George Orwell 'Politics and the English Language 1946'


George Orwell feels that the English Language is in  a 'bad way' and that we are helpless in resolving this revolution. As a result of Orwell's tone in the beginning, this shows his animosity and dissatisfaction in the way the English Language is evolving. confirming with Orwell, the English language has changed into something which is 'ugly' 'inaccurate' and 'foolish'. This demonstrates how Orwell feels about everyday English. Orwell feels that the words we use, are used without understanding or significance.

Orwell illustrates the English Language as a reduction of simple verbs and constructing them as phrases. In different types of writing i.e.  art criticism and literary criticism, it is conventional to encounter extended passages which have an absent in significance. worlds like 'plastic' and 'romantic' mean nothing, Orwell also emphasizes that rules have been broken due to the present generation.

In conclusion Orwell's main objective to the blog is to show his passion of hatred towards the English Language. In my opinion, the English language has lost many of its values and prominence as a result of slang as there is a lack of interest by the younger generation to keep up with the morals of the English Language.
