In the story of “Shooting an Elephant”, when the narrator views the body of the Burmese man who had been creased to death in a crucifix-styled posture, he has an overwhelming attack of conscience. The narrator realizes that just like the Burmese man, the elephant had been crucified, as well, and it does not appease the narrator that his killing the elephant was within legal parameters.The narrator apprehends that the law and conscience are often not well-matched. He is there in an official capability and is hated for it by the Burmese. He equally has hated them for their anger. Yet, when he allows his morality to surface, he understands that he is part of the structure that is there to tyrannize the Burmese. The fact that he holds a position of authority does not essentially make it a moral duty. This is true of his killing the elephant. He did not want to lose face in front of the Burmese, and he was legally justified in killing it, but morally he knows that it was actually morally wrong.
He is recounting his most recent battle because Odyssey deals with Odysseus' return home after the wars and it is an introduction to his story.
Answer: The narrator of The Great Gatsby is a young man from Minnesota named Nick Carraway. He not only narrates the story but casts himself as the book’s author. He begins by commenting on himself, stating that he learned from his father to reserve judgment about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. He characterizes himself as both highly moral and highly tolerant. He briefly mentions the hero of his story, Gatsby, saying that Gatsby represented everything he scorns, but that he exempts Gatsby completely from his usual judgments. Gatsby’s personality was nothing short of “gorgeous.”

Answer: In the first stanza, the poet's tone is sad and serious, disturbed, at not seeing anyone like herself in the magazines. She seems ashamed to be black.
In the second stanza the poet's word choices show a sense of pride: queenly, honey-colored, bronzed skin... The tone has shifted to confident and joyful. The images she describes-- nappy hair, thick lips... purple lips, shining pearls-- are part of who she is, and make her proud to be black, and should inspire the reader to see black as beautiful too.
