Goerge Orwell, in Politics and the English Language, demonstrates how to

effectively express oneself with written language. To do so, Orwell states the
dos and donts of effective writing. Because the rules for writing effectively are
so complex, Orwell utilizes parallel structure to make the body structure of his
essay more cohesive: it has nothing to do with archaism it is especially
concerned with the scrapping of It has nothing to do with correct grammar it
is not concerned with Nor does it even imply though it does imply
(Orwell). Orwell interlaces multiple parallel structures to give the body both unity
and a back-and-forth feel that keeps the audience on their toes. If he had not
done so, his arguments would have quickly become repetitive and monotonous.
Although Orwell specifically states that correct grammar and syntax are of no
importance, one can see that he has gone to great lengths to achieve an
engaging effect through syntax. The back-and-forth action of the body
paragraphs and his self-contradiction alludes to a rule he introduces later in the
writing: Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous
(Orwell). He then goes on to break a number of his previously stated rules, some
more blatantly than others: send some worn-out and useless phrase into
the dustbin (Orwell). He also uses polysyllabic diction at some points, though he
expressly states to Never use a long word where a short one will do. His
contradiction of himself may at first leave some readers puzzled, but ultimately
establishes the concept that a writer should not be afraid to break conventions to
make a point.
