@hannah-krynicki Well, to be technical, he wasn’t against communism (in fact, even though he’s called a socialist, I think communist would be a better term for him). Socialism according to Marx is the necessary middle point in transitioning from capitalism to communism. Socialism is defined as all property being owned by the state and (at least in…[Read more]

True, Major didn’t substantiate all his points, but he did make some good ones (considering the fairy tale setting). I think this probably has something to do with Orwell’s hidden bias. I’m not sure how many people know this, but Orwell was actually a socialist. What he didn’t like was totalitarianism. How in the world he thought he could have one…[Read more]

@Hope Honestly, I like it. I don’t think it’s cheesy at all. Great idea, combining the word legionnaires and the word legend. 😉 I’d definitely go with it.

Yes Ingrid, I actually think you hit on one of the biggest points there. The personalities of the animals are so vibrant. Orwell doesn’t seem to miss a single opportunity to point out the personalities of a single animal. That should be a good lesson on the importance of character even above action.

@hannah-c Ah, I wondered about that. Sneaky you.

@hannah-c Are you on wattpad? What’s your username?

Good observations.

One of the first things I noticed was how much telling there is, but how it actually works out quite well. Orwell tells the story in classic fairy tale style but yet does so with a confidence that makes it seem real. I think this is because of the strong third person style where there is never a hint of Orwell sneaking in his…[Read more]

@his-instrument If this is a first draft, it is well done. There are a few grammatical errors and such, but not many. If I were doing a full blown edit, there are more things I would point out than I can here, but overall this story is fairly mature. One thing that confused me at first was why the narrating voice had such a modern laid back style…[Read more]

Oh, @vanna I like both what you wrote and your prompt.

Late Autumn had begun to set in and a cool breeze blew through the hills of the Shire. Frodo Baggins sat in his rocker and blew out the smoke in his pipe in the shape of O’s. The seventy-year-old Hobbit, realising that it was time for second breakfast, stood and entered through the green door…[Read more]

561. And I’ve finished the fifth in my Chaos the Cat series. 🙂 and Started the sixth. 😀 *squeals with delight* Thank you for writing with me @faithdk. Sorry I can’t go for longer.

Actually make that just half an hour as I have something else I’ll need to do. That okay? @faithdk

Oh good. Hey that would be great. @faithdk.

Is there anyone still awake on KP who wishes to write??? I have been told from a very reliable source (thanks @spradlin) that west side of America is three hours behind the other side of America. *hmmm…I don’t think I’m making much sense, but hey, what’s new???*
So let me tag a few people and if you are interested in writing with me for a time…[Read more]

Thanks, @bluejay, I actually haven’t read his books so I’ll have to do that before I can enter the competition.

Let me tag a few people so that you definitely see this. @kate-flournoy; @david; @christi-eaton

This. Is. Hilarious. I honestly can’t think of much I would change— the dry, matter-of-fact, world-wise and patiently weary voice of the narrator is perfect for showcasing what kind of world they live in, the wry humor is fantastic, and as an avid student of English history I can totally appreciate everything you said about royalty! 😀
