Writing Workshop Pg 132 "Shooting an Elephant"

1. When I was standing up for the what I believe in about Gay marriage I felt like Orwell did and that was a puppet to the system. I felt that no matter how much I believed in this subject that I would always get back into a very quiet shell of mine. I would not want that to happen but it always did because I did not want to seem weird and be judged by others who did not believe in what I believe in. So I kept quiet and told people that I thought Gay marriage was so wrong and that I  did not like it. This went against all that I believed in.

2. What I learned about not hiding that I thought Gay marriage is right is that there are many people that have the same thoughts as me. I was able to see this and open up more for people about what and I thought. I was able to not only open up to people that I some what know I could open up to society and people I did not know and tell them what I thought and see if they had the same feelings as me.

3. Orwell is where he is at and does not like the way that the British are treating these people and he kept getting sucked back into the system of what the British had made. He then traveled to find an Elephant that people said was killing people and so he went on and looked. He then felt connected to the Elephant and could not shoot him but he had so many people watching him and he could not help but shoot this animal for these people.
