Big brother is watching you

We are being stared at like animals in a zoo, with our superior force as we call big male relation.

It was a bright cold day in April.

In the month of April, which comes before June, the frost was forming my judgement into believing it was a cold bright and illuminating 24 hour section of the year.

Reflection

Orwell was suspicious of language which broke his five rules. It would seem, that language which brakes these rules changes the power behind them. For example the use of passive instead of active is a more indirect form of taking responsibility.
Secondly breaking these rules could make language which could be used In comedy or in law, and so writing a book about propaganda and superior authority with mayhem everywhere has no margin for error when it comes to the language type which must be used when describing this.
