In “The Sniper” by Liam O'Flaherty, the Republican Sniper is shown as brave, stupid, and sneaky. The Sniper is shown to be scared in the story when he was sniping at the window sniping. “The noise would wake the dead.” This quote shows that The Sniper is stupid because during this part, he is smoking and giving out his position. During the story,The Sniper is also acting dead when he got shot at. He shows that he is sneaky when he moves out of the way to go to another spot. Rainsford shows that he is sneaky during this scene because he took off and hid somewhere else. Then when the smoke cleared, he peered across and uttered a cry of joy. His enemy had been hit. The Sniper is quick ,strong, and creative in the story because he found many ways

Abstract This paper will try to explore two theories of the beltway sniper. The first is the conflict theory and the second is the psychological theory. There will be summarizing of the crime (dates, offenders, how they were caught if they were). The two theories will try to explore the crime. Each of the theory will shed light on the reasons for the crime. For this paper, I will provide evidence to which theory seems to be stronger. I will also show any evidence that will lead to the deviant path that was taken. I will be explaining how you determine the path that was taken for the crime. I hope that after reading this the audience will have a better understanding of the conflict and psychological theory of the beltway DC sniper.
“Al-Shaitan” “The American Sniper” by Chris Kyle is an account of the deadliest American sniper ever, called “the devil” by the enemies he hunted and “the legend” by his Navy SEAL brothers. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyle's kills (the previous American record was 109). Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Kyle presents the gripping and unforgettable accounts of

Over the summer I read American Sniper I felt this book was a perfect fit for me I'm very pro military. I thought it would be a very interesting read since he was the most lethal sniper the US military has ever seen. This book talks a lot about war and
The american sniper is a very awesome topic that i wanted to write about for my last year. The reason why i wanted to do it is because i have four relatives in the army marine and the navy and the Airforce. So i want us to remember the sniper which is chris kyle he was a very awesome and couraging person to me. when me and my dad went to watch the movie i didn’t move one time except for a drink and food.so i hope you have a chance to watch the movie american sniper. Chris kyle was a character that would do anything for the freedom. When i heard that the veterans give us this freedom i was shocked about it, plus i have some relatives that are veterans that i really care about,but one the characters is my loving father he was in the army for 24 years.he started at the age of 18. I willing to bet u that chris kyle started being a veteran when he was young. Chris Kyle was one of my favorite characters in the movie american sniper, but when i read that Chris kyle died i was so sad for a month that i really didn’t want to do anything at all with war games or watch any war movies because every time i saw someone

We all grew up with tales of dragons and beasts, banished by knights and kings. Stories of righteousness against hellfire in a most innocent way. As we grow older we come to believe that along with our days of youth, we leave behind Disney tales of “good vs. evil”, and the proper notion of an uncomplicated “right or wrong” narrative becomes nothing more than an imprint of a faded memory of what defined the world. In a perfect world, that perspective would ring as gospel amongst the people of the world, and maybe then, and only then, would the world be “perfect”. Though many long for this sort of simplicity in the universe, this is simply not how the world is. Through our storytelling, and our own psychological necessity for an affixed dichotomy
Before reading the book American Sniper, I would tell you I was aware of what are military and seal teams do. Now, I can tell you i've never been more wrong. In the book American Sniper the reader gets a first hand account of the battle field and what goes into making someone a Navy Seal through Chris Kyle's personal accounts. Kyle takes the reader through his life beginning with his upbringing in Texas and finishing with his homecoming from war after his fourth deployment. The book is meant to show and encourage other young aspiring people to learn about and possibly pursue a military career, but as Kyle says, “it's not for everyone.” I personally really liked certain aspects of the book, and only disliked a few often repetitive scenes. If you have ever been interested or wondered about what our unsung heros have to go through everyday while you are safe at home than I suggest you give this book a read. I promise you won't be let down.

In the film ‘Her’, directed by Spike Jonze, the main protagonist,Theodore Twombly conveys the idea of alienation via technology and its possible effects, due to his depression via his divorce and his easy going relationship with an artificial intelligence operating system named Samantha. The idea of alienation and technology and its possible effects on human relationships is conveyed via the quote, “Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.” Theodore recently experienced is his divorce depression, and therefore becomes vulnerable, anti-social from society and isolated himself, by spending time with the artificial intelligence
