    English Prelim Tomorrow
    Hi there.

    My English prelim is tomorrow and there have been rumours circling around my school that one of the questions in the critical essay exam are something like this;

    Well.. I don't really have enough information to even being paraphrasing. But basically it is about GUILT and how a character deals with it.. I think.

    Obviously this refers to Shooting An Elephant and how Orwell deals with the guilt of who he is in the situation and what he does in killing the elephant.

    I was wondering if anyone could confirm this for me?

    Thanks (this is my first post on this website, any help would be appreciated)

    Stick to learning your texts very well, instead of second guessing the questions that willl come up. It will do you better.
