Our news broadcasting in today’s society are very controversial and has very highly criticized for the same reasons Orwell was in 46’. Political language has

    The letter was written as an answer by George Orwell. His answer was to the question “whether totalitarianism‚ leader-worship‚ etc.‚ are really on the up-grade‚ given that they are not apparently growing in England and the USA.” This question and answer was asked and replied to three years before he wrote 1984. The audience for this letter is presumably the person who asked the question and maybe others who would be curious to see his answer (presuming they saw the question that was asked). The

    "1984" by George Orwell Analysis When two claims contradict one another‚ it is futile and useless in attempting to analogize between the two. George Orwell‚ the author of the novel 1984‚ defines doublethink as "the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously‚ and accepting both of them." It is the idea of genuinely accepting two conflicting ideas‚ which eliminates an individual’s capacity of being able to think or act freely. Dinh‚ the author of both the Patriot Act and

    George Orwell has used many techniques of writing such as irony and humour to portray significant events throughout Animal Farm. This extract‚ just after the slaughter of the ’disloyal’ animals (one of the most emotive of the events in the book)‚ is no exception and so I will be analysing and interpreting the response of readers as well as making links to other parts in the book. ’Loud singing’ could be heard from the farmhouse‚ this is just after the pigs have come across a ’case
