VIII. George Orwell [His Existence in Burmese Environment]
By doing this thesis, I learned culture and the custom of Burmese people at that time, and the way they thought and the words they used. I also learned that most of the Burmese words developed from Indian words and some from English and Chinese words. People from other Asian countries have changed the way they dress from their traditional dress to western style. But the way Burmese people dress today is pretty much same as the way people dressed in colonial time. Besides monks and students still start and lead the political movement nowadays as George Orwell described in his novel “Shooting an Elephant” .
Burmese people also have maintained their religious belief from time to time. As Burmese people are Buddhists they still build pagodas and set animals free. As I am a Buddhist I have to disagree with the way George Orwell wrote about Buddhist monks in “Shooting an Elephant”. According to him, Buddhist monks had nothing to do except stand on the street corners and jeer at Europeans. From my point of view, that jeering at foreigners was a part of the political movement. They just wanted to show their rejection of the foreign government. It is not true that a Buddhist monk has nothing to do. They have to live under strict disciplines of Buddhism.
I am glad that I chose this thesis because I know much matter about my country and I understand George Orwell’s view of my country.
