AP Language and Composition
Today, we finished reading selections from George Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" before moving on to his essay entitled "Shooting an Elephant." We analyzed the essay for Orwell's use of vivid imagery and precise diction.
Homework: Classes that did not finish the essay need to finish reading it (you can access it by clicking here) and finish your image analysis. Afterwards, answer the following questions: 1. Explain Orwell's purpose in writing this piece. 2. Explain how his use of vivid imagery helps him to achieve this purpose.
