Orwell's claim is that he had to shoot the elephant because it was his duty even though he didn't want to or didn't need to
ethos: when he states he works for the British but he despises them.
logos when he pulls out his rifle that was to small to kill an elephant and the people were expecting him to kill it
pathos: he said he was squeamish about killing an animal and then he had to shoot a large animal at that

Orwell's claim relates to just because others want you to do something doesn't mean you should/ doesn't mean its right.

I feel that the people of Burma were brutal and did not care about the elephant and they only cared about themselves.

The author uses ethos in the beginning of the  piece when he tells the audience about himself.

I think he used pathos when he shot the elephant. We could tell that he did not want to shoot it.

He used logos when he talks about his knowledge of the people.

Oliver's claim was he had to shoot it because it was his duty being a sahib, to make all those people happy.

In the story Oliver is a man who had been hearing stories of a elephant killing people but he didn't believe it, until he saw one of his victims so he went and found it to see if it was frenzied and when it wasn't he didn't want to kill it but a huge group had followed him to watch him ill the elephant.
Pathos: When he shoot the elephant knowing all the people wanted him to.
Logos: He uses how all Sahibs are known for making natives happy
Ethos: he describes him killing the elephant and how he had to do it

European Police in Burma, Orwell included.

Orwell, having lived as a policeman in Burma gives us a clear picture of imperialism with colonial Burma, showing us the complex relationship and enmity between the natives of Burma and their European rulers. In this, he highlights his own personal experience, where the fact of European dominion forced oppressed his sensibilities and showed that the natives had power over him, by virtue of his power over them. We see him having to kill an elephant to save face, explaining his actions to be logically consistent.

I think Orwell's claim was that the people of Burma had peer pressured him into doing something he had no intention of doing, also about how selfish and cruel the people were. The people treated him poorly solely based on his occupation, thinking he was really nothing. But then when the elephant comes, they seem in need of his help. They were more focused on the rifle and him killing the elephant for the meat more than the actual damage the elephant was doing. He uses ethos throughout his story of him telling his experiences, and what he had done during this time.  He uses pathos when he shoots the elephant, as everyone was right behind him wanting him to shoot it. When he uses logos, he talks about why he shot the elephant, thinking he had to for the people to really see him and because of all the damage that had happened.

I think that Orwell's claim is about pure pressure. Don't give into pure pressure. The pressure was getting to him from the other people and he made a mistake. Pathos: When he kills the elephant even though he doesn't want to. Ethos: When he talks about everything before he gets into telling the story of killing the elephant. Logos: When he explains the purpose of the elephant's actions.

Orwell was deciding between killing the elephant or letting it be. He decided to kill it because he had to maintain his authority and power. He also felt the pressure of everyone around him wanting him to kill the elephant.

ethos- sharing his experience of being hated by the Burmans.
Pathos- the strong imagery when describing the killing of the elephant.
logos- describing the habits and actions of the elephant.

He addresses the conflict and pressures he feels as a police officer in this time period dealing with imperialism. There is extreme tension and pressure that Orwell feels from the people of the town. He puts emphasis on the fact that he doesn't want to kill the elephant but feels pressured to do so. He uses pathos when he describes the killing of he elephant, the details definitely have extremely emotional effect. Ethos is evident when he talks about how he has experiences with imperialism in his job and he has lived it. Orwell uses logos when he describes the phases of the elephant and why it is engaging in aggressive nature.

His claim was that the elephant needed to be killed, as it was out of control and was doing things it shouldn't. Although he didn't want to he felt that he had to  because of the crowd behind him was looking for it to happen.  He used pathos to give the audience by explaining exactly how he shot the elephant, logos when he was going through telling everyone why the elephant was acting out, and used ethos when he was saying that he was a police officer there and that he was highly disliked.

# data[].attributes.body
his claim was that the elephant needed to be put down however not in the way it was. He uses pathos In "His great mound of a side painfully rising and fallig"

His claim is that what others want is not always what is right. He shot the elephant because he did not want to be laughed at not because he needed to kill it. Ethos- talking about how his a police officer in the country and has had experiences there. Pathos- When he vividly describes killing the elephant and the sulfuring it went through as it died. Logos- He talks about the nature of the elephant and why it is acting in that way

# data[].attributes.body
the animal needed to be put down because it was a wild animal causing issues on the town.

pathos- he used this to make us feel sad and the way he did about putting down the mighty animal. He wanted the reader to feel the exact way he did no details left out.

ethos- him being a police officer on the side he isn't fighting for.

logos- him talking about his reasoning for the killing the elephant

Orwell felt like he had to kill the animal because everyone behind him wanted him to. -Bryce

Orwell didn't want to kill the elephant it was against the law but the elephant was a danger to the people and it seemed to be the right thing to do.  He tried everything in his power to put the elephant out of missery but ended up in failure.

the elephant killed someone and was getting out of control so it needed to be put down so it didn't ruin anything else or hurt anyone else .

That the elephant needed to be put down because it was a wild animal. (ethos)

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
not this elephant per say but you get the idea.

# data[].attributes.body
It was murder to kill an elephant who didn't know what it was doing wrong. (that's pathos) The people both wanted him to kill it and not to kill it. It was peer pressure.
