Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are often referred to as Scandinavia. Mary Wollstonecraft spent time in all three countries when she was desperately trying to win back Gilbert Imlay after he abandoned her and his child, Fanny. She was on the hunt for a stolen treasure ship, hoping that this would prove something to Imlay. Nothing came of this venture, both romantically and in the sense of treasure.

When Orwell moved to London he was only about one year old. He moved with his om and older sister, as his father stayed home and worked in Burma. Orwell spent most of his life in London.

University College Hospital was one of the most important places in Orwell’s life. It is where he was placed when he was first found sick with tuberculosis. It is where he married his second wife, Sonia Bronwell. And it is where he eventually passed away on January 21^st, 1950.

Orwell went to fight for the POUM, a branch of the Republic Army during the Spanish Civil war that was specifically anti-Stalin. Orwell was shot in the throat during battle, but he was able to recover. This battle changed Orwell’s perspective and writing, as it was almost all anti-totalitarianism text.

 After dropping out of school, Orwell joined a police force that was set to watch over British colonies that were not connected to modern-day England. Orwell was sent to Burma where he witnessed lots of corruption. He later wrote his first novel titled, Burmese Days in which he used his own experiences to detail all of the corruption within the government.
