Rewriting the Past: Winston’s job at the Ministry of Truth is to rewrite news stories so that they don’t contradict the current party line or discuss “unpersons” who have been eliminated. He is constantly changing the record of the past. In our own society, libraries used to keep bound copies of newspapers and magazines going back more than 100 years. Now because of storage requirements, most of those materials have been converted to microfiche or digitized. Does this increase the possibility that the record of the past will be changed or lost? Is it possible that some of you might end up with a job like Winton’s? Is it important to know what the past was really like? Why or why not?
