How important is conflict or problem in a story? which story had the most intense or developed conflict to you?

Conflict is the base of the story. Without conflict, the story has no plot, the characters don't experience anything, and there isn't really any developments at all. As for the second question, I think that's your own opinion.

answer: the essay describes the experience of the english narrator, possibly orwell himself, called upon to shoot an aggressive elephant while working as a police officer in burma.

explanation:

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.
