    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…

    American Sniper Essay

    The book, American Sniper, by Chris Kyle is an informative story of the life of Kyle and the delimas he went through in and out of the war. Kyle was extremely effective in showing the reader what the life of a Navy SEAL was like, both what he went through while at war and the controversies he went through out of service. The authors main point of writing the novel is to show everyone a SEAL’s point of view of war, instead of the “propaganda” seen on the news. Kyle shows the main points of the book by establishing his own credibility, showing the purpose behind novel, and defining his tone toward the subject.…

    American Sniper Research Paper

    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…

    Armed Shooter Game: Personal Narrative

    I was surprised at my findings during the shooter game. The armed I had WHITE-24 and BLACK-20 and the unarmed I had WHITE-22 and BLACK-15. With my own heuristics I feel that I have a quick judgement, because the game made me think quick to observe which people was good or bad. When I got them wrong it took away points from the average, but it taught me to be more observative to the people that popped up on the screen. Overall, I had to figure which people are dangerous and which ones was not dangerous which I needed to survive throughout the game.…

    Essay On American Sniper

    Every wondered how much a title or name can mean to someone? There is almost always a larger meaning behind the name of a company or the title of a book. Without truly studying and analyzing the title it may not seem that important. My book American Sniper has a very short title but when you truly look at the two words there is more to them than what may come to the mind at first. The word American, and sniper are both really important words that when put together have a very strong meaning especially to Chris Kyle.…

Just as one came down that would surely kill me, I was pushed out of the way and onto the sidewalk. The person stayed on top of me as a few more bombs came down, and stayed on top of me until they were…

    Personal Narrative: My First Time Shooting

    It's Christmas 2014, my Dad and I went to go shooting with my Cousins, my Uncle, and my Grandpa. He brought his AR (Assault Rifle), .45, .09, and his AS 12 gauge (Assault Shotgun). I brought my BB gun too. The boys shot off a couple of rounds with the .45, the .09, and the AR. Grandpa taught me how to shoot a BB gun first. Then my Dad let me shoot the .09. The .09 goes like this BAM…… BAM…….. BAM it is semi automatic, that means it is not rapid fire. I was pretty good with the .09. Next I used the .45 and it went all downhill from there. The .45 almost flew out of my hand, it went BAM… BAM… BAM... BAM, it had a good kickback to it. The .45 also was a semi automatic.…

    Descriptive Essay On A Sniper

    I was standing on the roof of a building watching and being a look for the democrat party in Dublin, Ireland. I was on look out as sniper so I could protect our land from the Republican Party and the snipers that they may send out to eliminate us so they could be free from our party. One night when I was on watch I was thinking to myself if this would be the last time I would live to see another day. I was thinking really hard to myself while walking across the roof tops when my eye caught a slight glimpse from the other side of the roof tops a bright little flash. I got a little scared at first and then as fast I could raise my rifle at the other side of the street and aimed at where I saw the flash. I took a deep breath and then let it out a little nervously. I did the same thing again and took a shot. Crack! It broke the…
