English

Hello. You forgot to say that Part A asked what was the central theme of "Shooting an elephant". The central theme is the violence and destruction capacity of British imperialism.

Answer:

“but in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of those yellow faces behind. I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys.”

Explanation:

"Shooting an elephant" is a narrative essay written by George Orwell recounting the reports and the internal conflict he went through when he was a police officer from British Raj in colonial Burma. Although Orwell is a representative and promoter of British expansion, he understands that imperialism is a destructive, violent and cruel situation, being able to harm even the imperialists themselves. This is the main theme of the narrative and can be strengthened through the passage: “but in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of those yellow faces behind. I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys.”

ziro4ka [17]

When John Denver testified at the Senate in 1985, he was really upset that the lyrics in his song "Rocky Mountain High" were misinterpreted as drug related lyrics by people who had never been to the Rocky Mountains. For him, suppression of society begins with censorship of spoken and written word, as it happened in Nazi Germany, and it mustn't be tolerated in any democratic society. People should be free to choose what content they want them and their children to access to, and artists should be free to express themselves in any way they feel like to.

Thus, although he was strongly against any kind of censorship, he considered that there was a need for the creation of a national panel to review lyrics so that artists wouldn't get banned in vain, since this affected their reputation and work. The panel should only warn the consumer of such content.
