Compare And Contrast Shooting An Elephant By George Orwell

How do you act at school? Is it different from how you are at home? From time to time people act differently around different people and the environment, similar to George Orwell in “Shooting an Elephant.” Orwell acted different around the Burmese and the British. He didn’t like the British way of taking control over, but he wasn’t going to step down and give up his position and have no money or respect. He didn’t like the way the Burmese treated him because of who he worked for. The Burmese and the British all crowded around Orwell, when it was time to decide to shoot the elephant or not. Being influenced by the crowded, even when he doesn’t like them, Orwell shot the elephant to avoid looking like a fool. Apart of being a Gemini, I have

multiple personalities. They have their ups and downs, and at times don’t get along.
At school, I don’t talk much, quiet, don’t do anything fun, and don’t let what people say affect me. The benefits of these are qualities that I can learn more, don’t get in trouble, and avoid drama easily. At school, I get almost to all of my work done, when I’m really focused. However, the only thing about these qualities are that people don’t really know me, I’m too quiet, boring at school, and people think they can walk all over me. Everybody always says, “You’re too quiet. Do you ever talk?” The positives are far better than the negatives. I act like this, because that’s the way my dad raised me to be. I was quiet at school and at home, but as I got older, I start being more outgoing home.
However at home, I talk way too much, outgoing, always doing something, and tell people what I really want to say. The fact that I can make friends easily, people try to talk to me and get to know me, have more fun, and people don’t run over me, is the best part of my home-self. Most of the time, my dad thinks something is wrong with me. The negatives to these qualities are people think I get annoying at times, occasionally my family thinks I am crazy, and I have to watch what I say. I am like this, because it’s an outlet for my quietness at school.
