Bravery is not inherent, it is rather acquired from the circumstances or situation faced in the life.

In this community everyone is the same, these people won't want what their friends have, if they already have it or going to get it. In the real world, people have different items. Someone will have something that they do not have and then they may try to get it. If everyone were the same and had the same things, then there would be no stealing.

     The story The Sniper takes place during the civil war in Dublin, where a single sniper waits on a roof top to eliminate any threat from the oposing forces. This story is very tense right from the begining as soon as he noticed the enemys watching him and a bullet comes close to hitting him.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and The Giver by Lois Lowry are both books that have a similar idea of how a society is supposed to be run, but with different plots.

Equally compelling and terrifying was its electronic score composed by Ennio Morricone, creating the perfect atmosphere for horror. Paying homage and providing a prequel to the 1982 film, a film by the same name was released in 2011.
