Suggested Reference Books [SRB]

Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of
the high Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport.
The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal
commercial centers of Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was
the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550
to 1660. It was captured by the French in 1912, when its modern
growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters.
Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited to winter months. The city
was formerly also called Morocco.
Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea
and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the
Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in
1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber
tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since.
The Arabs invaded Morocco in the 7thcentury, bringing with
them Islam. From the end of the 17thcentury until the early 19th
century Morocco was almost entirely free from foreign influence.
But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement divided Morocco into
4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956 and
became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member
of the United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the
Organization of African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers
(70%)who try to grow their own food. They often use camels,
donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few
tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert.
II. Questions on content:
1. Instead of telling the reader that the natives are poor,
Orwell shows poverty in at least five ways. Identify them.
Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the
burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of
the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable
lives of the Jews in the ghettoes (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e)
the old women carrying fire wood.
2. How are people buried in Marrakech?
See paragraphs 1 and 2
3. Explain the sentence, "All colonial empires are in reality
founded upon that fact." (para 3)
All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the
people in the colonies as animals instead of as human beings.
4. What do you think medieval ghettoes were like?
Medieval ghettoes were probably like the Jewish quarters in
Marrakech--overcrowded, thousands of people living in a narrow
street, houses completely windowless, and the whole area dirty
and unhygienic.
5. Why does the writer say, "A good job. Hitler wasn't here"?
If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred
大规模屠杀.
6. What kind of people, according to Orwell, are partly
invisible? Why does he stress this point?
Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s
only because of this that the
starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist
resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on
