Research Paper Part 2

I think that the 2nd part of the assignment won't be too hard. All we have to do is write 4 paragraphs about 2 different analysis'. I'm not really looking forward to the last part though.

the final exam.

i think that the exam is really going to help with our essay writing skills? and to put more detail into our thoughts and really get us to know a lot more about authors and how they use alot of their life in their own story. :) it's interesting.

shooting elephant.

this story had alot more meaning than i thought, and the underlying thought was much more meaniningful to the author as long as the audience as well. i really liked how many things in this story seemed to have double meaning, and even though that power point had alot of redudant questions it was still helpful to figure out the full meaning of the story and get more of a grasp.

Shooting An Elephant

When I first read this I didn't really think that deeply into it but after looking back on it, it shows a lot of societal issues. The natives were poor and the British man was known as the upper class, but in the end, the large mass of natives ended up controlling him. He was pressured into killing the elephant because he did not want to look like a fool.
