Today, I am finishing a task related to testing. Even though I am not here, instruction continues. Please email your paragraphs to me or give them to whoever is with you today. Also please do the following:
Find a critical article about 1984, Anti-Utopian literature, or George Orwell's life. Remember that book notes and WIKIs are not in this category and will not count. Next, respond to this post with the URL, title of article, author, and a brief synopsis of the article. Please do this because I will be responding to the post. Articles that I deem as critical can be used as sources for the critical papers (instructions next week). It is to your advantage to do a good job on this post.
Thank-you,
Mrs. Atkinson

The Biography of George Orwell:
George Orwell was originally born Eric Arthur Blair on June 25, 1903 Motihari, Bengal (now Bihar) India, into a family of the “lower-upper middle class”. He is the son of both Ida Mabel née Limouzin (1875–1943) and Richard Walmesley Blair (1857–1938), who worked as a sub-deputy opium agent for the Indian Civil Service under the British Raj and the brother of of 2 sisters named Marjorie and Avril. He served in the Indian Imperial Police and the Spanish Civil War along with his wife Eileen O'Shaughnessy. He later became a literary editor of the Tribune, a weekly left-wing magazine. He died suddenly in London on 21 January 1950 at the age of 46, succumbing to the tuberculosis that had plagued him for the last three years of his life. He lies buried in the All Saint’s Churchyard in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, England.
Someone pick another type of article so we have a variety. Look for a critical article of the novel or an article about Anti-Utopian literature.

Where is the synopsis?
I'm responding to George Orwell's life from http://www.orwell.ru/a_life/Bernard_Crick/english/e_a-life_1; George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, was born on June 25th 1903 in Bihar (known then as Motihari, Bengal. At times he referred to the torments of his childhood. Most people writing about him have accepted that he had a uniformly unhappy childhood, and some have built upon it. The posthumously published account of his prep school days, ‘Such, Such Were the Joys’, is so unhappy and so horrific a picture of institutional despotism that some have seen it, rather than the political events in Europe of the 1930s and 1940s, as the origins of Nineteen Eighty-Four.
