hat precisely makes a story classic ? The vast majority depict a story to be exemplary when it has stood the test of time. In my perspective , I believe a story is a classic when it practice a particular influence on people, or when it serve as a standard for writing and it is to be looked upon as of the highest class over time. In this paper, I would focus on what part of Orwell's exposition Shooting an Elephant makes it a work of art. Moreover, I would introduce one book related novel called A Passage to India by E.M Forster and a musical composition by Bob Dylan entitled Rolling Stone. which I would be contending on why these authors and artist works are worthy of being consider classic and on the off chance that they can be considered similarly great.
George Orwell is best prominent for his last two books, the anti-powerful, controlling government works Animal Farm and 1984. He was an exceptionally adroit and experienced writer . Among his most puissant essays is the 1931 self- portraying essay Shooting an Elephant, which Orwell reflects on his experience as a police officer in pioneer Burma. Shooting an Elephant can be identified as one of the most classical essays in the English language. It is an extraordinarily composed article and a dynamite for a topic of portrayal.
Throughout the essay, Orwell develops his proposition on the impacts of colonialism on the general population who are abused as well on the general population abuse individuals, also. The theme, of Shooting an Elephant is to uncover the issues between the law and one's ethical feeling of good and bad as this relates to British government solidly. One major key aspect that makes Shooting an Elephant a classical is that it deals with the evils of imperialism. Imperialism has been edified throughout history but Orwell's narration can consider exceptional. However, E.M Forster is as similar to George Orwell's, His most famous work A Passage to India, which by Forster illustrates an excellent description of a society in the time of imperialism, A Passage to India vigorously paints the fate of individuals captured between the great political and cultural conflicts of the present day world. George Orwell's and E.M Forster are both writers and they are best known for their ironic and best plotted short stories on British class ruling and imperialisms. What makes both books classic is the fact they reveal the secrets of British dominion over other countries and it effect till this present day and has become one of the great literature works used in teaching in high schools , colleges and other institutions.
Also, both authors works can be classified as equally classic because both stories take place in the British colony, whereby the share the idea of Elimination. In Passage to India, the main character Dr.Aziz is an Indian living in a British colony while the Orwell essay is about him living in Burma as an officer of the law. In both novels there is clear tension in the relationship between the British and the people of the land, " No one had the guts to raise a riot" which emphasize that the people of Burma hates the British. In my perspective , one of this novel can use in place of the other to share the same idea of British rule in Islamic countries although they may differ a bit in context.
Another factor that makes this books worthy to be called classic is the fact that, both books reveals significant information on the social borders between the people and the British, which most history books would never portrays to educate a student . For example, In Passage to India portray a comity between an Englishman and an Indian, which the friendship fails, but in Shooting an Elephant, there are no endeavors whatsoever in forming a relationship between the Englishmen and the Burmese. The Englishmen look at the Burmese people as less paramount, they genuinely believed that an elephant has more value than a Burmese child "the younger men said it was a damn shame to shoot an elephant for killing a coolie, because an elephant was worth more than any damn Coringhee coolie" Orwell stated that " I was very glad that the coolie had been killed; it put me legally in the right" which expounds Burma's rejection of the British. This proves that both Orwell and Forster books can be suited as equally classic because both books reflect on the social encounters that subsisted between the people and the British .
Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan is identified by the critic as a revolutionary song Dylan wrote after he returned exhaustless from a grueling tour of England. Although Dylan is as most famous as Orwell and Forster, he is not equally worthy as this great writer's , since no significant reference can be made with the two novels. Dylan's send out a message in his song about an individual or nation who had it all but it now stripped off of their procession's. For example, where he states "Once upon a time you dressed so fine you threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?" He song reflects more on making fun of a particular group that had it all but now stripped down off their processions . His song is great but not as worthy as Orwell and Forster. Whereby schools would barely introduce Dylan's song as a teaching element to students.
To sum it all , George Orwell and E.M Forster novels are much deserving of being considered a classic and additionally they are equally worthy of each other because both authors release a sense of great information to the readers and so as to the world. They enlighten us about imperialism in most Islamic country surmounted over by the British and edifies us that , maybe one cannot always change another.
