"spikes" were the colloquial names for workhouses in england back in the 30's... this story takes place in a spike
A novel by George Orwell
Shooting An Elephant is a work of creative non-fiction, so while the details likely come from Orwell's imagination rather than an uncanny ability to recall details, the story is, on the whole, factual. Recreational elephant hunting was not unheard of in India during the time the story takes place.
the word Orwellian relates to George Orwell who achieved prominence in the late 1940's
George Orwell was inspired to write "Animal Farm" by his observations of the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism in the Soviet Union. The story is an allegorical critique of totalitarianism and political corruption, using animals on a farm to represent different aspects of society and government. Orwell aimed to highlight the dangers of political power and the manipulation of language for propaganda purposes.
Eric Blair (aka - George Orwell) changed his name in 1933 - his new pen name stressed his deep and lifelong affection for the English tradition and countryside - George V was monarch at this time and the River Orwell (located in the County in which he lived) was one of Eric's favorite visiting spots. he was bored of his other name,i mean come on,who likes that name?

Oh, dude, no way! Tony Blair and George Orwell are not related, like at all. It's like asking if apples and oranges are cousins because they're both fruits. Blair was a former UK Prime Minister, and Orwell was a famous author - they're as related as a pineapple and a bicycle.
You can unscrew the end cap. Then the spring will come out and the spike itself. You can release the spike by pressing the firing button and pulling it out. It consists of 3 parts, the housing, the spring and the spike. Hope it helped ;)
it is, on bravo on saturdays and spike on Thursday
"George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is not just an attack on the Soviet Union, but also a criticism of Hitler's German Nazi Regime."He was aware of social injustice, opposed totalitarianism, and belief in democratic socialism.According to John McNair during an Interview with Ian Angus UCL 1964, Orwell is quoted as saying I've come to fight against Fascism" when he went to Spain to aide in the Spanish civil war against the fascists. This would tend to indicate that he was anti-NAZI.
