George Orwell
"From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer. Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the consciousness that I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to settle down and write books" ( George Orwell, 1946) George Orwell was meant to write books. He writes them extremely well and he has a good way of getting his point across. He plays off of many different literary devices to make his point clear. "Orwell's writings, whether books or essays, have had lasting and smashing impact on people." (Daniel J. Leab, 1997). Orwell's novels get people thinking about the idea given. He has been known to change the political views of many people. On June 25th, 1903 in Motihari, Bengal, Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) was born to Richard Walmesley Blair and Ida Mabel Limouzin. "His father, Richard Walmesley Blair, was in the Opium Department of the Government of India. The opium trade with China had been legalized as a government monopoly from 1860" (George Orwell- A Life, Bernard Crick, 1980). At the age of one George's mother (Ida) took George and his older sister Marjorie back to Oxfordsh
In all of Orwell's writings he makes his views on society "ring like a firebell in the night". Daniel J Leab had this to say about his essays "But his essays resonate with ideas (right or wrong), demonstrate an intellectual vigor and toughness, and in the main are splendidly written. Orwell was firm on his beliefs and views about society and politics. Then in 1922 he decided to join the Indian Imperial Police and served as a sub-divisional officer in Burma. He deserves the accolades he has won for his style, insights, and arguments. George Orwell was good at what he did and up until he died he had a pretty big following. Orwell says that he writes for four main reasons 1) for sheer egoism 2) Aesthetic enthusiasm 3) and political purpose. He was being educated there until 1916. " A Clergyman's Daughter was published in 1935, the same year Orwell met his future first wife, Eileen Maud O'Shaughnessy. In 1933 he published the book " Down and out in Paris And London" and in 1934 he published the already made book " The Burmese Days". In 1908 Ida sent Eric to a small Anglican convent school in Oxfordshire. His topics vary from anti-Semitism to Politics versus the English language. Cyprian's, a preparatory school in Eastbourne, Sussex.
