grammatik af en ekstrakt

Hejsa, jeg har fået til opgave at lave grammatik til en ekstrakt fra Owell's "Shooting an Elephant".. Men jeg synes virkelig, denne tekst er svær!
Sådan her ser stykket ud (med mine rettelser) indtil vidre.. Håber meget at nogle af jer, kan hjælpe mig lidt på vej med de manglende tegn og rettelse af de allerede 'satte'
Jeg har også forsøgt at finde selve ekstrakten på nettet, men det forkommer mig umuligt - desværre.
Ekstrakten:
I looked at the sea of yellow faces above the garish clothes – faces. All happy and exited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me, as they would watch a conjurer about to perform a trick. They did not like me, but with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching, and suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant. After all the people expected it of me and. I had got to do it. I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward irresistibly, and it was at this moment, as I stood there with the rifle in my hands that I first grasped the hollowness the futility of the white mans dominion in the East. Here I was the white man with his gun standing in front of the unarmed native crowd seemingly, the leading actor of the piece, but in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro be the will of those yellow faces behind. I perceived in this moment that when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys.
På forhånd mange tak for hjælpen!

They were watching me as they would watch a conjurer about to perform a trick. They did not like me, but with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward, irresistibly. And it was at this moment, as I stood there with the rifle in my hands, that I first grasped the hollowness, the futility of the white man’s dominion in the East. Here was I, the white man with his gun, standing in front of the unarmed native crowd—seemingly the leading actor of the piece; but in reality I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of those yellow faces behind.
