Journal Entry 7

In this essay, Orwell suggests that the English language is on the decline because the people who use English are misusing the language. What sort of things does he mention as proof that the English language is in trouble?

A>) The english language is in trouble because people use words that dont fit in sentences to get the point across. People uses prahes in stead of sentences and choppin up the words in the language that is how the english language is in trouble.


Orwell wrote this essay almost 60 years ago. Do you think the English language is in a better or worse condition than when Orwell wrote his essay? Can you think of modern examples of how people misuse language?

A>) It is in worse condition it keeps on getting chopped up worse and worse and now with the text messaging and email there is no use for talk it is alll abbrevaited conversations that dont use real words they are fragmented words that dont make ful understanding sentences.


What do you think of Orwell’s list of rules to improve your writing?

A>) I think that the rules make sence and are good rules to use when you are writting a paper. Who needs to butcher the language anymore when you have time correct and sound proper when useing thr langiage properly in your writting or speaking.




.. When writting and thinking of a picture or a sensation it helps me get my thoughts together and right my paper alll together in one coherient peice. When i dont do that my words and thoughts are all over the page and nothing makes sence. When you sit down all ur thoughts play out and make sence before you wirt them, when you write them sometimes in the middle of the thought your paper or thought trail goes no where and realize the whole thing never made sence in the first place.
