<span>"The neighbour feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be head of his family; if there was a man in the world whom he detested and wished ill to it was Georg Znaeym, the inheritor of the quarrel and the tireless game-snatcher and raider of the disputed border-forest."</span>
Most likely Washington DC as it stands as the capital and easiest target to attack.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is short story that was written by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman and it was published in 1982. The main purpose of this story was to expose the way that women were viewed and treated during the 19th century, especially when it came to mental and physical health issues. Written in the first person, the story is related in a series of journal entries, in which the main character, whose name we do not learn, tells of the circumstances that surround her when her husband, John decides to move them somehwere where he thinks his wife, the narrator, will be able to be cured from what he terms: temporary nervous depression. So they move to a mansion with Jennie, John´s sister, and settle into a room that had once been a nursery with yellow wallpaper that has been badly scratched. As time passes, the narrator focuses on the wallpaper more and more, until she begins seeing the form of a woman in there. In the end, John comes home one day and after unlocking the door to the room, finds his wife crouched against it, circling it and when she sees him she tells him that she has finally been able to break free despite him and Jane. John passes out and the narrator continues circling the walls without a care. In this excerpt of the story, the narrator is: B: she feels an overwhelming responsibility to meet society´s expectations, because, through the words she uses and the expression, the narrator shows how much shame she feels that her situation, her condition, prevents her from doing what socially she should be doing, which is becoming a support for her husband.
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>
