In the book Shooting an Elephant Why do the local officials want something done about the elephant?
One interpretation is that the elephant represents imperialism, which is oppressing the Burmese people. The elephant already killed a coolie, which represents imperialism taking over the people on a small scale. The elephant needs to be killed before it oppresses the people even further.
To look at the story from a literal sense, the elephant needed to be killed simply because it already killed one of the citizens and it posed as a threat to the people's safety.
What is the Chinese word for elephant?
in Chinese elephant is called '象' [xiàng], and '大象' [dà xiàng] is more commonly used in daily life.
Why were slaves treated so badly?
Black Slaves in the 1700's were treated so badly because the white English, Spanish and Portuguese travelers thought they were inferior in every way. When white people first discovered their way of life and religious views they immediately thought that they were inferior "Half-People", and because they didn't worship god and practice Christianity, they would make excellent labor workers and domestic slaves. They were shipped from around Africa to the Central Americas and Caribbean Islands to work on sugar, cotton and wheat plantations until near death. The trip from Africa to Central America took about 6-8 weeks and was an extremely harsh experience. Many sick slaves were thrown overboard so the Captains of ships like "The Zong" could claim insurance instead of having sick and dying slaves, which would lower the overall value and profit of the slave cargo. Torture devices and irons were used on the slaves to 'break their will' and prevent them from escaping.
So...basically the white travelers thought they weren't real people and they could be manipulated and forced into a harsh life of non-stop labor until death. They were treated as property and some even had their names taken of them to "de-humanize" them.
