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.

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
