DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
"theyll shoot me i dont care theyll shoot me in the back of the neck i dont care down with big brother they always shoot you in the back of the neck i dont care down with big brother-" i dont know what to do anymore. i just came home from work early so i can write in this journal and all i can seem to write is DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER. Its weird because i dont even know if i am down with big brother. during the 2 minutes of hate i found my hatred not being directed at goldstein and our enemies, but at big brother himself. there is this dark haired girl who is driving me crazy and i cant stand it. i hate her because she is beautiful and i want her in a way that would never be possible, nor permitted. am i ever tired now a days with my ulcer and my... i just woke up from the strangest dream. i dreamt about my family that died long ago for me. about my mother and my father and my sister. ive had other dreams about o'brian. i dont know if i should trust him but i think i will because it seems like it doesnt really matter. he seems like a good guy. i feel like my fate is already determined. i feel like they can tell how suspicious i am and they can see the guilt all over my face. i am scared me and my friend syme will get vaporized. we would get vaporized for different reasons obviously. syme because he is too smart and me because i am breaking the law. i know i am going to get caught eventually. like when mrs. parsons knocked on my door and her children came in talking about the thought police and traitors and i thought they were on to me. and when i left my journal open on the counter. i dont know what i was thinking. i have got to go but i will write again when i get a chance. -Winston
