can you clarify the article of A Hanging. why there is a dog came out and why the men are laughing at the end of the story.
are the men who carry out the hanging in Orwell essay cruel? are thy justified in their actions, following orders from others better able to judge? Or should they question their assigned role as executioners. who has the right to take the life of another? do you condemn or support Orwell role in the hanging. what if anything should or could he have done when he "saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide"
