Shooting an Elephant Storyboard
Storyboard Text
- Man Vs. Self: Orwell's conflict consisted of whether or not he would shoot the elephant but as the crowd grew bigger he had no other option but to kill the elephant. Orwell wanted to stay true to himself but he did the opposite. Orwell had a fear of shame and didn’t want anyone thinking that he was a coward for not being able to kill an elephant. "...I did not in the least want to shoot him. I decided that I would watch him for a little while to make sure he did not turn savage again, and then go home. But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd...it was an immense crowd, two thousand at the least and growing every minute" (Orwell 708).
- Man Vs. Self: Orwell had a personal conflict when it came to his job. He was working as a police officer for the British in a place like the Middle East which made many hate him. Orwell hated that he wasn’t able to show how much he actually disliked his job because that was his job. In the text, Orwell explains that "...all this was perplexing and upsetting. For at that time I had already made up my mind that imperialism was an evil thing and the sooner I chucked up my job and got out of it the better" (Orwell 705).
