Chapter 5

Today I spoke with Comrade Syme who works on revising the Newspeak. I think Comrade Syme is going to get vaporized by the Thought Police because he simply knows information that he should not even be talking about. Comrade Syme talks about cutting out words that are not needed if one word can do the job. I do not understand why Syme would discard words. Taking out words will make people like me have little words to express our emotions. Pretty soon there will be no words to express what we want to say by 2050. I am scared that Syme might exclude all the words in Newspeak that are essential to my way of emotion and expression.
