George Orwell was an English journalist and novelist. His real name was Eric Arthur Blair and was born on 25th June 1903,in India, and died on 21st January 1950. During his life, Eric did many jobs and gained great
achievements. For example, in April 1932 he began his teaching career and he also wrote hundreds of books about different events that were happening at the time.
Animal Farm is a dystopian novel about the Russian Revolution and Stalin. All the characters are allegories of people during the time. E.G. Napoleon is meant to represent Joseph Stalin and Mr Jones was meant to represent Tsar Nicholas II who was executed during the revolution.

I decided I wanted to do short paragraph of facts of Orwell rather than bullet-pointing them.

Hello Sky,
This is a good array of facts that shows clear research. I like that you have turned the research into prose, this shows me you have read it yourself. I have only read ‘Animal Farm’, ‘1984’ and some of Orwell’s non-fiction work: ‘Politics and the English Language’ and ‘Why I Write’. I often want to read ‘Coming Up for Air’, or ‘Down and Out in Paris and London’ but I don’t have the time. One day.
Would you consider reading any more of Orwell’s work?
