Which detail from the text best supports the answer to part A? Shooting an elephant

English
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago
4 0

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.”

In "Grass," what attitude does the grass express toward the dead?
Ainat [17]
"Grass" is actually a poem that was written by Carl Sandburg. This is a poem in which he has published right after the World War I which is in the year 1918. Based on this poem, you can sense an unforgiving tone in it. Therefore, I can say that the attitude that the author expresses is "anger". Hope this answer helps.

Can someone please help me write a short story:) doesn’t have to be that long
drek231 [11]
I was sitting down on the plane at the window seat . I looked out the window and I froze. I knew I was afraid of heights, but not this much. I wanted to sit by my Mom, but I can’t because apparently I have a act like a adult because little brother got to sit next to my mom. By little I mean born 1 minute after me, because we’re twins. I asked the man seating beside me,” Excuse me, Sir.” However instead of getting up and letting me walk he replied,”What’s the reason, kid,” in a deep tone, as if he was mad at me . I said,” None of your business.” That really got to him so he put a bag on top of me. I was about to scream, but he got this tape from thin air and taped my mouth. When we got off the plane, he took me. That’s when the security guard caught him off guard and now he got arrested, and I reunited with my family.
