After Reading “Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell, write a five-paragraph essay on the following:
In paragraph 3, Orwell says that the incident of shooting the elephant “in a roundabout way was enlightening. It was a tiny incident in itself, but it gave me a better glimpse than I had had before of the real nature of imperialism– the real motives for which despotic governments act.”
What does he see as “the real nature of imperialism,” and how does this incident reveal that nature?
Be sure to use quotes and examples from the assigned reading and focus on the topics from this week’s lecture to write your essay.

Include a clear argument (thesis) in the first paragraph of your essay.
Use quotes/examples from the text to support your claim in each body paragraph with in-text citations in accordance with MLA format.
Demonstrate proper use of MLA format.
Write in third-person.
