Eric Blair was the author of 1984 he was born in India in 1903 he then moved to England when he was a young kid. As a young adult, Blair moved to paris for a bit then went back to England he wanted to be drafted into the military but he wasn’t healthy and strong enough to serve so he joined the lower military where he lived. Eric Blair started going by the name George Orwell when he started writing books. Orwell is still a very recognized writer because of his book 1984 with that book he came up with new words and meanings that are still used to this day like Orwellian, Cold War, Big Brother, and more. Before Orwell was an author he was a broadcaster. Most of the books he wrote involved living in the conditions of a poor person and living conditions like the novel 1984 where the government was very in control of their citizens. Goerge Orwell wrote the book 1984 as a warning after the war that the government in the future could start to control society on another level and could turn life into a dystopia. Countries like Russia, Germany, and Spain are the governments that the book is based on. In the controlled governments people are being starved at high risk of poor health and very poor living conditions. Orwellian means when words or used in the wrong way and are being changed and limited to make you think differently and control your thoughts. Most people use the word Orwellian wrong because it’s very easily mistaken as authoritarian which means like a government-controlled dystopia that changes everything down to the way you think so everyone is the same and the way the government wants them to be.1984 is a cautionary tale because it was written in 1948 and is trying to warn the readers about the future how it could change and how the government can change for the worse and start to control all its citizens.
