le class, of which he was a member, to an understanding that the life they led and enjoyed, was founded upon the life under their very noses. At that time Eric Blair took a pseudonym George Orwell.next books were «A Clergyman s Daughter» (1935) and «Keep The Aspidistra Flying» (1936). In 1936 he opened a village shop in Wallington, Hertfordshire where he did business in the mornings and wrote in the afternoons. The same year he married Eileen O Shaughnessy and also received a commission from the Left Book Club to examine the conditions of the poor and unemployed. This resulted in «The Road to Wigan Pier». He went on living among the poor about whom he was to write his book. Once again it was a journey away from the comparative comfort of middle-class life. 1938, Orwell became ill with tuberculosis and spent the winter in Morocco. While being there, he wrote his next book, a novel entitled Coming up for Air, published in 1 939, the year the long-threatened war between England and Germany broke out. Orwell wanted to fight against the fascist enemy, but he was declared physically unfit. In +1941 he joined the British Broadcasting Corporation as talks producer in the Indian section of the eastern service. He served in the Home Guard, a wartime civilian body for local defence. In +1943 he left the BBC to become literary editor of the Tribune and began writing «Animal Farm». In +1944 the Orwells adopted a son, but in 1945 his wife died during an operation. Towards the end of the war, Orwell went to Europe as a reporter. Late in 1 945 he went to the island of Jura off the Scottish coast, and settled there in 1946. He wrote «Nineteen Eighty-Four» there. The island s climate was unsuitable for someone suffering from tuberculosis and «Nineteen Eighty-Four» reflects the bleakness of human suffering, the indignity of pain. Indeed, he said that the book would not have been so gloomy had he not been so ill. Later that year he married Sonia Brownell. He died in January 1950.work .: Thank you for a wonderful report. Now when you have heard about the life of George Orwell will you please answer my questions?
. When did George Orwell realize his true calling - to become a writer and how did he learn to write books? (From the age of five or six Eric Blair (George Orwell) had known that he would be a writer. He taught himself how to write.)
. Why did the writer live as a poor man when he was young? (George Orwell lived among the poor to overcome a repulsion which he considered typical of his own class. He wanted to experience the life of those people to whom he wanted to dedicate his works).
. Under what circumstances had the novel «1984» been created? (George Orwell suffered from tuberculosis when he was writing his last novel «1984»)..: Thank you for excellent answers. As you can see George Orwell used his life experience and knowledge to reveal life conditions of poor people. Now we will try to understand how he used this knowledge while creating his best novel «1984». You have already read the novel at home and you were asked to pay particular attention to the description of space given in the novel and to focus on time organisation. Before we start let us find the definition to categories of time and space.as philosophical term is identified as general form of being which predetermines the length of being and the consequence of changing in state of material objects. Time forms are: storyline time, plotline, narrative, past time, pre-past time etc.- the set of homogeneous objects (events, states, functions and figures, variables, etc.) between which there are relationships such as common spatial relations. Space can act as a real visual character or narrator, and the imaginary, can be represented as increasing and narrowing ..: The main function of time and space in any literary work is of course the function of the main organizing element of the plot. But today I would like to show you that these two categories can perform a role of powerful means for expressing the main idea of ??the novel. Since you have already read the novel I would like you to share your thoughts about the main idea of ??this book. I will write your ideas on the blackboard so that we could decide on the most appropriate.
(Possible answers: 1. Degradation of society living in the totalitarian state; 2. Loss of free love in the totalitarian state; 3. The impossibility of free thoughts, feelings and deeds in a closed totalitarian society ) ..: Well done! You have grasped the main idea. Let us choose the third variant to express the main idea of ??the novel as indeed the main hero of the book has no right to feel, think and do anything willfully. Thus the main idea of ??the novel is as follows: The impossibility of free thoughts, feelings and deeds in a closed totalitarian society. And now we will try to see how ...
