The Artillery Batteries had been set up and the LAV’s had been positioned over-watch on avenues of approach that Colonel Bit’s planning staff had identified. The enemy movement towards their position was still a day or so away, they were taking their time. Colonel Bit had sent out scouts, they estimated the Brigade size to be three thousand men and women. They were outnumbered three-to-one, Colonel Bit joked around that it was the Army so it would be an equal fight.

    I find that the most important part of this story is how the plot moves along so quickly. It also manages to describe successfully each conflict or major part of the story. The key element of the plot is when Zaroff and Rainsford play the game. The main conflict would be external which is man verses man, or Zaroff verses Rainsford. There are three major conflicts of man that can be found in Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." In the rest of this short essay I will utilize the elements of compositions and also identify and explain the three conflicts of man found in this story.…

    'How To Tell A True War Story By Tim O' Brien

    In the short story, “How to Tell a True War Story,” the implicit problem that is created about the story by its first line, “this is true,” is that the readers may think the line is sarcasm and not believe the information being said. The readers will question if the story is true or not. Throughout the story the narrator says how many war stories are not true so I do not know what to believe. The author, Tim O’Brien, says that nothing can be believed to be true, which makes the story ironic. He says, “In war you lose your sense of the definite, hence your sense of truth itself, and therefore it’s safe to say that in a true war story nothing much is ever very true” (95). I would think that this story is not true after that being said.…

    Liam O 'Flaherty's Short Story The Sniper'

    In Liam O’Flaherty’s short story “The Sniper”, the Republican sniper does feel remorse for killing his enemy. Reason being, the text states, “The sniper looked at his enemy falling and shuddered. The lust of battle died in him. He became bitten by remorse.” This illustrates that after the excitement of killing his enemy passed, the sniper, realizing what he had done, became disgusted and started to feel pangs of regret at the sight of the dead man’s mangled body. Further, it also shows the effect killing the enemy sniper had on him, repeating the fact that the sniper was angry at what he had done, as it says in the text that, “...he began to gibber to himself, cursing the war, cursing himself, cursing everybody.” Lastly, he physically shows…

    Tim O Brien's Wartime Stories

    Wartime stories are often hard to tell in a narrative non-fiction piece due to the difficulties faced in said wartime conditions. Author Tim O’Brien attempts to address these issues in his novel The Things They Carried, which is a recollection of his war stories which are set in Vietnam. O’Brien’s method of circumventing the problems posed by relying on using imagination and invention to accurately display the truth, as he sees it. The concept of such can be seen in three chapters of the novel, “Good Form”, “How to Tell a True War Story”, and “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”. By critically assessing these three chapters, and the outlook of storytelling that they portray, O’Brien’s view on storytelling can be fully understood and comprehended.…

    Analysis Of Soldier's Home By Ernest Hemingway

    Most soldiers come back from war with physical injuries. However there are also the injuries without the physical scars; the “hidden” wounds of battle. The horrors of armed conflict and war often leave scars on the psyches of soldiers. Soldiers often come home diagnosed with psychological disorders. They are affected mentally by their war experiences. Ernest Hemingway’s, “Soldier’s Home” portrays war in a realistic and raw perspective because it focuses on the war’s true capability to mentally damage and drastically change a soldier.…

    My Life In The Trenches Short Story

    Life in the trenches was not how I imagined it would be. Instead of marching gloriously into Germany with limited amount of difficulties, as the guy at the recruiting office and my friends had promised me, I found myself stuck in the same muddy, wet, uncomfortable ditch since I arrived in France. There were no cheers from grateful citizens, no parties in my honour and no prizes to be won. Only the endless tedium of trench life, with its muddy surrounding, unburied bodies and uniforms covered in lice.…
