Why I write by George Orwell -review

According to George Orwell, the atmosphere in which one grows up in the early days creates an emotional attitude which eventually determines the motive of a writer, whether one writes for sheer egoism, aesthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse or for political purpose. ⁣
⁣
Having grown up during the great wars he consequently acquired a political motive for writing. He wanted to write about his hatred against totalitarianism, plight of the working classes, and the nature of imperialism, but in an art form. "Animal farm" is a perfect example of his political writing in the form of art. ⁣
⁣
I first read in his dystopian novel "1984" about the use of language by the government/big brother to control people and it was eye-opening. Here too, you cannot miss the emphasis he had given at the end of the essay on the relation between language and politics, and how political language decays a language due to use of meaningless words, pretentious diction, read-made phrases and jargon that are used especially during times of chaos to lie and deceive. This is immediately imitated by readers and writers slowly corrupting a language. ⁣
⁣
He suggests that the way to prevent this is to find meanings and let the meaning choose the word and not the other way about and also ask questions like, what am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idioms will make it clearer? Could I put it more shortly? etc. ⁣
⁣
A great book for readers and writers on how to be sincere with words and to express more meaningfully.⁣
