She agreed to be hypnotized; she began to remember her dreams; she acknowledged her faint suspicions” (Stout 387). It took years to get to the root of Julia’s memory loss. To try to spark up a memory, Stout offers Julia the option of hypnosis, and she took it. After the hypnosis they believe they have found the answer to Julia’s absent past: she was abused. To escape this she learned to dissociate herself from her surroundings. This is why whenever the term “Los Angeles” is expressed to her she “flies away” because the abuse happened in Los Angeles. But was she really abused or was this something that was made up during her hypnosis sessions? Hypnosis isn’t a proven science; it is just a myth, a theory, just like black holes. Perhaps they never found out why Julia couldn’t remember her past and Stout just manipulates Julia into thinking she was abused just to give her an answer, just to fill the holes. Instead of having been abused in Los Angeles, maybe she just didn’t like living there as a child so she would dissociate herself from living there. Sure Los Angeles has beautiful sunny weather all year round, but no one can be eternally happy to be there, unless they’re the yellow guy on the pin with a smile from the seventies that was lost on a beach in Los Angeles.

To some this may seem as just another rebellious act by Julia, however, by indulging in the simple delights such as exceptional coffee or sugar Orwell provides a shift in her beliefs. In the begging Julia would never have risked exposure to The Party for something as trivial as satisfying food and makeup, as she would prefer spending time in the room Carrington has provided. He has given Julia a space to experience real freedom which drives her to want more.
