In 1936, he was commissioned to write an account of poverty amongunemployed miners in northern England, which resulted 4 The Road toWigan Pier (1937). Late in 1936, Orwell travelled to Spain to fight for theRepublicans against Franco’s Nationalists. He was forced to flee 5 fear of hislife from Soviet-backed communists who were suppressing revolutionary socialistdissenters. The experience turned him into a lifelong anti-Stalinist.789Between 1941 and 1943, Orwell worked on propaganda for 6 BBC. In 1943,he became literary editor of the Tribune, a weekly left-wing magazine. 7now he was a prolific journalist, writing articles, reviews and books.11Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair on 25 June 1903 in eastern India, the son of aBritish colonial civil servant. He was educated in England and, after he 1Eton, joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, then a British colony. Heresigned in 1927 and decided to become a writer. In 1928, he moved to Paris2 lack of success as a writer forced him into a series of menial jobs. Hedescribed his experiences in his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London,published in 1933. He took the name George Orwell, shortly before itspublication. This was followed by his first novel, Burmese Days, in 1934.10In 1945, Orwell’s Animal Farm was published. A political fable set in a farmyardbut based on Stalin’s betrayal of the Russian Revolution, it made Orwell’s nameand ensured he was financially comfortable 8 the first time in his life.Nineteen Eighty-Four was 9 four years later. Set in an imaginary totalitarianfuture, the book made a deep impression, with its title and many phrases –10 as ‘Big Brother is watching you’, ‘newspeak’ and ‘doublethink’ – enteringpopular use. By now Orwell’s health was deteriorating and he died 11tuberculosis on 21 January 1950.Now, answer these two questions.121How may his stance on totalitarian political regimes have affected his writing?Having worked for propaganda for the BBC, how may this have affected his view on the way thehuman mind can be manipulated?http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic figures/orwell george.shtml (the text has been adapted)3

Why do we need rules anyway?THE ROLE OF PIGSIn Chapter 2, we learn that the pigs are taking control of the farm on account of their intellect, whichthe other animals consider only natural: “The work of teaching and organising the others fellnaturally upon the pigs, who were generally considered as being the cleverest of the animals.”Three pigs in particular stand out.
