Hi there!

1. The correct answer is letter A) Orwell himself.

2. The correct answet is letter C) Disgusted and ashamed.

Explanation:

In this George Orwell's essay, the main idea is Orwell's contradiction to imperialism and how the society force an individual to act according to its ideals. This essay recounts the story, apparently of Orwell himself, when he was around twenty years old during which he has to decide if he kills an elephant or not. Around that age, he spent five years as a British police officer in Burma and, one day when an elephant broke loose, the Burmese ask him to kill the elephant, but he does not want to do it and he does not want to look like a fool in front of the Burmese. Still, he feels oppressed by society and its ideals, he says "When the white man turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys" inferring that when you give in to do what society says, you lose your freedom and essence. Here, Orwell himself is the dominant symbol, reflecting what society "asked him" todo against his ideals, he gifts his own freedom to society and he feels ashamed and disgusted of what he just did.        

3. The correct answer is letter A) Competitive nature.

Explanation:

In Eveline, even tough she had paralysis, Eveline is figuratively in irons, a prisoner of her religious servility and her self-deception that she must stay to protect her brother and help her father.  

In The Rocking-Horse Winner, the conflict is one of man against society or life in the sense that Paul must obtain enough money so that the family can have the life that they want to have.

These two main characters wanted to go against nature.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
