Eric Arthur Blair

The imaginary name of Eric Blair was George Orwell, born on June 25, 1903 at Motihari in India. At that time, "India was part of the British Empire" (Orwell 1/4 page). Since this was at the turn of the century, there were not many people who could immigrate to India without the "British Empire" (Orwell 1/4 page). Eric's father, Richard Blair, is an agent of the opium department of a civil servant in India. For a while before Blair was born, Blair's grandfather worked for the Indian army. His family "is not very rich, [Blair] later described them as middle classes" (Orwell pg 1 of 4).

Eric Arthur Blair was born on June 25, 1903 in Motihari Bihar, India. His grandfather, Charles Blair, is a gentleman of the wealthy country of Dorset, married to Mary Fern, the daughter of Earl of Westmoreland, and earned income as a plantation absent as Jamaican landlord. His grandfather Thomas Richard Arthur Blair was a pastor. The attitude of a gentleman has been handed down for generations, but it is not prosperous; Eric Blair calls his family "middle class". His father, Richard Walmers Blair, worked in the opium club of a civil servant in India. His mother Ida Mabel Blair (née Limouzin) grew up in Moulmein, Myanmar and her French father participated in speculation. Eric has two sisters: a 5-year old Marjorie and a 5-year-old Avril. When Eric was one year old, her mother took him and his sister to the UK.

In 1903, Eric Arthur Blair was born. Until 4 years old, Blair and his family lived in India, then moved to the UK and settled in Henry. At the age of 8, Blair was sent to a private school in Sussex and stayed there until the age of 13. He went to two private high schools: Wellington (one semester) and Etonon (four and a half years). After Eton, Blair joined the Imperial Indian police and trained in Myanmar. He served there for nearly five years, then decided not to return during the vacation in 1927. He later wrote that he understood and refused the imperialism he served. Between the hatred towards the empire and the anger to the local people who opposed it, he was shocked and made the direct job more difficult. In the first six months of liberation, Blair traveled to the eastern district to study the poor in the UK.
