A renowned novelist and former imperial policeman, George Orwell, in his essay, Shooting an Elephant (1936), addresses the problems of imperialism. He argues that imperializing others, specifically Burma, will force the colonists to lose their own conscience and freedom. Orwell utilizes a variety of rhetorical elements throughout his essay to help bolster his claim. Firstly, Orwell uses first person perspective to showcase his experiences in order to establish his credibility. He then uses word choice

dictates what decisions we make. The bigger the crowd, often times equals more pressure. The biographical short story, Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell, explains this in finer detail. In the story Orwell exclaims, ¨It seemed to me that it would be a murder to shoot him¨ (137). Orwell was a peaceful man, driven by the insane, yellow faces of Burma. George Orwell’s original thought being it would not be human to shoot an elephant, was swapped around by the Burmese as he sweat at the thought of murdering

Demagoguery is polarizing propaganda that motivates members of an ingroup to hate and scapegoat some outgroups. In the two speeches “Inaugural Address” by Governor George Wallace, and “Share Our Wealth” by Senator Huey Long, both use similar demagoguery strategies. The Governor of Alabama George Wallace gave speech while entering office, argued that Alabama deserves the “freedom” to stay segregated. As then Senator of Louisiana Huey Long gave his speech with a insight to get Americans out of the

These two methods of bringing forth an idea is how Coretta Scott King and George Orwell developed their idea of tyranny and breaking unfair rules. In the book Animal Farm, George Orwell uses time in order to develop his ideas about how the Russian revolution went. George sprinkles the idea of tyranny down slowly in order to create characters that keep on breaking their own rules. At first the story starts

purpose of his writing. He gives details about his life and what lead him to be the famous writer he is today. Furthermore, The author wrote ¨politics and language¨ to discuss about his view of politics and the way English should be written. George Orwell's novel Animal Farm is about mistreated animals that overpower their farmers and took control. However, it is also a political allegory of the Russian revolution.Orwell wrote animal farm in response to what happen in the Russian revolution

The term “rule” means “one of a set of explicit principles governing conduct within a particular activity” Sometimes these rules need to be bent for growth to occur. A Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, and Animal Farm ,by George Orwell, provide a clear explanation of when it is benefitting to take a stand against the rules. In the novel Animal Farm, the animals revolt against Mr. Jones, the farmer, and then end up under the rule of a tyrant pig named Napoleon. In A Brave New World, A revolutionary

Through reading and writing literature we use our brains to think abstractly about, and dive deeper into, common ideas. On the surface, George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant” tells the story of the struggle between those who rule and those who are ruled over, while personifying this struggle through the narrator and his internal struggle. I would argue that more can be taken from this essay and applied to make a lasting impact on the heart of a young person. We live in world where young adults are

Getting in Their Heads This short narration is really interesting because why would a man George Orwell choose to write about literally shooting an elephant? There had to be more to it just like a few things in life. Since he wrote this during the British imperialism there had to be more to it. The story takes place in Myanmar (Burma in the story) and the location matters because it’s so precise.

By confronting his own mortality, Broyard learns more about life and gains a greater appreciation for it. Is it only possible to learn to appreciate our lives

Napoleon was a pig in more than one sense. Words that you associate with pigs are not often pleasant. ‘Pig' referring to one who is greedy and has more than their fair share; ‘pig headed' refers to one who is extremely stubborn and thinks they are always right; ‘the pigs' refer to police, or other figures of authority. Napoleon became dictator of Animal Farm merely due to the fact that he was a pig, and had the simplest of leadership skills. He maintained that power by propaganda and running the
