Day 1

As I laid on bed, with my room filled with silence, I suddenly heard a loud bang which awakened me from dead. Jumping out of bed with fear as if a lion standing in front of me. I quickly looked out the window. I saw police rushing down the street, parents with their young once to seek shelter like a mother deer would do to save her young one from predators. Another loud bang travelling from the other side informing me that I am here. The machine gun is here. Just

    I want to be a soldier in the army once I have graduated from school. The book ‘American Sniper’ is about Chris Kyle and his life throughout the army and his time at home in Texas. I will be starting off at a higher end of the ranks as Chris enlisted through a recruiting center, I will be going through officer training to achieve leadership skills, and to enable a backup for myself if I was to ever have a serious accident at some point. I wanted to read this book for multiple reasons. One reason is that I have never heard of Chris Kyle before since the movie had begun being filmed, and when I found out there was a book I thought it would be really interesting, and it has been so far. The main reason now that I am still reading it is because now that I know what he has gone through within the army and the war on terror, I wanted it to be something like a guide for myself to get an idea of what basic training will be like, how war will affect me as a person and what is involved in being a soldier. I have always respected and admired the concept of a sniper in warfare. The ability to…

    Alivah was running for her life through muddy fields and dense forest, attempting to evade the sniper who was on her tail. She'd been grounded by one of their anti aircraft missiles, and her parachute was kind enough to tangle itself into a chestnut tree, of all things. The spiky shells of the nuts had pierced the fabric of the chute and stuck as if they were deliberately trying to hinder her escape, and so she had to hurry to cut herself down. From her vantage point in the tree she couldn't miss the convoy of vehicles that was attempting to negotiate the rough terrain to intercept her.…
