Shooting an Elephant-Description

Sight- "lying on his belly with arms crucified and head sharply twisted to one side" "He looked suddenly stricken, shrunken, immensely old",
Smell- "The wretched prisoners huddled in the stinking cages of the lock ups"
Touch- "When a nimble Burman tripped me up", "I shoved the cartridges",
Hearing- "Insults hooted after me", "I had to think out my problems in utter silence", "sounds clear enough at a distance", "loud, scandalized cry", "Clicking their tongues and exclaiming", "The tortured gasps continued as steadily as the ticking of a clock"
