1984: Post 3

In this book the party has many ways of controlling people. One of these ways is when they change the past. The party has programs in place filled with workers who's job is to erase and create people, change around news stories, and anything else to do with history. The point to changing around history for the party is so they seem completely right in what they do. The people who work for this organization create people in order to move around historical stories for the party to look good. In my opinion I think the party's idea of changing history is morally awful. It is horrible for them to create or destroy people just for the sake of saving their own butts. Then again a lot of things that the party does are morally bad. It would be really sad to live in this world and I actually feel really bad for the characters in this book despite the fact that they are in fact characters in a book.
