The Guide to Rebellion (Part Two, Chapter Nine)

After almost five whole days of working to change all Party documents from having Eurasia as the enemy, to Eastasia as the enemy, I was completely exhausted. But I was also excited. This was because before the five day long working stretch began, I had been handed a brief case during a Hate Week demonstration. I knew that it contained Goldstein's book, but I did not have anytime to look at it in the office. But I was given most of Sunday off, and I was able to meet with Julia in our room above the antiques shop, where I could read it in peace. When I first started to read it, I began the first chapter, then I decided to skip around and read the third chapter. Although I already knew everything Goldstein explained, reading it helped to confirm my hate of the Party. When I read it to Julia she did not seem that interested, but she agreed with everything that it outlined. At times it has seemed like I am the insane one, and everyone else is normal. But then I knew for sure that I was right. We who hate the Party may be in the minority, but that does not mean that we are wrong. We are actually the only ones who are right.
