Triss [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. The narrator is a young European man who was hated by the Burmese people. His job as a Policeman worsened the hatred of him.

2. He was upset, sad, and angry at the treatment he received from the Burmese people.

Explanation:

In Shooting an Elephant, I could deduce that the narrator is a young European man who disliked his job and was hated by the Burmese people. The discrimination could be seen in his everyday life. When he went to play football, he was treated harshly by his playmates and referee.

On the streets, people sought to trap him and beat him up. The narrator was oppressed and the main reason could be attributed to his being a European. He secretly sided with the Burmese people and was against their British

Summarize the story Vera tells Mr. Nuttel which she says happened three years ago.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Vera tells the central character, Frampton Nuttel, that three years ago a great tragedy occurred in their family. According to Vera, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers set out for a day of shooting, and did not return. It was concluded that the three, along with their little spaniel, were engulfed in the treacherous bog; their bodies were never found. Vera tells Framton that her aunt, Mrs. Sappleton, speaks frequently about the day the three men and the dog purportedly met their demise, leaving the window through which they exited that day open, as if in expectation of their return. As Vera and Framton sit there by the open window, Vera shudders and tells the visitor that on "quiet evenings like this," she still gets a "creepy feeling that they will all walk in through the window."

Mrs. Sappleton comes in at this point, and, as expected, talks about her husband and brothers, whom she says have gone shooting but will be home soon, coming through the window as is their habit. Framton, who is in a delicate mental state, believes, because of what Vera has told him, that the men in question are dead, and that Mrs. Sappleton is delusional. Disturbed by the ghastly situation, Framton becomes completely unnerved when Mr. Sappleton, the two other men, and the spaniel do indeed appear at the window, and he bolts off in terror. Vera, of course, has misled Framton for her own amusement, and when the family wonders why their visitor has left so pricipitously, she dissembles further, saying that he was most likely afraid of the dog.
