Part One- V

During lunch Winston sits with Syme. Syme asks for a razor blade, but Winston lies and says he doesn’t have any spare ones. They talk about the hanging which Winston didn’t attend. They have a cruddy lunch and get some gin on the way to the table. When they sit down Syme starts to talk about the new edition of the New Speak dictionary. He also talks about how New Speak is supposed to use less vocabulary and limit the range of thought. This will make thought crime nearly impossible since there will be no way to express it. After a bit Parsons sees them and joins them at the table. They talk about hate week. Parson apologizes to Winston for his kids attacking him when he was over. Winston says it’s ok. Parson proceeds to talk about how his kids have the right intensions towards the party.
