The narrator indicated negative feelings all throughout the story. He did not acknowledge how the Burmese people mock him and disrespect him. However, he identifies them because of pitiless treatment they get from the British. He gets the opportunity to prove himself by shooting an elephant. He knew the elephant was a pure creature and he did not want to do it, but was forced to and was upset when he did do it.
The elephant symbolized guilt that robbed its life since it was far as anyone knows a threat to the population as a whole, however it was not ready to shield itself. Shooting an Elephant'e.stic. Erimplistic. Errors in conventions.aretten using correct English conventions.sentences.
Comparison to Political Cartoon
In this political cartoon, the Chinese authority is throwing his hands up as if he was angry and dissatisfied because he cannot prevent the settlers from dividing China. The colonists holding knifes ignore him, conflicting and how the Burmese overlooked the narrator. Queen Victoria of England and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany are arguing over what piece of this huge “pizza” they wanted.
Britain is represented by Queen Victoria, Germany is represented by Kaiser Wilhelm II, Russia is represented by Czar Nicholas II of Russia, Japan is represented by sovereign, and France is represented by a woman.
The Chinese authority is frantically waving his arms around showing us that he is scared. Queen Victoria is surprised as Kaiser Wilhelm II drives a cut to the “pizza”, speaking to Germany’s forceful partialities. Czar Nicholas II, the sovereign of Japan, and the woman from France are just thinking and debating on which piece they want. China was taking prisoner by these other countries.
The “pizza” that the radicals are cutting into is named as “Chine” which is French for China. The artist uses to create imagery to show the supposition by presenting China as a “pizza” because effective countries are dividing is among themselves
