Question

"When I pulled the trigger I did not hear the bang or feel the kick—one never does when a shot goes home—but I heard the devilish roar of glee that went up from the crowd. In that instant, in too short a time, one would have thought, even for the bullet to get there, a mysterious, terrible change had come over the elephant." In three to five sentences, explain the methods used by the author to create sentence fluency and rhythm in this passage.

Answer 1

Explanation:

George Orwell was using concept of a sudden motion by describing the instant of pulling the trigger ''When I pulled the trigger I did not hear the bang..'' and because he is describing that he did not hear ''the bang'' when he did that, it explains that it was easy thing for him to pull the trigger or hurt someone.

He is using also a sense of imagery when he is describing his deed.
