Answer:

"Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell

The Europeans are presented as unnecessary despots, who foolishly portray themselves as lords, by imposing their rule over others, nothing realizing that they are becoming a laughing stock of the ruled. Imperialists all over history think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the people, whom they think they dominate.  Like masked people, who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices, Europeans must dance to the music that only the crowds know how best to play.

Explanation:

George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a Burmese colonial police officer, torn in-between loyalty to his official duty and the dictates of his conscience.  According to George Orwell, imperialism and colonialism attract the wicked man's reward: lack of appreciation.

TWENTY POINTS PLEASE GIVE ACTUAL ANSWER AND DONT JUST STEAL THE POINTS!!
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The main character, Montresor’s, detailing of events of revenge as a premeditated murder against Fortunato. The writer uses a form of flashback by mentioning the injury and insult inflicted by Fortunato upon Montresor in the beginning of the story to give explanation to the detailing of revenge. The writer also uses flashback in visualization of the events to come from Montresor’s planning of his revenge on Fortunato. Poe is using flashback to tell the entire story from 50 years after the tragedy has taken place. With the imagery the writer uses for visualization of each setting and events such as; their trip through the vaults and catacombs in search of the Amontillado throughout the story, he creates suspense at different intervals. Montresor gave Fortunato the opportunity to create conflict by giving him the option to turn back and not continue with their journey, but since he chose to continue on, conflict was essentially avoided until the “end” of their journey. The turning point of the story is when Fortunato realizes his predicament of being chained to the wall of the inner recess of the catacomb and bricked in, is not carried out in jest but in malice and his death is imminent.
