Return to Airstrip One page
      This next journal page taken eight days later is the next mention of the "woman from the fiction department." For whatever reason, our author had decided to travel to the public quarter, which he referred to in the Oceanic as the "Prole district." It's telling that even one who was enlightened enough in terms of Oceanic society to keep a journal, is still to a degree influenced by the manipulated Oceanic language, in his use of the term "Prole" for Proletariat.
       This is one of our author's grimmer entries. In the previously provided page, he expressed his belief that a woman was spying on him, with the intent of reporting him as a thought-criminal, which would have resulted certainly in his execution. Now he has been spotted taking a walk in the public quarter, a highly incriminating thing for a party member to do. Certain that he is going to be vaporized that night, he writes what he intends to be his epitaph. In this epitaph he praises Oceanic Folk-Hero Emmanuelle Goldstein, immediately after writing "Down with Big Brother." The indication here, which has been corroborated by other items unearthed during the expedition, is that during the 1980's, Emmanuelle Goldstein was identified as an enemy of the party, which stands contradictory to current records of the American Oceanic period. This stands as evidence that further research must be carried out on the subject of the history of the Oceanic period.
