In "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, the narrator's real reason for shooting the elephant is that he does not want to appear foolish.

Explanation: The narrator was followed by a crowd to the elephant that was rampaging. Even though it was legal, he felt that the elephant did not need to be killed because it was sleeping peacefully. He felt pressured by the crowd, who watched and urged him to kill the elephant. In the end, he says, "I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid  looking a fool".

1. In Chapter 1 of The Blind Side, what is the significance of former football player Lawrence Taylor both to the title itself a
sveta [45]

Answer:

Lawrence Taylor's act of successfully and painfully sacking Joe Theismann led to a new structure and pattern/ concept of hiring stronger, bulkier bigger linemen to see to the blindside of the quarterback.

The "blindside" in football is the 'unnoticed' side of a player's eyesight view, which is the left side for a right-handed quarterback and right for a left-handed quarterback. This area is to be protected by the linemen while the quarterback attempts to throw the ball.

Explanation:

Michael Lewis's book "The Blind Side," tells the true story of impoverished Michael Oher and his rise to becoming one of the most wanted linemen in league history. This book also became an Oscar award movie and led to a massive change in the way football players are recruited, especially the offensive linemen position.

Chapter 1 of the book focuses on the game of football between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. And in this game, Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor sacked Redskins' quarterback Joe Theismann, breaking his bones so much that his career in football was destroyed. And with numerous instances of Taylor's sacking of numerous other players, the need to rethink the role of the linemen who are on the blind side of the player began to emerge. Taylor, thus, led to the new perspective of coaches and teams hiring stronger and bulkier offensive linemen.

The "blind side" in the game of football is the left side of a right-handed quarterback's (or vice versa) which is not visible to them when he turns to throw the ball. It is here that the linemen have the important duty of making sure the quarterback is safe from any 'attack' or tackling.

Write a report account to your new headteacher on how your school prefect was elected.​
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Responsibility. I loved taking on challenges, leading, and helping others. To me, being a prefect was a joy. I chose to go to the hardest dorm to prefect (the younger kids’ dorms) for my prefecting years. These kids often struggled with simple things like laundry and keeping to a good study/play schedule as well as were constantly home sick. I loved helping them establish a strong base to progress through high school with and making them feel welcome.

Working with School Leadership. As a young adult, I relished the opportunity to work with the adults in charge of my school. As a prefect, I had lots of time to talk to, spend time with , and learn from them. It is also a great way to get letters of reference from teachers…

Self-improvement. By volunteering myself as a figurehead for younger kids, I force myself to improve every day for them. I have to learn how to reinforce positive habits and weed out negative ones. I needed to learn to work with people with drastically different goals and perspectives.

Explanation:

In essence, leadership, responsibility, and self improvement.
