Reflection 3

     This week was a focus of the structure of written language and a political view of what can happen to it. It's obvious that language has a structure to it. There are rules that include mostly grammatical constructs. However, in the article titled "Politics and the English Language", written by George Orwell, there are some interesting points made. My interpretation of the piece remains a large critics of what can happen in written language. He argues points such as incorrect metaphors and meaningless speech. This results in writing that is,"...full of bad habits." 

    His thoughts force me to reflect on my writing habits. Have I made some of these language mistakes? There is no doubt that I am guilty. I hope that by taking his criticism and applying it to my education, that I am able to fix these sloppy habits.
