Part One Chapter Five

I had lunch with Syme, a very intelligent man. His job is to revise the dictionary of Newspeak. I think that with his intelligence of the Newspeak, thinking how it will truly narrow the thought of though crime and end rebellion, would soon become vaporized. I was also accompanied by Parsons, a chubby man whose wife is Mrs. Parsons. He discussed how splendid it was for his daughter, who recently followed a suspected foreigner, to turn him in to the police, for his boots were not of origin. A sad though came of Mr. Parson's fate, how he will be turned in like his wife, by his own children when the time comes. He however has a chance of staying in Oceania over his wife, and probably will not get turned in since the children obviously recognize their father's lauding for their actions. He apologized for his son's action towards me and I assume it's false. Soon after, the enthusiastic Loudspeak stated that there had been a 20% increase of the chocolate rations, when in truth was a reduction from that day before. People accepted the statement, and joyfully without any suspicion otherwise. After I felt as though someone was watching me. Sure enough it was the beautiful dark haired girl that I deeply hate. I think she is a Party agent.
