1. Orwell is hated by large numbers of people in Burma because he is from the European decent.
2. Local officials want something done with the elephant because it's proving to be a problem with the townspeople.
3. Orwell decides to kill the elephant because it is what people expect him to do.
4. Orwell was glad the collie was killed because that means he wouldn't get in trouble for shooting the elephant
1. The real nature of imperialism means giving into the desires of others. You do what others expect of you, instead of doing what you want to do.
2. I think in a way, Orwell wrote this essay to both inform and to persuade. He wanted to inform people of the problem, and persuade them to not fall into it.
