Abstract
This paper analyzes Lucy Vogel’s literary journey from early childhood to early college. Deborah Brandt’s definition of literacy sponsors is a key component of the overarching theme of the paper, which is the effect of George Orwell’s literary sponsorship on Vogel’s personal reading journey. Furthermore, novels like “Animal Farm” and “Brave New World” are discussed to illustrate how Vogel’s analysis of literature evolved throughout her life. Additionally, Vogel exemplifies how being from China affects her view of Orwell’s novel. Finally, the essay ties Vogel's analysis of “Animal Farm”, literacy sponsorship, and her Chinese origin to Orwell and his impact on her perspective.
