    The descriptive detail of “Shooting an Elephant,” is so powerful that it persuades the reader, through its descriptions. A successful visual will transfer the perspectives and emotions of the narrator to its audience. The quote “But even then I was not thinking particularly of my own skin, only of the watchful yellow faces behind,” makes the reader feel a sense sympathy for the police officer (Orwell 624). The writer’s choice of wording, “yellow faces,” makes the reader self-consciously judge the Burmese population; even though, the stories narration is through one man’s point of view (Orwell 624). This shows why “Shooting an Elephant” is the stronger descriptive narrative.…

    George believed that writing wasn’t an art but was rather more a part of trying to get his point across to his readers, in his own words as “When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.” Because he was a critic and writer he did this in a lot of his writings like the ones I have mentioned earlier ‘Animal Farm” and “Shooting An Elephant. It was also known to him that good writing came from hard work and relentless efforts to combine the words together to truly make something worth reading. “To write or even speak English is not a science but an art.…

    In 2003, the New York Times wrote, “”Orwellian” itself, is the most widely used adjective derived from the name of a modern writer … It’s more common than ‘Kafkaesque,’ ‘Hemingwayesque’ and ‘Dickensian’ put together. It even noses out the rival political reproach ‘Machiavellian’, which had a 500-year head start.” We see and hear the term "Orwellian" used to describe ideas that George Orwell identified as being destructive to a free society. In much of his work, he emphasized control by propaganda, surveillance, and misinformation.…
