Fallacies from George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant":
"The young Buddhist priests were the worst of all. There were several thousands of them in the town and none of them seemed to have anything to do except stand on street corners and jeer at Europeans."
Hasty generalization. I highly doubt that every single young Buddhist priest in the town was always outside with literally nothing better to do than annoy Europeans.
"...with another part I thought that the greatest joy in the world would be to drive a bayonet into a Buddhist priest's guts."
Reductio ad absurdum all the way. He doesn't really mean that.
"It was a bit of fun to them, as it would be to an English crowd; besides they wanted the meat."
Hasty generalization again. Maybe they were already headed in that direction, maybe they were worried about the elephant's welfare, maybe they were worried about Orwell's welfare... Moral of the story is that Orwell has no way of knowing that each and every one of those people were following him because "it was a bit of fun to them" and "they wanted the meat."
