Essays on Elephant

. This essay on Orwell’s work in question will seek to examine the striking theme of guilt and shame as depicted by the author in his writing, as well as the painful, contradictory nature of his own feelings versus actions.

The essay will examine three aspects of the essay in relation to guilt and ...

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman”

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman” The short story, Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway, and the poem, Black Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson, both focus on the struggle a woman experiences when contemplating an abortion. While both were written around the same time—“Hills Like White Elephants” in 1927 and “Black Woman” in 1918, each features characters that offer differing, distinct views of the issues surrounding the decision. This is in no small part because their lives are dramatically different, thanks to issues of race and socioeconomic status. The ...

Shooting an Elephant- Response Essay

Introduction George Orwell’s -- Shooting an Elephant provides an insight into one day experience of George Orwell as a young British policeman working for Indian Imperial Police in Burma. I was interested in Orwell’s work as it provides a look into the moral conscience of an individual deciding to either kill an elephant or let it live. The story makes me think how taking a life can be emotionally challenging for an individual, even though it can be legal and part of your job. After discovering that an elephant had gone must and finding the elephant in ...

Doors in Lodato’s “Jack, July”

Of the many resources that a writer may employ to transmit his or her thoughts, metaphors are usually some of the most powerful. In this sense, Victor Lodato beautifully uses doors in his story “Jack, July” in order to represent the divide that the main character feels towards the rest of the world. They are constantly opening and closing, showing that he is wasting away the opportunities that life is giving him because of his drug use. Throughout the story, doors open and shut, mostly remaining in this latter state. This shows the difficulty that the main character has ...

This paper addresses varied activities that my family can use to participate in as a family and thus make family time better. The purpose of this play quest is to describe each of the play activities and how the time ...

According to Turing, thinking is a function of man’s soul and only human beings have souls. According to Turing, only God has the ability to confer a soul to whoever He deems fit. God has the power to do some things. Thus, He may decide to confer a soul to an elephant coupled with a brain that is appropriately improved so as to enable it to minister to the needs of its soul. By doing this He exercises His power in conjunction with a mutation which enables the elephant to have an improved brain (Turing 435). These souls ...

In this regard, the article presents two kinds of ‘ ...

1. Who Suffers from Gender Discrimination? There are two groups of people who suffer from gender discrimination. Women suffer from gender discrimination because they are paid less than men for the same job. Women may also be excluded from jobs, promotions, and they may not be as respected as men in the workplace. On the other hand, all of society suffers from gender discrimination. Gender discrimination hurts society because it keeps half of all people from reaching their full potential. When women are left out of leadership and positions of influence, their good ideas and unique perspectives are also ...

Attention Step

The policy under consideration focuses on the topic of protecting endangered animals with specific attention on rhinoceros and elephants. The animals have been targeted by poachers to harvest their tusks (Ihwagi 7). As such, the purpose of this policy is to conduct an influential campaign against the poaching of elephants and rhinoceros with particular emphasis on reducing the appetite for use of the tusks in order to kill the market. Essentially, the main contributing factor leading to the endangerment of the two animals is the illegal poaching of the tusks with an aim of trading them illegally (Hutchens 940). ...

The first thought in reading the title of the short story Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is to wonder what the title means. Once the reader gets into the story and becomes caught up in the interaction between the man and his female companion, the title may slip away after the first and second mention as symbolism and the author’s presentation of gender characteristics. However important and interesting the other aspects of Hills Like White Elephants may be, it is proposed that the entire story is based around the premise of the representation of the hills ...

It is not easy to please everyone at all times. Sometimes the people around a person and the society places enormous pressure to conform and fit into the norms and traditions followed by them that an individual has to compromise his or her beliefs and ideals just to fit in and to be accepted. Fitting in could sometimes involve proving that a person is manly enough, subscribes to certain religious beliefs and does things that do not stand out from the rest of the community. Compromise and ‘fitting in’ is a theme that is discussed by George Orwell in ...

“Colonialism is a relationship between an indigenous (or forcibly imported) majority and a minority of foreign invaders. The fundamental decisions affecting the lives of the colonized people are made and implemented by the colonial rulers in pursuit of interests that are often defined in a distant metropolis. Rejecting cultural compromises with the colonized population, the colonizers are convinced of their own superiority and their ordained mandate to rule (Jurgen 16).” Apart from the economic and political incentives, race too played an important role in the colonization process. It was the feeling of superiority and the need to enforce it ...

I have had several stories about Hinduism. Since I have never been to any of their services, I expect some if not all of these stories I have heard before to be true or something close to the truth.

I also expect to be segregated since I think I am from a different culture. In terms of prayer, I expect that we will be offering our prayers to one of these gods ...

The ivory trade has been an international problem for decades.

The two short stories "The Cask of the Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe and "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell depict psychological portraits of the protagonists’ criminal behavior.

The book, Year of the Elephant (1989) was written by Leila Abouzeid and is a strong reminder of the way of Moroccan women before independence.

Within the novel, the protagonist, Zahra, is divorced by her husband. The worthlessness of a woman in a marital home is described ...

An example of natural selection influencing evolution involves the African elephant. Because this species has ivory tusks that are highly valuable, hunters have radically altered the distribution of this species since 1930. Some African elephants, it turns out, do not develop any tusks, and in 1930, about 1 in 100 of them did not have any. The ivory hunters left these specimens alone because there was no ivory to harvest from the carcass. However, a lot of elephants who had tusks were killed by the thousands – without reproducing. This means that, over time, the alleles that would tell the ...

What is a Human Being? What Am I?

There are facts of humanity that can be seen with our eyes, by using body scanners, and by using microscopes. We are complex. We are orderly, and if you break us down to our separate molecular weights, one can even break us down into how many different atoms we are a collection of. The molecular geneticist’s point of view is even more fascinating, and explains just how complex and ordered human life is. Through coding of DNA, it becomes clear that each individual human being is, in fact, very extraordinarily unique. The question “What is a human being,” suggests that ...

Abstract

Reality is a powerful source of inspiration for writers in the 20th century. For Raymond Carver the American reality of the working class served as the main source of inspiration for his short stories that fall into the dirty – realism literary style. A technique that is representative for this current and that Carver subtly masters in his short stories is the insertion of objects into the narration, attributing them the value of reflecting the reality through familiar descriptions of the working class American society’s lifestyle. In Carver’s narration the objects tell stories, unite people in the same universe ...

Analysis and Interpretation of “Shooting an Elephant”

“Shooting an Elephant” is an essay by George Orwell. It recounts his incredible experiences in India where he served as an imperial officer. Orwell appears to be narrating a tale on his individual life experience in Burma; however, the real theme behind his essay is to create an image of how colonialism influences the way of life of both the inhabitants in the colonized nation and the imperialistic officers. This essay expounds on how Orwell, through a broad utilization of symbolism, uses his actions and an elephant in a journey to depict ...

Introduction

Becoming a hero requires competence in what an individual attempts to do. One may lose the title of a hero simply because of their failure to accomplish the right things appropriately as desirable. A hero should develop the courage to face the difficulties presented by certain situations in their life. Based on the two stories in question, the characters fail to become heroes because they are defeated and do not face the situations, as they should. The paper focuses on proving that young Goodman brown and George Orwell fail to become heroes since they do not courageously face the challenging situations ...

1.0 Introduction The animal communication system is significantly different from the human communication system. The latter is more advanced as compared to an animal communication system. One difference between the two communication systems is that fact that whereas human beings can use different types of media to pass across their messages; animals only use a limited number of media to communicate. It is, however important to note that similarities exist between the communication system of animals and the human communication system. For instance, communicating through the use of touch is common between animal and human communication. This means that ...

Wonderland was a village that nobody wanted to be associated with unless he or she had a unique magic.

With its origin in the ancient times; hunting is still widely practiced all across the world.

While Ernest Hemingway is commonly associated with living the masculine ideal, in many of his stories he shows a more tenuous grasp of gender roles than one might think a man nicknamed “Papa” who spent his life pursuing such adventures would hold. Hemingway drove an ambulance in a civil war that did not even involve his country; he was a huge fan of bullfights; he was an even bigger fan of hunting. However, such characters as Lady Brett Ashley, whose very name shows a diagonal meandering across gender lines, is a woman who acts like a stereotypical man in terms of her sexual appetites and emotional ...
