In "1984," is Julia a spy? Please provide specific examples from the book.My teacher says that he knows of 17 pieces of evidence which proves that...

That's a lot of evidence. I never read the book as if she were a spy, but from that point of view I can give you some help.

1. Julia was outwardly an active member of the Party. She was in the Junior Anti Sex League, she spent countless hours in the Community Center.

2. In Part One when he sees her outside Charrington's shop, she might have followed him there as part of her spying.

3. She knew how to "travel" so they wouldn't get caught, for example coming two separate ways and going home two entirely different ways- not common knowledge to Party members and Winston is impressed by her knowledge and planning.

4. She already knew his name before she met him, even though they had never really crossed paths or spoken before.

5. At their first meeting she gave him a piece of authentic chocolate, not Victory chocolate, which she says she got on the "black market".

6. She gets several items from the "black market" for almost all of their meetings, coffee, chocolate, jam, sugar.

7. When she was young she was a Troop leader in the Spies.

8. She admits to total promiscuity with Party members, although no Inner Party members she does confess to having hundreds of sexual partners (possibly people she has turned in before if she's a spy).

9. He talks to her about his memories of changing records and she asks him questions, particularly if he was friends with Rutherford, Jones, and Aaronson.
