Shooting an elephant

This story basic is taking about how the Europe white people treated in the Burma. Burma people really hate the White people. The main character is trying to kill an elephant to protect him looks not stupid, or make all the people think this white people looks not stupid.

George Orwell's life
He was born Eric Blair in1903 into an upper middle class  english family. But he was in fact born in India. Then he was sent to Eton for the boy's schools in Britain. After that, he joining the Indian police service and was sent to Burma. That's how his interesting story starts. He totally feel all the issue of Europe society and Burma's society. How can he killed an elephant that he don't want to killed. He worked at private school, bookshop in the next few years.The most important activity for him was write a novels. Describe his experienmence in Bruma, and some other experience in London and Paris. During World War two he also worked for the BBC producing programmes for India and South East Asia.

Burma
Burma also known as Myanmar.
Its population of over 60 million. It is the world's 40th largest country and the second largest in southeast asia. There are big human rights problem in this country. For example: rape, child labour, slavery, human trafficking and a lack of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly. Is also a country that rich in precious stones, oil, natural gas, and other mineral resources.
The country was colonized by Britain before, that's why they don't like the white that much. That's why our main character have to killed an elephant fornt of 2000 Burma people. The people their got human rights problems, but the government is trying to solve the problems.

What is stereotype?
Stereotype is a widely held but fixed oversimplified imager or idea of a particular type of person or thing.
Is a relief printing place cast in a mold made from composed type or an original plate.

For example:
There are some traditional holiday we must celebrate. Or in some certain family have to celebrate some special thing.
I think stereotype always in our life. Imagine your mind as the stereoplay back of your computer. This goes for everything in life. I see heavy black clouds and my stereotype says"rain" and i get my umbrella before i leaving the house.
