Paraphrase this poem: The warping night air having brought the boom
Of an owl’s voice into her darkened room,
We tell the wakened child that all she heard
Was an odd question from a forest bird,
Asking of us, if rightly listened to,
“Who cooks for you?” and then “Who cooks for you?”

Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear,
Can also thus domesticate a fear,
And send a small child back to sleep at night
Not listening for the sound of stealthy flight
Or dreaming of some small thing in a claw
Borne up to some dark branch and eaten raw.

Read the excerpt. … in lower burma, i was hated by large numbers of people. … i was subdivisional police officer of the town, and … anti-european feeling was very bitter. … as a police officer i was an obvious target and was baited whenever it seemed safe to do so. … i had already made up my mind that imperialism was an evil thing. … i was all for the burmese and all against their oppressors, the british. what is the situational irony in the excerpt from “shooting an elephant” by george orwell? the narrator is a british police officer and part of the system he dislikes. the narrator is himself a well-liked member of the burmese government. the narrator has recently become a burmese citizen. the narrator has decided to leave the british empire.
