explanation-1: -Winston hides from the telescreen out of fear. His fear and hatred make him imagine himself butchering the dark-haired girl during the Two Minutes Hate. He hates Big Brother because he is afraid of the dictator.
Detailed explanation-2: -He writes in the diary to get his thoughts out in the only way he can without immediately being caught by the Thought Police (although they do eventually find it).
Detailed explanation-3: -Winston Smith, however, finds small ways to get around his telescreen at home. Because the telescreens have a limited field of view, he can hide a small journal and other books in an alcove above it and keep just out of view to write his thoughts about the Party.
Detailed explanation-4: -7. For whom does Winston realize he is writing his diary? Why? He is writing for O’Brien because he thinks O’Brien is on his side.
Detailed explanation-5: -From a drawer in a little alcove hidden from the telescreen, Winston pulls out a small diary he recently purchased. He found the diary in a secondhand store in the proletarian district, where the very poor live relatively unimpeded by Party monitoring.
