“MEETING MY DAD” Since I was born‚ my mom has been there for me taking care of me when I’m sick and teaching me pretty much all I know.

During the time of imperialistic rule‚ rich empires were able to take over those of lesser value and benefit from their resources. This is the exact situation going on in Shooting an Elephant by George Orwell; the British had taken over the Burmese. Through Orwell’s use of stylistic and rhetorical strategies‚ he conveys the inferior attitude he has towards himself and the trapped‚ conflicted attitude he feels towards his position in Burma‚ which both stem from the negative aspects of imperialism

Pfeffer Reading Journal By: Samira Hasan The story is about Ashleigh (or Ashes as her dad calls her) Ashleighs dad and her mom. Ashes parents is very different from each other. Her dad is a very simple man who is unemployed‚ poor‚ and a huge dreamer. He makes false promises and tries to make people around him happy with false statements. Her mom on the other hand is the straight opposite to the dad. She is straight as a yardstick‚ and certainly not a dreamer. I would call her a realist.
