![]() ![]() ![]() Briefly summarize Orwell’s “Why I Write.” What was his purpose, and do you feel he achieved it? - What seems to be Orwell’s stated (or implied) purpose in writing either Homage or Down and Out? Does it seem to connect to his reasons for writing in “Why I write”? What, if anything, seems “political” or “social” about either Homage or Down and Out? - What do you notice about the way Orwell describes places and people in the piece you read? What kind of feelings do his descriptions generate in you (the reader)? Assuming this is intentional on his part, why do you think Orwell tries to generate the feeling he does by writing this way? - Finally, Orwell states, “What I have most wanted to do, is make political writing into an art.” Assuming “art” in this case means “works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power,” do you feel he succeeds? Why or why not? Cite your text at least once and explain your answer. ![]()
