    Orwell was also incorrect in the way he believed newspeak would be used. He never expressed the belief that a group besides the leaders would use newspeak. Today newspeak has been swapped for the term political correctness. "The notion of political correctness came into use among communists in the 1930s as a semi-humorous reminder that the party’s interest is to be treated as a reality that ranks above reality itself."(Codevilla) This quote is saying that whatever the leaders tell must be true and

    George Orwell orchestrates his essay‚ “A Hanging”‚ with the intent to evoke a feeling of animosity from readers towards capital punishment. His detached point of view‚ depicting the animal like treatment the prisoners endure‚ yet never revealing the reason for their captivity‚ allows readers to focus on the justice of the punishment instead of the abomination of the crime. It’s not who the author is‚ it’s who the author isn’t. By having a detached point of view‚ Orwell is able to establish his credibility

    "Shooting an Elephant‚" by George Orwell is a first person view on living and working as a European police officer in Moulmein‚ Lower Burma. There was a bit of tension between the locals and the foreign law enforcement since the British had taken over the country‚ so Orwell was not thought fondly of.

    In the essay “A Hanging‚” George Orwell objectively describes his experience as a witness to a state ordered killing. In doing so Orwell does not give readers a bias decision. I believe Orwell purposefully admits what crime the prisoner committed to get the reader to question whether we have the right to kill other human beings. Therefore‚ the morality of the situation is called in play rather than the author just describing the events as they happen. One does have to wonder how people could eat
