What paradox, or seeming contradiction, does Orwell point out concerning his behavior in front of the crowd in "Shooting an Elephant"?

-Although he was experienced in college dramatics, he was very nervous in front of the crowd.

-Although, he was the person with the elephant gun, he did a very clumsy job of shooting the elephant.

-Although he was a very efficient colonial officer, he hated colonialism.

-Although he seemed to be in the position of leader, he only acted because the crowd expected him to.

Answer 1

Shooting the elephant is although he seemed to be in the position of leader, he only acted because the crowd expected him to. That im 110% sure of.

The rocking horse I would imagine would be anger, he was always frustrated with his parents money situation and he used to ride frantically to get the answer as to which horse would win him the money but Im not exactly sure.
