 Brief introduction of author.
George Orwell, born Eric Arthur Blair, was an English writer known for his keen observations of society and
politics. He lived from 1903 to 1950 and is best remembered for his novels "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and "Animal
Farm," which have become classics of dystopian literature. Orwell's works often explore themes of
totalitarianism, surveillance, propaganda, and the dangers of unchecked power. His writing style is characterized
by clarity, simplicity, and a commitment to truth-telling, reflecting his own experiences as a journalist and a
