| Paragraph 1 | Key Incident, introduce anti capital punishment views
“Dog leapt round us, waging its whole body, wild with glee at finding so many human beings together”
“Made a dash for the prisoner, and jumping up tried to lick his face”
“Everyone stood aghast” |
| Paragraph 2 | Orwell’s Initial Reflection, sympathy
“It is curious, but till that moment I had never realised what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man”
“Bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming”
“Stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live” |
| Paragraph 3 | The execution and its aftermath
“Retreated into a corner of the yard, where it stood among the weeds, looking timorously out at us”
“He was dangling with his toes pointed straight downwards, very slowly revolving, as dead as stone”
“An enormous relief has come upon us now” |
| Conclusion | Develop an understanding of anti capital punishment sentiments, sympathy, techniques used, readers are persuaded, all people should be treated equal |
