He writes to the English people to relate to them through maintaining their tradition, culture,

and faith in the government by using culture and customs that both are familiar to and will
unite the country. In this way, he reminds the people that although they may be different
they all live in the same country. Though Orwell strongly was against some of the things his
country did, he believed he always had a duty to her. Many people thought he was anti-war
and military, but, in fact, he said he would always fight for his country no matter what the
battle.

“THE LION AND THE UNICORN”

George Orwell's

"The Lion and the Unicorn" is to convince the people the importance of a social
revolution. Orwell's work is used in reference to the history of socialism, patriotism, and
nationalism. Today parts of socialism, capitalism, communism, and fascism are all still
thriving. Even though socialism doesn't run Britain, it did bring about a lot of changes.
Because of it Britain has public healthcare, housing for the poor and affordable
universities for the working class. Many people feel that Orwell's arguments were empty
and accomplished nothing, but they cannot deny the results of socialist democratic
influence. He believed the only way to accomplish this was an England united by a deep
sense of patriotism.
"Books vs. Cigarettes"

"Books vs. Cigarettes" is George Orwell's defense of reading as a viable, renewable, and relatively
inexpensive hobby, versus cigarettes as one-time consumables. Because books may be bought once and
read many times, Orwell considers them superior to cigarettes as entertainment. , Orwell sums up his
own expenditures on books over the years, compared in round terms to spending on tobacco. He uses
himself as an example, being in his opinion an above-average reader, and shows how even a large
volume of books costs less by the year than cigarettes and are reusable besides. Orwell mentions the
subjective nature of the value one receives from reading or smoking, and examines the value of a
dictionary that costs little and is of use for years afterwards. The contrast with smoking is obvious; a
cigarette can only be smoked once, while a book lasts for years. However, Orwell also allows that reading
is less exciting than gambling or drinking, a subjective entertainment, unlike alcohol and cigarettes which
are enjoyed in broadly similar ways. This leads him to his final point, refuting the initial anecdote; reading
is not uncommon because of expense, but because it is less exciting and usually not done in company.

"Books vs. Cigarettes"

Beginning with a dilemma about whether he spends more money on reading or smoking, George
Orwell's entertaining and uncompromising essays go on to explore everything from the perils of
second-hand bookshops to the dubious profession of being a critic, from freedom of the press to
what patriotism really means.
