I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>

Hit by pitch:
In baseball, hit by pitch (HBP) is a situation in which a batter or his clothing or equipment (other than his bat) is struck directly by a pitch from the pitcher; the batter is called a hit batsman (HB). A hit batsman is awarded first base, provided that (in the plate umpire's judgment) he made an honest effort to avoid the pitch, although failure to do so is rarely called by an umpire. Being hit by a pitch is often caused by a batter standing too close to, or "crowding", home plate.
Records:
The all-time record for pitchers is held by Gus Weyhing with 277 (1887–1901). The modern-era career pitching record for most hit batsmen is 205 by Hall-of-Famer Walter Johnson. The season record is 54 by Phil Knell in 1891, and the game record is six, held by Ed Knouff and John Grimes.[8] Brady Anderson was the first player to be hit by a pitch two times in the same inning in an American League game. On April 25, 2014, Brandon Moss became the second when he was hit twice in the top of the 9th inning by Houston Astros pitchers. Five players have been hit by a pitch twice in the same inning in the National League.
