The New York Times Bestselling book American Sniper is an Autobiography.Written by The main character who is a sniper that went overseas and earned the nickname “the legend” after the impressive number of kills he made during his time as a seal. The main characters conflicts and resolutions take place between the writer and his family and in my “opinion” the conflicts and resolutions in this book is what makes the message. This book mainly takes place in Iraq and different cities in Iraq such as Fallujah and many more. Some of the biggest events in this story was when he was accepted into the service.When the attack on the twin towers occurred on 9/11.And when he was kicked out of the service for his high blood pressure.

In the book American Sniper by Chris Kyle the main Idea or the theme another thing is to find out a contrast and contradiction moment. A contrast that was found in the book is when Chris Kyle had to shoot the Iraqi woman that had a chinese grenade. His chief told him to take that shot and he hesitated. The Chief told him again to take the shot he then put his finger on the trigger and pulled it killing her. In the book it says that “It was my duty to shoot and I don't regret it”. This showing that it was hard it was for him to take the shot but he had to do it for his marine friends and so nobody gets hurt. One other quote from the text that was found is “Savage, Despicable evil. That’s what we're fighting”. This means that he is understanding

Also this is important because he is trying to survive. Another Literary Element is the character the Republican Sniper is curious on who he shot. The relationship this has to relate to the theme is he didn’t know who the enemy sniper was until he turned the body over. This quote “Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face” this supports my claim by finding out the enemy sniper was his brother. This is important because he shot his own brother not on purpose but to survive.

War movies were always a big part of the film industry from big action movies like Rambo to a history movie like Pearl Harbor. American Sniper is no different.
