Describe the elephant from his escape until its death in George Orwell's essay, "Shooting an elephant".

In "Shooting an elephant", the master essayist of the
twentieth century, George Orwell, maintains that a minor incident of shooting an
elephant in colonial Burma symbolizes the evil and futility of British imperial
rule. This truth comes clear to him one morning near the beginning of the rainy season
when the narrator, a colonial police officer, learns that a domesticated elephant,
maddened by estrus, has broken free of its mahout or master and is
terrorizing the neighborhood. At the time the incident is reported to the policeman, the
elephant has destroyed a hut, upended a garbage van, killed a cow, and satisfied its
hunger in the fruit stalls of the local bazaar. Without weapons to protect themselves -
a direct result of the disarmament policy of the British administration - the Burmese
are powerless to prevent the elephant from roaming at will. The narrator arrives at the
site of the last report of the rampaging elephant to find a commotion around a hut.
There he finds the body of a Dravidian coolie, his body horribly mangled by the
elephant. Armed with a true elephant gun, the narrator approaches the elephant now
grazing peacefully in a nearby paddy field. Pressured by the unspoken expectation of a
vast crowd of native onlookers, he fires his powerful weapon at what he surmised was the
elephant's brain. Although he fires a total of three rounds into the beast, the offiicer
is shocked to see that it still lives. That condition of a slow, agonizing death
persists even after the officer exhausts all his ammunition. At last he leaves in
disgust, later learning that it takes a half hour for the animal to
die.
