    Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell is an essay surrounding the difficulties of doing what you are supposed to do versus what others want you to do.

    The ebola outbreak of 2014 claimed many lives‚ some of which being American. Many more would have been claimed‚ however‚ if Dr. Kent Brantly hadn’t donated his blood plasma to the cause. Dr. Brantly is inspiring to me because even after he had become ill with ebola and survived‚ he continued to fight the international war on the virus.
