Chapter 5

I ate lunch with Syme, a party member. We chatted as well. He discussed his job which is writing the newspeak dictionary. He seems to believe that in years from now the dictionary will only consist of one word. I find this idea confusing and unbelievable. Mrs. Parsons children will probably be vaporized by their own children someday. This idea occurred to me later in the day when they apologized to me. The dark haired lady passed me today and stares. I hate the dark haired lady.
