Use the books slaughter house-five by kurt vonnegut and animal farm by george orwell
Following World War II, George Orwell wanted to write a novel about the rise of authoritarianism, particularly in the Soviet Union. But instead of writing about Russia, he decided to write a short allegorical novel about a bunch of farm animals overthrowing their farmer and trying to establish a more equal society. After this novel, Orwell wrote his greatest work, 1984, also about the rise of totalitarianism, but this time he decided to use science fiction as his mode.
Similarly, following his experiences in the War, Kurt Vonnegut decided that he wanted to write a book about his experience during the firebombing of Dresden. Like Orwell, he decided that directly writing about the experience would fail his purpose, so instead, he wrote a postmodern novel featuring time travel and aliens.
In both of these cases, the author decided that writing directly about a topic was not the best way to achieve their purposes. In five paragraphs, write an essay about one or both of the novels exploring whether the author’s choice to write about their topic indirectly was an effective means to communicate their central ideas.
