Answer:

  • Orwell's failed attempt to kill the elephant quickly.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, he utilizes the elephant to speak to the British Imperialism and the fall speaks to how their very own official causes its fall, likewise the dithering of shooting or not the elephant speak to how the authorities gets amidst the state and the general population, in the scene where the elephant is demise we can see the wastefulness of colonialism.
