In his speech before the National Convention, he claims the Church calendar to debase nations and persuades people that a new calendar is a must for every Frenchman. However, Romme is biased towards the production of a new calendar, clearly shown, because he is head of the calendar reform committee (Document 2). The “Institution Concerning the Era of the Republic and the Division of the Year” also supports the new calendar.

It claims a new calendar will soon be needed for commerce and the trades, and arts and history.

Following on from this, in 1534, the Act of Supremacy was introduced.
Why do we need a king that’s so selfish and disrespectful to rule our country? Religious conflicts permeated Charles’s reign. He married a Catholic princess over the objection of our parliament and public opinion. He also allied himself with controversial religious figures like Duke of Buckingham and Archbishop Laud.

These people are not real. The stories are fiction. But fiction has truth. How? O'Brien creates an intentional paradox for his readers when he writes the violent, but grabbing story of Rat Kiley and then at the end of the story, tells the reader that the characters and events of the story did not happen just as he described them, but that they happened in a totally different way to other people.
They kept re-running the footage to emphasize the tragedy and keep America’s focus, not so viewers that were just tuning in could see. Nobody wanted to state the obvious that, “We’ve Seen This Before” (140). The news footage looked like it was from a horror movie and because it was not realistic it made it seem like it was not actually happening in real life. Everyone is so used to seeing events like this in movies, but they are not used to it real
He notes that the entire "public square" is being "re-feudalized" (82). A great point was made that the American public square was a place where the common folk could come and share information about what was really going in their community and possibly further away, but now there really is no public square. Today, our public square is the news media which is funded and manipulated by those with money.
