    In the essay “A Hanging‚” George Orwell objectively describes his experience as a witness to a state ordered killing. In doing so Orwell does not give readers a bias decision. I believe Orwell purposefully admits what crime the prisoner committed to get the reader to question whether we have the right to kill other human beings. Therefore‚ the morality of the situation is called in play rather than the author just describing the events as they happen. One does have to wonder how people could eat
