At the beginning of this excerpt, we see the narrator (Theodore Dreiser) reflecting on the nature of his brother. The excerpt then switches to the narrative storytelling of an event that clarifies and supports this reflection. Because this is a work of nonfiction and Dreiser is recounting real people and their experiences, he makes it known that it’s almost impossible to use words to capture the essence of what his brother was truly like. He proceeds to narrate an incident that helps the readers get a better understanding of his brother and his nature. Dreiser describes the incident as though he is telling a fictional story. He provides descriptive details about the atmosphere and the character (his brother) in the scene, just like a scene from a piece of fiction. He draws on his factual knowledge of his brother’s traits and uses this brief, real-life incident to help readers understand his brother and how he was generous, sympathetic, and a tad bit mischievous. He uses descriptive language to add depth to the incident and maintain readers’ attention.

Part B George Orwell gives examples of bad writing in the essay “Politics and the English Language.” Choose two examples from th
antoniya [11.8K]

1. In my opinion, nowadays the quality of writing declined due to wider and more accessible platforms and lack of literary authorities which enables basically anyone to write and publish a book. Authors of modern prose or poetry don’t pay attention to the text, they attach together words or phrases which are cliché: “…prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house.” Apart from using clichés, modern time writers strip word from their real meaning and degrade language and art, unlike in Russian Realism, for example, where Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky kept low level writer out of literary scene: “…there is a huge dump of worn-out metaphors which have lost all evocative power and are merely used because they save people the trouble of inventing phrases for themselves.”

2. Speaking for myself, Orwell’s criticism in essay “Politics and the English Language” is valid. This is not only the problem in English language and literature, but in all of the world’s languages and literatures. If not nourished, language becomes full of bad habits which are spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. Therefore, Orwell has the right when criticizing modern society for letting language degrade.

3. In this essay, Orwell systematically and accurately points out the problems in English language and modern literature and gives adequate examples to prove them. For each of his reproaches, Orwell quotes or writes examples to prove their point and explains how and why authors make those mistakes.

<span>4. Most of the Orwell’s biggest fears about society’s development came true and one of those is this degradation of language and are, which is not incurable. The literary scene became swamped with various works due to wide platforms and public. But, most of them write clichés that sell well, but the problem is that they have no true literary worth. </span>
