"Poltics and The English Language...." What?

GEORGE ORWELL.... If you could hear me, I would tell you how much I DISLIKED this essay! It's wasn't that it was stupid, I didn't understand any of it! I wish I could find a "Politics and the English Language... FOR DUMMIES!" That would make things a lot easier! I was so confused when I was writing the notes, but I managed! Today in class we talked about euphemism's and I couldn't help but to crack up at some of the one's on the website. I thought a lot of them were kinda perverted. But maybe it was just because Kate said they were! My favorite was blowing the brass trumpet! I about died! But back to Orwell, I've never really had any trouble understanding things, but this essay took me on a roller coaster ride! My brain actually hurt! I guess it's going to be a loooooong weekend of studying and breaking down this essay! Boo.
