2) Writing in the journal is against the law. It's a form of rebellion and a legitimate reason to be nabbed by the Thought Police. Winston's initial foray is somewhat clumsy, but it is significant because in actually writing his thoughts down, he has taken a physical and concrete step in his rebellion.... a step that can be proven.
