The party can be seen erasing documents to align with their values, changing history and spreading false info. This makes the proles doubt their own memories and "trust" the party. The link below relates this to modern society where higher powers may use misinformation to alter the truth. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2017/10/19/the-future-of-truth-and-misinformation-online/ Tue, 04 Feb 2025 09:48:08 -0700 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=32420 https://writingpartners.net/documents/4009?scroll_to=32420 The nonstop propaganda feels like how constant news cycles keep people distracted or overwhelmed.

Just like Winston puts on a mask under surveillance, Gatsby constantly performs a version of himself to fit into society and impress others.

It reminded me of propaganda slogans, such as "Make America Great Again", which sounds simple but it is not when you think about all that truly has to go in for that to happen.

They both used writing as a form of expression and resistance in their harsh circumstances.
