When Orwell fires the first and second shot the elephant did not hit the ground, only after the third shot did the elephant collapse. Orwell then tries to put the elephant out of its misery by firing his pistol several times, but the elephant still continued to live. 2. The first two paragraphs set the scene and tone for the readers to have a better understanding of the events that will happen. Orwell feels like an outcast rebel, he wants the Burmese to stand up against the British Empire.
From the very beginning of Shooting An Elephant, George Orwell demonstrates ambivalence through his affiliations with Imperialist Britain, his sense of self among the Burmese, and his ties to the elephant. In the second paragraph, Orwell says: “All I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred of the empire I served and my rage against the evil-spirited little beasts who tried to make my job impossible.” We learn early in the essay that Orwell hates imperialism and the Burmans, already making him ambivalent. Although Orwell hates being a British official, he has a constant need to feel important and needed by the Burmans. Therefore, he is excited when called to help with a loose elephant rampaging in the bazaar. Throughout the piece, we experience Orwell’s internal conflict between the imperialist police force he is working for, and the rude Burmans people he is forced to deal with on a daily basis.
Odysseus was all tired out and fell to the ground. His remaining men came over to him to thank him. Odysseus was in an odd trance and would not wake up. Odysseus’ men were confused by his situation and they started to get scared that he had a 50 disease that could not be cured. One of Odysseus’ men started shaking Odysseus and shouting, “master, master, please wake, we need you to get back, I do not want to die”!
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.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail The movie began with the King of the Britons who is named Arthur, he is in search of kings willing to sit with him at Camelot.

The tall blond twins had entered the massive conference room, a massive library with plush red couches and a hard tile floor. Hubba went forth and thoroughly greeted, bowed down and shook the hands of all the councilmen. Bubba, however, was not too professional on his performance. Simply closing his eyes, scared to meet in the eyes with these men, he shook their hands like a dead fish, shaking as if he were having a spasm. One time, he even accidentally slapped Admiral Akbar in his mussel, freaking the Admiral to shout “It’s a trap!” And then the troops rushed in with their blasters locked and loaded.
It may seem a bit ridiculous, but compared to some of his other inventions this was Nobel Prize winning science. Braunhut held 193 patents for such gems as X-Ray Spex (that didn't see through anything) and invisible goldfish (guaranteed to remain invisible, which is good, because we'd be pissed off if we found out we'd paid money for a temporarily invisible animal instead of, you know, NOTHING). Oh fuck, please turn invisible again. Braunhut continued to tinker with the formula for his entire life, trying to get sea monkeys that would grow larger and live longer. Even at the age of 75, Harold was still involved in the day to day running of his
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath Scared to rock the boat and make a mess So I sat quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything You held me down, but I got up (hey!)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh

He is illustrated as big and mean, as he wanted to be for a change. 2. What happens to the monkey king each time he is laughed at by another god? Can you connect this to question 1 from ch.1? He gets even more mad, and yes because everyone laughs at him in ch.
