Answer:

The phrase "the next warm Weather, naked" adds humor.

Explanation:

In these lines, Franklin recounts a story that does not seem very logical. He talks about a witch trial, and he tells us that some women were being tried for witchcraft. However, he also tells us that people believed these "witches" were being "supported" by the "shifts and garters" with which they were bound. This is an absurd notion. Franklin build on this absurdity by presenting an even sillier scenario: that the women were going to be tried naked the next time there was warm weather.

Does anybody have a George Orwell Biography Essay? If not can you help me out and create one? PLZZZ
marin [14]

Answer:

George Orwell, pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, (born June 25, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, India—died January 21, 1950, London, England), English novelist, essayist, and critic famous for his novels Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-four (1949), the latter a profound anti-utopian novel that examines the dangers of totalitarian rule.

Born Eric Arthur Blair, Orwell never entirely abandoned his original name, but his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London, appeared in 1933 as the work of George Orwell (the surname he derived from the beautiful River Orwell in East Anglia). In time his nom de plume became so closely attached to him that few people but relatives knew his real name was Blair. The change in name corresponded to a profound shift in Orwell’s lifestyle, in which he changed from a pillar of the British imperial establishment into a literary and political rebel.
