  2. Education • Orwell went to a boarding school called St. Cyprian’s in the town of Eastbourne, England to work on his writing. • As he was there, he noticed that the school treated the richer kids better than the poorer kids. • George Orwell felt very strongly about science

  3. Education continued… • He felt that adults knew less about science and more about literacy and economics • “to neglect scientific studies in favor of literary, economic and social subjects”,-George Orwell • He tried to make sure that the public people were as educated about science as they could be • He even went as far as taking isolated scientists into the public

  4. Political views • He was mostly interested fascism, imperialism, and communism. • Fascism- a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of innocent people. • Imperialism- a policy or practice by which a country increases its power by gaining control over other areas of the world. • Communism- a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all that is needed.

  5. Political views continued… • George Orwell was a political writer • He thought that all political parties but socialism were 'hopeless and disillusioning.' • He split socialism into two groups and followed the more realistic views • Orwell said that socialist weren't trying to make the world perfect but were trying to make it a better place to live

  6. Quotes by Orwell • “Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” • “All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.” • “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

  7. Quotes continued… • “One does not establish dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution in order to establish a revolution.” • “All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcomed.”
