hi this is J in this video we shall see the summary of why I write by George Orwell George Orwell wrote his Animal Farm in 1945 and which was uh greatly accepted by everyone and which was based on the Russian Revolution and one year later that is in 1946 he wrote this essay why I write and here he says that from the very young age itself he knew that he wanted to become a writer he was a lonely child like his parents had three children his El the elder child was 5 years older to him and the youngest one was 5 years younger than him and being in the middle he was not able to play with them or converse with them so he was a lonely child and how he will pass his time is by making up stories in his mind and he'll be talking with imaginary people and most of the time he'll be talking with Robin Hood which is an imag AR character for him and he says this liking to write to become a writer is linked with my childhood loneliness and during the first world war he wrote two poems at that time he was a small child and those two poems got published in the local newspaper and he says that was the beginning of my publishing career and he says being a lonely child my mannerisms were disagreeable to everyone I was unpopular and I was not properly fitting in the society but writing gave him an outlet and he says that as a child itself he wrote his poems but he agrees that his poems were based on the ideas and style from the early romantic poet William Blake and the ancient Greek poet aristan and what he wanted to do is he wanted to write enormous naturalist novels with unhappy and over styled endings and he wanted his writings to be with detailed descriptions with arresting similes and he says I wanted to use purple passages by saying purple passages he says about self- intelligent writing and he says that his first novel burmes days is one such book which was written in the manner of fro and this is what he utilized in it and he says that all the writers will have four motivations including him he says even the other writers will have these four motivations and generally childhood have an influence on the writers and what are these four motivations are sheer egoism aesthetic enthusiasm historical impulse and political purpose sheer egoism is generally people will live for others but there are a few people who are gifted and who will live their life in their own terms till the end and though he says this is vain he says it is this motivation which is required for artistic output but definitely it need not be very normal and he says that most of the writers are motivated by the ego and by aesthetic moment motive he says arranging the words in the right Arrangement because that only gives that beauty to the language and he says when the writer wants to create something beautiful he wants to convey what he wants to others in a very beautiful Manner and when he arranges the words in which he can beautifully convey his content that will be a great motivation for the writer and by historic desire he says we will store up all the facts what he what they read what they see what they hear everything in their mind and later on they will use it in the correct place so that that will make some sense of things in their writing and finally by political desire he says that most of the writers will want to lead the world that is push the world in a certain direction and in the past also writers have had a great part in impacting the important events of the world and he says that these characters that is all these four qualities together only will be motivated in the writers particularly he tells about himself and he also talks about the path he chose to abandon that is which he did not want to take he had been a soldier and a civil servant and he feels that both did not fit him properly he had written a short poem a happy viar I have I might have been 200 years ago in this he says that he was living in the evil time and his writings are also fused with the sociopolitical drive which was happening at that time he had seen World War I the Spanish Civil War and the World War II and he says all these have made a mark in his work if he had born 200 years ago maybe he would have H been happy at that time but this is not the time where he could accept things as it were and say he was happy and he says that after 1936 all my whatever I have written have been directly and indirectly against totalism or and for Democratic socialism now totalism means a government which is ruled by the dictator and Democratic socialism is where the government is according to the will of the people and so here he says that his writings that is through beautiful Pros he has tried to combine his effect and the desire for Effective political messaging that is what changes he wanted in the politics what he finds is not correct in politics He has expressed that in his writings and he says that he chose to write this beautiful pros and create art where he can actually combine political anti Fascism and anti- totalism which he feels is the message of the time finally he says he tries to and in fact he has succeeded in his effort in this way in through his allegorical novel Animal Farm which was published in 1945 and he says he has actually written a fiction based on this Russian Revolution and the Russian Revolution is a place is a period where the social and political appeals led to the overthrow of the Russian royal family in 1970 and now that see this essay he wrote in 1946 and the next book he was planning to write was a politically powerful book 1918 1984 which he published in 1949 and he says that 1984 will definitely Define the J of political dystopia and solidied the descriptor Oran and he says that his writings has been celled by the Injustice of the world and it is the cry for social democracy in the face of fascism and he hopes he hasn't represented writing as an overly atristic in the nature at the end of the essay and and he also acknowledges that that while overarching concerns of his body of work are in the service of others these efforts are not entirely selfless because he has had a selfish motive in writing it and that is what he says in the end he says that these efforts include Animal Farm which is actually a cautionary tale about the dangers of Communism and the other novel which he was planning that is 1984 are all based on that and he says not only him all the writers want to prove something and they want to impress their views and their genius upon the world and he says that all the writers are driven by ego or you can say it's a desire that they want to be recognized that they have played an important significant part in this world and they do their best and their best is driven by larger motivations that benefit Humanity so all the writers have this in them that is they want a writing to benefit humanity and orille says that he is also one among them and
