Orwell uses language effectively to illustrate the abject poverty in northern England.
His narration illustrates the reality of poverty in the country, laying the ground for intervention. Due to the nature of his research, Orwell presented a clear understanding of his subject matter by relating his observations with experiences (Amundsen 2016). Additionally, Orwell considered himself is an ethnographer seeking truth through experiencing afflictions with other people, in this case, the coal miners. The author identifies the difficulty encountered in trying to maintain hygiene without water or even a toilet. Additionally, the author sympathetically analyses the living conditions of women and children loitering in shacks and hurdling in tiny rooms. Orwell watches as families without any income struggle to find scraps of coals from dumping grounds (Mcdonald 2016).
He documents his experiences and those of the working class. Orwells’ investigation leads him to live among the poor for some time.
