Essay Analysis: SOAPSTone and George Orwell

Last Friday we read an essay by George Orwell:  On Shooting An Elephant

The picture above is the author George Orwell.  The essay is a memoir of his days as a police officer in Burma.  He wrote many essays about his life experiences as well as famous satires such as "1984" and "Animal Farm"
