During Orwell’s life he did many things other than be an author. He was a police officer, as young as 21, then at 27 he became a full time writer in Paris. Then at 29 he returned to London penniless and worked at a series of low-paying jobs. Then from 29-35 He joined the militia of the Partido Obrero de Unification Marxista (Poum), and fought in the Spanish Civil War. Then in 1939 at the outbreak of WWll he joined the Indian service of the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) as an overseas broadcaster. In 1941-43 he became a columnist for the Partisan Review, 1941; traveled to France, Germany, and Austria as a reporter at the end of WWll.
When Orwell was 27 he became interested in writing about his curiosity in British imperialism. His first book Down and Out in Paris and London (1933) was about his hard experiences trying to make it as an author. Orwell only won one award why he was alive for his writings that award was the first annual

nnual award for a distinguished body of work from the Partisan Review in 1949.

If you have never read Orwell’s Animal Farm you are missing out because it is a great story and the themes and storyline are something that your common person can relate to so when you feel as though you need something to read sit down and read this book.

The characters in Animal were not the most believable or realistic things but they did prove Orwell’s point in writing this book. But in a way even though they are talking animals they are natural because people could have the traits of these animals. The characters in this book are very interesting in the way they are thought up, all the characters have their very own personality and way that they do things. But talking animals are very unusual and some people might wonder why this was used, its because with the point he is trying to make if real people were used it was dangerous and a lot less entertaining to audiences. From my point of view this book was a great book that Orwell spent much thought on and when he was done the man knew what he was writing about so it made a point when people read it to audiences and to themselves.

Orwell addresses the theme of people taking over gov
