Name: Why I Write
Author: George Orwell

Synopsis:
In this story, he talks about obviously why he write but more importantly, what made him want to and what lead him to it. In the beginning he says " From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer." Right from the start hes had an interest in writing. He mentions that no matter what he did, he was always drawn back to writing. He never thought his writing was good he just wrote when he felt he had an idea. He wrote about things like the Spanish War, Poems, made up stories and his all time famous "Animal Farm", an allegory about the Russian Revolution. He says " Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it." That is what his writing was. It was how he personally understood things like that. He also says how he wanted to make political writing into an art. He ends this story with how he is still uncertain of what motives are his strongest but knows which of them deserve to be followed.
