Why I Write Summary

In Why I Write, George Orwell discusses that he includes his personal experiences in his writing to make it more distinctive. Orwell says that “I am not able, and do not want, to completely abandon the world view that I acquired in childhood” (p. 4). As long as he is a writer, Orwell will write about what he wants to expose to the reader. George Orwell’s writing is unique because of his style in writing. His writing is also unique when he includes his own character. “One can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality” (p. 4). When George writes politically he includes his own aesthetic into the entire experience. By doing so, George turns the writing into his own form of art. George Orwell has made it clear that he chooses to write politically in his own personal way to bring attention to his work.

Thank you Karina. The strength here is your explanation of all examples used. I was a little unclear on what you meant when you say “make it more distinctive.” Do you mean writing? Additionally, I would have liked a bit more explanation of how Orwell’s quote that he did not want to abandon is worldview is connected to making his work “distinctive.” It seems like such a key part of your summary.
