There are two main reasons why the police officer decided to shoot the elephant in "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell. However, weakness is not one of these.

The first reason for the police officer to shoot the elephant was because of his sense of duty. He knows that this is the job he is expected to perform, and although he is upset about it, he wants to fulfill his duty.

The second reason is that the police officer was worried about showing compassion in front of the Burmese. He argues that the British empire must appear strong and decisive in front of the people they have colonized. Therefore, he does not want the locals to see any hesitation on his part.

What should audience members ask themselves when they evaluate how an actor interprets a character? Check all that apply.
pychu [463]

In order to evaluate how an actor interprets a character it is important for the audience to ask themselves these three things:

1. Which words does the actor emphasize? <em>(1)</em>

  • This helps the audience identify which words the actor thinks are most important to help establish the tone and meaning of the character's words.

2. What gestures and movements does the actor make? (5)

  • People often say that actions speak louder than words, so how the actor portrays the character's non-verbals shows a lot about how the actor believes the character to be.

3. What emotions does the actor convey? (6)

  • The characters in the story show different emotions that go along with the storyline or help explain something unwritten. So, when an actor shows emotions they are helping to evolve the character within the story.

The other options: "What makes this a talented actor?", "How old is the actor?" , and "In what other productions has the actor appeared?" do not have to do with how the character is interpreted, but rather the actor themselves or the casting for the character.

ruslelena [56]

Karen Thompson states that fear can actually guide us and instead of calling it fear, we should call it stories, because everyone is the readers and authors of their fears.

Explanation:

Karen Thompson Walker, one of the best selling author in one of her TED Talk 'What Fear Can Teach Us' propsed that fear can actually help us to prepare for the future events and make us more calm if we work at to listen to our fear.

Karen states that the right kind of fear can push our imagination. She says that a person should learn to reflect on thier fears rather than reacting. Every fear teaches us something, Karen wants us to ask this question as to 'Perhaps what this fear is teaching me?' and we have halfway conquered our fear.
