Back to the future
The one that controls history is the one that has power. This can be seen in the real world just look at the history books written after wars and think if the other sides had won how would history be written. Also look at the way time is set up it is by the people that had power over the most people. As for the world of 1984 history is just a word because history has been destroyed and replaced with what makes the party look good and right. This makes people think that the party is always right so don’t question what they are doing. It also makes the party have control on the people because it gives them the ability eliminate people from record make others look bad. This means that they can change any thing about the world with out any one saying a word. This is bad for the people of the world because it means that there is no way to know what is right and what is wrong meaning that they have to trust the party. It is also means that the party has the power to do what they like even if it is different form what they have said in the past because what they did will be changed

who needs to know how to write
The use of writing in this world is getting pushed to the point of nonexistence. Also the need to write has been lost and the use of extra words is being eliminated by the newspeek that is simplifying the language to a point that you will not need to know words. Also the party does not what any written record so they ban writing unless it is not what they produce and have control over and can change to make the party look good. They are still better then Brave New world because in 1984 they still have some of the classic works but they have been edited to fit in with the party. As long as the party is in power the use of words will be limited and starting to be lost because every generation that goes with out it is more knowledge lost in the unwritten history of this world. But if you look at in a good way people still know how to read and the party still uses words and writing this is seen in the work that Winston does for the party. Now he does this to change the words to fit the party and to make it look like the party is always right but it is still the use of writing is being used and that means that there are some people that need to know how to write.

the world of 1984
In 1984 the world is much different then the one that we have now. It this new world there is not history meaning that thinks can change with out the people knowing what has happened because they can not look back to see if they are right. Also you are never alone you are always being watched by who you do not know but they are there. This means that you have nothing to your self but what is in side you mind. But if you think in the wrong way and it shows then you will be killed by the police for thought crime. Also every thing is vary much like Stalin Russian communism where every one is in theory equal but in reality the top has all the power and all the goods and the lower class gets all that is left which is not much. There is also this idea that the world it always at war what this does is to help create the basic foundation of the government. By always being at war there is a sense of national pride in victories and it also helps to stimulate the economy by the need to keep producing weapons and the need for rations because “more” needs to go to the “front line” but whether or not it does is a question that only the top can answer.
