Shooting an Elephant Megan Dunn

George Orwell Orwell was born June 25 in 1903 and was born in Motihari, India. Most famous for his novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four

Theme People give in to peer pressure

Plot He was called to take care of this elephant that went on a rampage and he went to and it was calm. The people still wanted him to kill the elephant so he did just because they wanted him too.

Characters George Orwell The elephant

Conflict The conflict is an internal conflict between George and himself. He doesn’t want to shoot the elephant but does so the people will have food.

Resolution He regrets shooting the elephant.

Memorable Line “I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool.”

Interesting Fact You have to shoot the elephant in a certain place for it to die and even sometimes it wont die fast.

3 Questions I have Why would he give in to peer pressure like that? Why wasn’t the trainer looking for his elephant? Why couldn’t someone else take his gun and shoot the elephant since they wanted it to die?
