Do you think Orwell is a coward? Do you think he is a racist? Explain your feelings.
I do not think that Orwell is a coward, more like a person that makes bad decision. He did not stay loyal to his personal beliefs, instead he followed what everyone else expected of him.
He is not racist, he is merely a person that knows factors that differ each individual person. When it came to him being in the village everyone did not come with welcome hands. They merely had no respect for him, because he is different from everyone else. He does not come from the same background as them. When it came to him saving them, he was a hero to some and a foe to others. Those that saw no danger in the elephant where people that maybe saw that he was harmless and caused no pain to them. As for those that did get harmed from the elephant, they were people that were blinded by grief and anger. In a way people have become a big factor that influenced Orwell. Making his decision was hard, because in eather result there would be people that would hate him more than they already do for being different.
