Shooting an Elephant
What is George Orwells point he is trying to persuade across?
I have to write an essay and the question is :“How has your understanding of the way composers position their responders been shaped by your study of Blackfish and Shooting an Elephant?”
I am unsure as to what his persuasion topic is? And what persuasive techniques he is using to position the readers.
My teacher says the purpose of the text is:
To critique British imperialism by representing to a British reading public the folly and corruption of British rule in Burma.
But how is that a persuasive text if he is just informing us?
