I’m working on a english question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Write to explain whether or not you believe in the death penalty and indicate specific reasons for your choice.
Answer These Few Questions Regarding The Story:
– What does the dog do that shocks all the guards? What’s ironic (the opposite of what’s expected) about this action and the behavior of the dog in general when he first appears?
– What simple action by the prisoner provides an eye-opening moment for Orwell?
– In paragraph 10, Orwell describes in detail the prisoner’s bodily functions to emphasize what idea?
– Describe the behaviors of the remaining characters after the hanging?
– Why does Orwell choose not to reveal to the reader the condemned man’s crime?
