Orwell did not agree with the imperialistic practices of the British, so in his heart he sided with the Burmese.
George Orwell had a complex relationship with the Burmese people during his time as a colonial police officer. While he initially viewed them with condescension and a sense of superiority, over time he became critical of British colonialism and empathized with the struggles of the Burmese against oppression and injustice. His experiences in Burma influenced his views on imperialism and shaped his perspectives on power dynamics.
The narrator in Orwell's Shooting an Elephant feels the need to be accepted by the Burmese who hate him. He feels sympathetic to them and resents his position as a police officer. He is willing to kill a relatively harmless animal in order to look better in the eyes of the people.
Orwell is trying to make the reader feel like he is talking directly to them. He wants the reader to feel freedom and a desire to reach out for that freedom -
To feel rich and superior.
We feel God in are hearts
I do not
Orwell shoots the elephant when it is in heat because he is destroying property and also took someones life. Orwell didnt really want to kill it but the people following him made him feel pushed forward to do it.
We british people feel that fairies are evil and devilish creatures!
The plural of presence is presences. As in "the psychic can feel some presences.
What kind of presence? There are no such thing as ghosts peoples!
It would be an impossible question to answer with certainty. With a billion people in India, and most of them cricket fanatic's, I feel this would in part answer the question, and smaller countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Sri lanka and numerous others like Hong Kong,( you can thank the British for this) and Burma. I feel an approximate and calculated guess would be the answer. Cheers, Ken.
They feel that they are in the presence of god.
