In the question number one, why do you think the Burmese were “jeering and tripping” Orwell up even though he was on their side? It’s entirely possible that they wanted to test his abilities by provoking him. On the second question, the fact that they had to rely on a totally unique person like Orwell calls for an analogy. Is he a god to the Burmeses’ eyes? In fact, he has an all-powerful tool to point at someone and kill on the command. God has the same power. How does this make them any different? In number four, Orwell “had to make a decision right there” to shoot an elephant leads to a completely new argument, why didn’t he simply walk away? It’s not his problem after all. In number six, no real gun is pointed at Orwell’s head at all, yet
