Interpretation

In the quote, "Who controls the past, controls the future"- George Orwell. It explains how what we do today will effect or change the future. It also explains how if we change little thing here in the present it could have drastic changes in the future. This is some what like the story " The Sound of Thunder". Which the man named Eckels goes in the past to hunt a T-Rex, but steps off the path and kills a butterfly. That death of that butterfly causes so many different effects which cause society to change drastically. Which is called the butterfly effect. When Eckels kills that butterfly, he destroys a full life of unfullfilled life of a butterfly. If that butterfly was to produce some offspring later in its life thoughs offspring would never be born, and that would cause the predators who were suppose to eat the offspring butterflies to starve and it would just change everything we know in the world. This would cause chaos.Which brings me to the chaos theory which a lot like the butterfly theory, because it pretty much is saying that if one thing is changed in the past it would create a complete different future. In the quote it says hows the person who controls the future, which is very true.
Like if a high school kid drops out of high school, they will most likely not have a great job that they love and enjoy and have not many things that they want like a nice house or a fancy. Unlike if that student doesn't drop out, he or she will most likely have a much nicer life, not just them but their kids too. which would be an effect of them dropping out.We right now control what happens to our future we are the one that control the past and the future. It all depends on ourselves.
