Synopsis (Orwell) 2/1/13

I did not like this story at all. It did not catch my attention. It was like all he wanted to do was complain about the work he was doing, but had to do it because it was his job. The entire story was based on the fact that he had to kill an elephant. He didn't want to do it, but didn't want to look like a fool in front of everyone who thought it was right to kill the elephant. Seemed the only reason the people wanted it dead to begin with, was so they could eat it and use its skin for whatever they could. I really just didn't get the point in this story.
