| cause and effect writing examples: Why I Write George Orwell, 2021-01-01 George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times |

| cause and effect writing examples: A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift, 2024-05-30 In one of the most powerful and darkly satirical works of the 18th century, a chilling solution is proposed to address the dire poverty and overpopulation plaguing Ireland. Jonathan Swift presents a shockingly calculated and seemingly rational argument for using the children of the poor as a food source, thereby addressing both the economic burden on society and the issue of hunger. This provocative piece is a masterful example of irony and social criticism, as it exposes the cruel attitudes and policies of the British ruling class towards the Irish populace. Jonathan Swift's incisive critique not only underscores the absurdity of the proposed solution but also serves as a profound commentary on the exploitation and mistreatment of the oppressed. A Modest Proposal remains a quintessential example of satirical literature, its biting wit and moral indignation as relevant today as it was at the time of its publication. JONATHAN SWIFT [1667-1745] was an Anglo-Irish author, poet, and satirist. His deadpan satire led to the coining of the term »Swiftian«, describing satire of similarly ironic writing style. He is most famous for the novel Gulliver’s Travels [1726] and the essay A Modest Proposal [1729]. |

| cause and effect writing examples: The Price of Folly William Seymour, W. F. N. Watson, 1995 In a critical analysis of long-held views of the conduct of the War of American Independence, The Price of Folly argues that the conflict need never have been fought, and certainly not lost, by the British. Its outcome was due more to the many political and military errors made by British politicians and leading generals than to any grand strategy on the part of the American colonists. William Seymour, a direct descendent of British General John Burgoyne, who was defeated at the battle of Saratoga, marshals broad historical knowledge and trenchant insight to support his thesis. Whether describing the thinking of Whitehall policymakers or brilliantly chronicling all the major battles from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, he gives new life to the dramatic events that helped create the United States, the modern world's most powerful nation. Anyone with an interest in British or American history will be fascinated by this new perspective on the war and the men who played out its drama, ranging from George III, Lord North, and Cornwallis to George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. The Price of Folly will be hailed as a significant contribution to our understanding of an event that changed forever the course of human history. |
