Litcharts Study Guide To Shooting An Elephant
When going to kill this animal he recalls that the elephant is essentially worth nothing if it is dead, but is worth more if it is brought back alive, it is frustrating how he see’s this elephant as money rather than a harmless animal, similarly to how the “ British saw Burma as a valuable piece of property—another metaphorical link between the elephant and colonialism.” ("The LitCharts Study Guide to Shooting an Elephant."

    Analyzing the Rhetoric Strategies of Shooting the Elepthant by George Orwell

    “Shooting an Elephant” was written by George Orwell, and it describes an incident he experienced during the time he spent in a small town in India, as a police officer serving the British Empire. I found the writing interesting because of Orwell’s use of rhetorical strategies that slowly build up to the conclusion of the story, along with the peak of the action. The story ends in a detailed description of an anecdote Orwell thought of while shooting the elephant that was terrorizing the town he was positioned in. Throughout the writing, we can find different rhetorical strategies that indicate Orwell’s very careful choice of different images to get his message through.…

    Shooting An Elephant Rhetorical Analysis

    During the time of imperialistic rule, rich empires were able to take over those of lesser value and benefit from their resources. This is the exact situation going on in Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell; the British had taken over the Burmese. Through Orwell’s use of stylistic and rhetorical strategies, he conveys the inferior attitude he has towards himself and the trapped, conflicted attitude he feels towards his position in Burma, which both stem from the negative aspects of imperialism.…

    Yup This is IT

    Orwell responds to the call, taking his rifle, “an old 44 Winchester and much too small to kill an elephant” (2845 Orwell) in hopes of frightening it with the noise. This elephant was not wild, but normally tame and broke loose due to sexual desire. This first action is just an exercise of authority in maintaining order; however, in seeing a dead native victim he requests an elephant rifle and five cartridges. This is when the Burmese become quite excited and an “immense crowd of two thousand” (2846 Orwell) follow him. They believe that the imperial police officer is going to shoot the elephant when, in actuality, he just wanted to defend himself from becoming another devilish corpse.…

    Monuments To Our Better Nature Analysis

    A young Michael Byers in great detail states that “The stuffed African elephant on its circular dais in the rotunda was composed of billions of skin cells and tiny cilia, and its ivory tusks wore an unfalsifiable brown patina of age.” (73) Young Michael Byers uses very descriptive words to share his admiration with us. How amazing is what he is witnessing, the elephant is really old and the brown patina stands as proof of its age. But as an adult he merely says that “There were ten million African elephants in 1930, and that now there are only thirty-five thousand” they were once great but know they are almost gone.…

(para. 4) The officer realizes the crowd is excited at the thought he is going to kill this elephant. Killing the elephant would provide entertainment and food for them. At the bottom of the hill the officer and crowd behind see the elephant across the road "peacefully eating." The officer knows the elephant has passed it's stage of "must" and not to shoot it. He decides to observe the elephant to see if the state of "must" has truly passed instead of shooting it. (para. 5 & 6) The officer has made up his mind until he "glances" at the immense crowd cheering him on and feels uneasy about his decision.

    Shooting An Elephant Greed

    The degrading of the Burmese shows the lack of humanity of the British Empire, no human would ever degrade another human in such a manner. In losing their humanity, the British become mere “absurd puppet[s] pushed to and fro by the will of [others]”; they only have the shape of a human, but they do not have anything inside of them, a heart, morals or otherwise. The downfall of the Empire is expressed in the death of the elephant. The elephant is a metaphor for the empire, as shown by how “the Burmese were quite helpless against it” and by the destruction the elephant causes in the village which is a parallel to the destruction that the empire as a whole wrecked on the country of Burma. By shooting…

    Shooting An Elephant Dilemma

    The protagonist and narrator of "Shooting an Elephant" made a decision that many would consider unjust. He shot and killed and elephant. Looking from the outside in, it would look as if he was a terrible person from what he did, for a vast amount of people consider the act wrong morally. Although, one must take in his intentions of the act too. He never wanted, nor planned, to kill the elephant. The Burmese people rooting him on seemed irrefutable, and he felt as if he was doing what they wanted him to. That contradicts the idea that the narrator of this story was a monstrous person because he shot an elephant.…

    Shooting An Elephant

    As he sees more and more destruction, he sends a local to get a friends elephant rifle. He does this because the gun that he had brought is not powerful enough to kill an elephant. This point is where the character changes, possibly for the worst. When he gets the rifle he goes and searches for the beast. One of the locals tells him that the elephant is down in the rice patty. The quote “They had seen the rifle and where all shouting excitedly that I was going to kill the elephant.” Shows how the locals are trying to make the officer think that he should kill the beast. This point in the story the main character slowly being changed from the beginning of the story. You can tell that the he does not want to kill the elephant but more that he thinks that he has to kill the elephant. He thinks this because as he moves down to the patty the elephant is just slapping its self with grass across the knees; but 2000 locals standing behind him give him a vibe that he should shoot the beast. He thinks this because if he didn’t shoot the elephant, and the elephant went wild, he would have possible been laughed at. he believes that there is only one alternative, and that is when he shoved the cartridge into the magazine and lays down on the road to get a better aim. “When I pulled the trigger I did not hear the nag or feel the kick-one never does when a shot goes home-but I heard the devilish…
