Young Orwell sets the tone of how he is torn between doing his job and doing what was morally and ethically right. (shooting the elephant or letting it live) 3.

An out of control elephant was ravaging the bazaar. So he loads up his rifle, which he says is “too small to kill an elephant, but the noise might be useful for scaring him off” (Orwell, 1936) In my opinion, the right thing to do because I do not condone the killing of helpless animals, if the situation can be controlled. As soon as Orwell gets to the elephant, after some gruesome images of a coolie being trampled by the elephant, he has to make up his mind whether or not to shoot the elephant, which is minding its own business by now in a field a few yards away. Now as the natives and townspeople are following him, basically egging him on to shoot the elephant. Something he clearly does not want to do, he feels the pressures of looking like a fool versus not.

Machiavellian intelligence is a form of social intelligence that occurs within large groups and involves the use of deception and the formation of coalitions in order to gain an advantage. According to Maestripieri (2007) in terms of intelligence in non-human animals this can be seen most clearly in rhesus macaques, a type of monkey that like humans have strong tendencies for nepotism and political manoeuvring. Rhesus macaques live in complex and hierarchical societies, where individuals constantly compete for the high social status of alpha male and the power that comes with it. Alpha males use threats and violence to hold on to the safest sleeping places, the best food and access to the females in the group with whom they want to have sex. Less powerful members of the rhesus macaque group are marginalised and forced to live on the edge of the group’s area, where they are vulnerable to predator attacks.

The Monkey King’s arrogance and feud with the King of Heaven had landed him under a pile of rocks for 500 years (Yang, American Born Chinese 84). His only way to freedom came from a humble monk sent by the King. The Monkey Kings charge was to reconcile the fact that he was indeed a monkey, to accept being the monks disciple, and to “return to your true form and you shall be freed” (Yang, American Born Chinese 145). He stubbornly refused, causing the monk to be in grave danger. As a last chance at freedom, the Monkey King returned to his true identity, saved the monk, obtained his freedom, and happily served the monk and the King of Heaven faithfully.
