Writing Style of George Orwell Animal Farm by George Orwell is a satirical piece that portrays and mocks the events leading up to the Russian Revolution. In this story, Orwell’s style is simple and unsentimental. He is able to do so by using straightforward English, few figurative language or rhetorical devices, and by creating rather emotionless characters. George Orwell’s plain language contributes to the unsentimental side of his style. On page 114 when he talks about Boxer’s death (“Boxer’s face […] was never seen again”), he does not elaborate on it or give it attention. He speaks of it as if it were an everyday occasion. Orwell does not reveal emotion or use ornate vocabulary
