(Three Messages From Shooting An Elephant by George Orwell)
Whoa! Look at that elephant man! Wow, it’s so massive bro! That thing can like squish all our enemies within a single stomp! Dude, you’re right it could! What are you boys doing? Watching this massive elephant, what are you doing? Well, I’m here to take that beast 's life. WHAT?! Yep, sadly I have to take that there animal 's life. Why? Why, do you have to take this here animal 's life? That 's not cool at all bro! What has this elephant done to deserve to die?! It hasn’t done anything, you boys are just too young to understand why this needs to be done, now, run along and find your moms you don’t want to see this, as much as I don’t want to do …show more content…
No one likes to look foolish, especially in front of a lot of people, especially, in front of a lot of people who always laugh at you and who hate you already. Course, everyone tries their hardest to make everyone like them, but sometimes people go way too far to impress others so they will quit laughing at them. In the story Shooting an Elephant, George Orwell has been hated, laughed at and picked on by the Burmans and when it came time to shooting down the elephant that had terrorized the town because it was “must” time and was able to break out of its chains. When an elephant is in “must” they can get very aggressive and are unapproachable and if approached can and most likely will kill anyone who is stupid enough to approach the elephant. When he was in Burma someone got in the elephant 's way and was squashed in the mud and because of the death he had to go after the elephant, but when he saw the elephant in the meadow he didn’t want to shoot it, but he knew that he had to do something because a crowd of people started to follow him and before he knew it over 2000 people were behind him, watching him. If he let the elephant go he would be hated even more and laughed at even more, but if he shot the elephant then they would respect him more and less hated, so, in this predicament he shot the elephant so they would …show more content…
George Orwell found out after he killed the elephant he regretted it. Many people feel awful and regret after they killed an innocent animal that haven’t done anything to anyone. When George Orwell was in Burma he was a police officer, attempting to keep the peace, had a rogue elephant on the loose and destroyed many homes and killed a person by stomping on him. When he saw the elephant in the meadow he was having a time where he thought “Should I kill this animal? It’s not doing anything. All it 's doing is eating, it’s not harming anyone or anything.” When he had these thoughts going through his head, people kept coming and coming and coming to see if he was going to kill the elephant and serve not just justice throughout the village, but also allow them to have a feast on the dead animal 's carcass when he kills the elephant. The decision that he made was a very sad one, he killed the elephant and served not just “justice”, but a meal for all the people in the village. Course, since it was such a big animal it didn’t die so easily, in fact, even after he shot it so many times it didn’t die no matter what or where he shot the elephant the elephant didn’t die, it just kept on breathing and breathing. When he couldn’t take seeing it suffer any longer he left and let the Burmans take over the elephant. When all was said and done, he thought about the elephant and slowly regret started to course through his veins. “In the end, I could not stand it any longer and
