assumed maybe the sniper himself would ended up dead and every line I waited for that shot for the other side to kill him. I think this story was very well written since it didn’t give away what would happen while still including some foreshadowing that you wouldn’t really see until you reread it. What I noticed for example was when his brother died there was so much detail put into the description on his death talking about how he toppled of the roof and how it affected the sniper which was not the

Civil war‚ ireland 1922-1923. A brother kills a brother. People literally being shot on the street. The sniper shows us the side of war and civil war that many do not see. This is my view on the exemplary piece of writing “the sniper”. The year 10 pupils of saint patrick college should find this story interesting. It uses a large range of vocabulary and keeps the reader in suspense and making us want to read it more. It explains the setting/characters very well‚ for example “The long june twilight
