Journal Entry September 13 2011 "Shooting an Elephant"

No I do not think that Orwell is a coward for what he did. He was put under pressure and did not know what else to do except for shoot the Elephant for these people that were watching him. I do not think he was racist because of how he saw these people in his eyes. He saw them in a interested way and not a way of saying what is this scum they are different from me and he did not like it. He took them generously and acted and treated them like normal people, like they were exactly like him.
