WRITING AN ESSAY
After reading George Orwell’s essay on Shooting an
Elephant, I ask myself will I attempt to shoot an elephant that runs amok? Will I be brave enough to face an elephant and
kill it everyone watching me? Err.. Definitely not! First and more most, I am
an animal lover; no matter what kind of animal. Rather that killing the
elephant, I would have tranquilized it then transported it to where ever it
should go. That’s me and my standing.
As a teacher, well that’s a whole different
scenario. If I am given a good form 4 class, I will give them this piece of
essay to read because I find this piece quite interesting and there are parts
which are funny. After reading, I will ask students to write down their opinion
on how they would have handled the situation if they were the sub – divisional officer.
They can write a short story/ essay. This is to test their writing skills and
allowing them to stretch their imagination. I will be good to see what they can
come up with.
