Climax And Resolution In 'The Sniper'
Climax and resolution are related because the climax is the turning point so whatever happens in the climax will change what happens in the resolution. For instance in The Sniper, sniper 1 kills sniper2, if he didn't kill him then we wouldn't of found out that its actually his brother and there wouldn't be a good suspenseful ending. Therefore climax and resolution are related.

Suspense and setting are very much related because the setting can lead to suspense, like when Rainsford was in the woods being hunted and he stepped in the quicksand, we thought he was gonna get stuck and get killed. If the setting was somewhere else for instance the generals room, if he got stuck in quick sand there it wouldn't make sense. That is how suspense and setting are related.

Like in The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsfords morals are not to kill or hunt humans and the theme of the story was that morals are important and you shouldn't change your morals because of someone else. Morals and theme are related because they tie together to create the lesson in the story. …show more content…
Plot and resolution are related because if we didn't have a plot we wouldn't have a resolution. All the events of the plot line up to make the resolution,for instance in The Sniper. In The Sniper he was on the roof and he lit a cigarette and the other sniper saw so at the end of the story he kills sniper 2 and it all ties together. Plot is related to resolution because without plot there would be no

    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…

    The book I chose for the summative essay assignment was “American Sniper” by Chris Kyle. This book is about the courageous and thrilling memoir of the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. With over 100 documented kills during his four tours of duty, Chris Kyle has shed light on the dangerous brave life of a sniper. During his four tours of duty in the Iraq war he has come close to death and saved countless lives. He changed a lot from just being a country boy and became what he describes as a man. The war really changed his perspective on his civilian life. The significance of the Iraq war was to help free the Iraqi civilians of their dictator, Saddam Hussein, and the radical Islamic insurgents who terrorized the Iraqi’s after the fall of Saddam Hussein.…

    Clint Eastwood’s critical, box office and Academy Awards juggernaut tells the tale of Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper), a prolific, er, American sniper, and his endeavours on and off the battlefield during the Iraq war. It’s a heavily lethargic adaptation of a heavily controversial book about a heavily divisive ‘American Hero’. Not to say that the flick itself is wildly patriotic – though the ending tries its best to disprove that – but nor is it an anti-war film, as director Eastwood haplessly attempts to argue. Which is where American Sniper’s greatest fault, among many faults, lies; it’s a film that is too afraid to carry any political heft, any commentary that would make the viewing experience worthwhile. As a result, the whole point of the film is rendered null.…

    To be a successful soldier in war, one must endure extensive training in various situations, including but not limited to, medical practice, survival skills, and strategies. This is of utmost importance because without proper instruction or experience, a soldier could potentially die in crossfire. It can be challenged that in his historical short story The Sniper, Liam O’Flaherty utilizes characterization to imply that the Republican sniper has qualities of an experienced soldier in survival skills and combat training to show his successful survival and defeat of his enemy sniper.…

    “War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” This quote was written by Bertrand Russell, a British author, mathematician, and philosopher. This quote explains that in war it does not matter whether or not you do the right thing, but whether or not you know how to survive. This quote relates to Liam O’ Flaherty’s short story and Thomas Hardy’s poem. In “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty and “The Man He killed” by Thomas Hardy both literary works show similarities and differences by the use of plot, irony, and theme.…

    What makes a story suspenseful? Is it imagery? Is it dialogue? The reason for suspense varies for different people. For some, dialogue makes a story suspenseful and others maybe diction or even a combination of two aspects but typically not the same aspects for every person. In a movie, it is usually the sounds and darkness and location. In a book though, there are no sounds so you need other aspects such as diction, dialogue, imagery, plot, etc.…

    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.…

    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…
