Chapter 2, Section 10

We are the dead. Thats all it took for the voice in the wall to come alive. They had finally caught us, and now, we really were dead. I don't know what they have done with Julia. I don't know what they will do with me either, but I am scared. O'Brien is such a traitor. I hate him with a deep, burning passion.

Chapter 2, Section 9

The Book had finally arrived, just as planned. During one of the hate week gatherings, a man tapped me on the shoulder, told me I had dropped my briefcase, handed it to me and walked away. As quick as that. As soon as I could after the rally, I went to the little room above Mrs. Charrington's shop to read. I had read some of the first chapter when Julia arrived, so i started over and read it to her, but she fell asleep. I found the whole thing so fascinating, and it was great to know that all of my ideas from over the years were not crazy after all.

Chapter 2, Section 7

Wow. I can't believe I was actually in O'Brien's house. A house of an inner party member, what an accomplishment. And he can turn the telescreen off! What a feeling that was to be completely private without a telescreen or knowing that somebody was always watching you. That was the first time I can ever remember being in a home without worrying about a telescreen. When O'Brien knew what I was there to talk to him about, it was such a relief knowing that he was on my side. And the Brotherhood is real! I'm not crazy! I can't wait for the arrival of the book. I plan on reading it the very first chance I get, although I am not sure when that will be.

Chapter 2, Section 6

When O'Brien approached me, I thought my heart was going to jump out of my head. By that, I don't literally mean that my heart is in my head, just that I was really scared. I could not believe it. He made a convenient excuse for me to visit his house by saying I should get the new dictionary. Even though he did not say it out loud, we both knew that we had to talk about the brotherhood. And by him inviting me to his house, my dreams of him had finally been confirmed. The brotherhood is real.

Chapter 2, Section 5

Syme is gone. They finally got him. I knew he was too smart. He thought too much, and they got him. Anyone who is truly smart would just stop thinking all together. When Julia and I meet, there is no thinking needed. We just love each other without words. We continued to meet in the room over Mrs. Charrington's shop. We could talk for hours, days even, and i would never get bored. I loved being with her. She even laughed at my terrible jokes. She thought it was especially funny when I called her a "rebel from the waist down." she laughed hysterically at this.

Chapter 2, Section 4

FINALLY! YES! I have done it! I found a place for Julia and me to be alone together. No telescreen, no secret spies, and no microphones. Just Julia and me, alone, together. We made a plan to meet, and when the time came, I was so excited I arrived early. When she got there, she had a bag with real coffee, sugar, and actual tea leaves, and she even put make up on. She looked so beautiful I could not take my eyes off of her. While laying on the bed together, a rat appeared in the corner and without even thinking about it, Julia threw a shoe at it like no big deal. I, on the other hand, was terrified. When she saw how scared I was she hugged me and made me feel better. She is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Chapter 2, Section 3

The next times I would see Julia were quick passings in the streets, always in big crowds. We could not meet often, and never for longer than a few quick moments, but it was worth it. The next opportunity we had to actually sit and talk was in the tower of the church. We talked about everything, her age, beliefs, and even about Katharine. I even told her about my urge to shove her off of the edge of the cliff one time. She said I should have done it, and that she would have. And with her rebellious nature, I would not doubt it for a second. We talked about this game that we were playing, and that of course we would get caught, but she insisted that it would not be for a long while, and we are definitely not dead yet.
