Chapter 5

In chapter 5, we are introduced to Winston's comrade, Syme. Winston explains how Syme works in the making of the new Newspeak dictionary. Syme is a type of person who is very interested by Newspeak and a big fan of the whole Big Brother idea. Syme is a very intelligent person, so intelligent that Winston thinks he will get vaporized because of it. We also get introduced to Mr. Parsons, who Winston tells to be fat and not very bright. Winston believes he will never be vaporized because Mr. Parson is the exact type of person the party is looking for. He fits in well. I feel like the book is getting more interesting and a little easier to read. Its starting to get me wondering what will happen to all the people that are now being introduced and see if Winston's hypothesis is correct.
