American Sniper by Chris Kyle

“Shooting Dad,” by Sarah Vowell, is about two completely different groups, with contrasting views, that can learn to get along with one another. The reader learns through unsubtle clues that Vowell is a Democrat and her father is a Republican. These collective groups offer completely different viewpoints on many topics, therefore Vowell has a hard time getting along with her father. Vowell is not a strong supporter of guns; however her father has magazine subscriptions devoted to gun ownership, owns many guns, and belongs to an association for gun enthusiasts. Each group had their own areas devoted toward their favorite candidates and used the kitchen and living room for neutral zones. Vowell and her father both share the trait of a messy work area, but in their own way. Her father’s work area, in the shop, consisted of a “museum of death,” that displayed antler from deer that he had previously shot and metal shavings from ammunition covering the surface of the floor. Vowell spent her free time in the music room, which had musical instruments and staff paper covering her available surfaces. Vowell decided her opinion on all firearms when she was six years old. After shooting it once, she knew that guns were not made for her use. She disliked the gun so much that she whispered to it the gun as if it were a possession of Satan as soon as it went off. Years later her father completed a replica of the Big Horn Gun. It was a cannon that was used by white merchants

American Sniper is a is a very intense story that touches many lives as you read the book or watch the movie. It was said to be that “American Sniper has turned out to be the dark horse in this year’s Oscar race, landing six nominations last Thursday despite being largely ignored by other awards shows.” The book and movie were mostly similar but there were some key points that were different in the movie. When the movie first came out I notice the great detail that was was put into this film. I noticed that they made Chris Kyle out to be almost like a superhero who never made mistakes.

In the movie american sniper there are many false subjects such as added scenes that are put in the movie. One example of a false sense in the movie is when a mother sends her kid with a grenade towards the truck but it was actually a woman in the true story. The reason they did this is to try and make it more shocking and to make the mother look like evil. There are many differences between the movie and the book therefore they can not call it a true story if there are many different sides to the story.

“The Sniper” is a short story written by Liam O’Flaherty which shows the reader the psyche of a skilled sniper amidst the chaos of war in Dublin. The Sniper is an extremely complex, and multi-dimensional character, which is why it is difficult to decipher his personality, and how he distinguishes certain situations in such tense times. Throughout the small amount of text, the Sniper portrays several different character traits, both positive and negative. Mentally, he is very professional, but is also often very reckless with his work, not fully considering the potential consequences of his actions. Morally, the Sniper often shows remorse and empathy towards the opposing side of war, but carries significant survivor’s guilt later on.

When I was younger, I used to play football. I was also tall compared to other people in my grade and thought that I was big and bad because a lot of little kids think that way and I was the same way. By thinking that I was all big and bad, I was trying to make myself seem dangerous, but I was not. However, there are people who are actually dangerous, and are able to show it instead of thinking about it and talking about it. For example, the Sniper from “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty and Shadowman from The Fear by Charlie Higson are both dangerous because they are able to come out alive of situations when they should have or could have died, many times.

Michael Moore suggests that the Unites States has a high level of gun homicide due to the “culture of fear.” In class, we discussed another factor of the high level of gun violence was due to the high rates of racism in the United States. I believe Michael Moore presented a good argument because crime rates have been decreasing each year. In the film, Bowling for Columbine, Moore explains that mainstream news network has increase the report of crimes about six hundred percent. Moore compares two countries, the United States and Canada to dismissed the hypothesis that the more citizens of a country own guns the higher the gun homicide.
