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.
The essays I read presented different perspectives on the morality of keeping animals in captivity. The first essay “Only Elephants Need Apply” by Stu Bykofsky, talked about how logging was stopped, which left the owners and elephants jobless. The owners were responsible for providing their elephants with about 500 pounds of food a day with no source of income. The workers chose a practical path, even though it was sad. Many of the owners took their elephants to the crowded capital, Bangkok.
Government deception is the main theme in The Elephant but the theme in He-y Come on Ou-t is based on Ecological welfare of our world. The Elephant and He-y Come on Ou-t have different themes, but are also similar in many ways. The main idea of the short story The Elephant is the power of deceiving by the government. At the surface level, The Elephant is about a zoo in a small polish town attempts to save money, by buying a fake elephant, rather then getting a real one for the citizens to enjoy. Metaphorically, the short story is about a communist society which adequacies are overlooked because if exposed, reflects badly on the governing of the country.

The first chapter talks about the divided self and the conscious and automatic processes of the mind; he uses a metaphor of an elephant and a rider, the elephant being the unconscious and impulsive mind and the rider being the conscious mind trying to control the animal. It is impossible for the rider to control the elephant by force, instead it has to use will power and mental strength. Learning how to control and train the elephant is the main key to self-improvement. The second main idea talks about changing your mind and fighting the automatic reactions of the elephant that guides us throughout our lives. We don’t even notice but the elephant plays a very
In the novel by Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants, the major characters all face conflicts. For example, Uncle Al wrestles with the idea that his two-bit circus can make it as good as Ringlings', August struggles with his deep need for control, Marlena' conflict lies with her marriage to August and his disease, and Jacob's conflict is with August and his growing feelings for Marlena. But when the tent goes up and the audience fills the arena, the focus changes to there performances. Here's the only place where all charcters come together -- for the sake of the circus. Then there's Rosie the elepphant and the conflict she brings.
Not only is the logic of this assertion faulty; the telling of the story disproves it. For instance, does not Scar himself bring about change with the death of Mufasa? Scar was not born to power yet, once Mufasa is dead, he assumes power over the Pride Lands. The story may not have ended with Scar or the hyenas still in power but they certainly facilitated change through the transformation of the once regal land to barren ruins reminiscent of the elephant graveyard (The Lion King). It almost seems as if Lazarus has it in for the genre of animated children’s stories!
The Lorax Quick Write Response Andrew Pickard English 122, Semester 1 Mrs. D. Seymour October 1, 2014 Pickard 1 Andrew Pickard Mrs. D. Seymour English 122 1 October 2014 The Lorax Quick Write Response The opening scene of The Lorax features a city filled with citizens that are brainwashed into thinking they are living in a perfect utopian society. The townspeople sing about how joyous their lives are, but in reality they are living in a synthetic city with total corporate control- wastelands surrounding them on all sides. The residents are unaware of the harm they have caused to the outside environment, as their excessive consumerism has led to one company’s industrial revolution- a company with no regard to environmental responsibility. Though the setting of the film is absurdly fictitious, the issues faced in the film can be related to the real world we live in today. There is no mistaking that the target audience of the film is children, but there are many serious underlining themes found in The Lorax that are directed toward the mature population.
A person who has never traveled in a life is like a frog in the pound. A frog might imagine as if he is living in a ocean. Traveling broaden the people mind and more than seeing of sights from the ancient time. People travel across continent by ships and risk their lives to natural disasters in search of the new thing. It can change the ideas of living to the traveler and makes a traveler think deeply to understand other people culture, and ways of living.
Hidden In the City One comment for L’Enfant plan of Washington D.C. is that urban renewal is designed to “enlighten its inhabitants respecting their true interests” (10 Hallet). However, Washington D.C. that should respect every race and every citizen of U.S. fails to concern African Americans. This optimistic statement about urban renewal lures people from different states to believe that reconstruction of Washington D.C. would bring positive impact to any issue associated with its citizens. Therefore, people become blind to another side of Washington D.C. and its urban renewal. Urban renewal does not concern African Americans’ true interest but instead put them in a shadow.
