Personal Narrative: A Fallen Hero

But his professional rodeo career ended abruptly with a broken arm. A few months later after he graduated college, his arm was completed healed and decided to go the military recruiting office because of his interest in protecting his country and by becoming a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations. A Navy recruiter convinced him to try, instead, for the SEALs. Initially, he was rejected because the pins in his arm, but eventually he received an invitation to the 24-week basic underwater demolition, air, land (SEAL) training (BUD/S) in Coronado, CA in 1999. After not to long, he was assigned to SEAL team #3, sniper element, platoon charlie, within the Naval Special Warfare Command, with four tours of duty, and Kyle served in many battles in the Iraq War. His first long range kill shot was taken during the initial invasion when he shot a woman carrying a hand grenade approaching a boycott of many marines. As ordered, Kyle opened fire before she could even attack. He later stated, “The women was already dead. I was making sure

The events during Chris Kyle’s first tour were mostly inaccurate. In the movie, during Chris Kyle’s Navy Seal training, Chris was drinking at a bar where he met his girlfriend and future wife Taya (Eastwood). In reality Chris met Taya in a bar while he was in Navy training (Duckworth). In the movie Chris Kyle and his girlfriend Taya were married and Chris was deployed in the same day (Eastwood). In real life, Chris Kyle and Taya get married because Chris was going to be deployed soon (Chris Kyle American Sniper). In the movie Kyle’s first tour was in 2003 in Fallujah where his first kill as a sniper happened on a little boy and then his mother (Eastwood). In reality Chris only killed the women which was still his first kill as Chris said he would never killed children (The American Sniper). In the movie, throughout the tours Kyle’s main enemy seems to be an enemy sniper by the name of Mustafa. Mustafa is a sniper who kills some of Kyle’s friends and is a constant enemy of Kyle’s squadron. In Chris Kyle’s autobiography, he talks about an enemy sniper by the name of Mustafa but says he never met with Mustafa himself. Mustafa in this movie was put there to be the main villain and does not have any other purpose. Mustafa never met with Kyle himself (The American Sniper). The

Christopher Scott Kyle was born in Texas. He was one of the most successful and lethal snipers in American military history. He was awarded with some of the highest medals. Insurgents of Iraq were so terrified of him that they had a bounty on his head. Chris Kyle grew up wanting to be a cowboy but as he grew older he became a Navy S.E.A.L and an American Hero.

The Kyle family was big into hunting pheasant, quail, and deer. As Chris grew up, he learned that family is the most important thing. He was taught that protecting your family is the top priority from his father. Once he had graduated, Chris became a professional bull rider. He suffered from a serious arm injury, ending his career.

Chris Kyle was a sniper in the U.S. Military. He had the most kills of any U.S sniper with at least one hundred and sixty confirmed kills and many more that were not documented. He served from for ten years (1999-2009) and was deployed in Iraq a total of four times. Unfortunately, Kyle was murdered at a gun range in Texas three years ago. He received two Navy Cross Silver Star, five Bronze Stars, two Combat Action Medals, and many more that are not listed.

Initially Kyle was interested in joining the U.S. Marine Corps special operations, but a U.S. Navy recruiter convinced him to instead try for the SEALS. He was rejected because of the pins in his arms, but he eventually received an invitation to the 24-week Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school which he joined in 1999. He was assigned to SEAL Team 3, sniper element, platoon “Charlie” ,within the Naval Special Warfare Command, and with four tours of duty, he served in many a

During his ten years of serving as a Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle killed 160 Iraqi insurgents as well as liberating Iraq from the clutches of Saddam Hussein. Chris stated, “It was my duty to shoot and I don’t regret it.”(American Sniper p. 3). He knew that every kill he made was for the right reason and that if he didn’t take out the terrorists, they would have killed the soldiers. Although during the war his relationship with his wife, Taya, was rocky, Chris came home in order to prioritize his family once again and rebuild a relationship with them.

The first topic that Kyle and I talked about was his family life. Kyle is sixteen years young, born on July 26, 1999. He was born in Pittsburgh at Magee-Womens hospital at seven thirty-eight PM. Currently, Fort Allen is where he lives. Right down the road from seven eleven. Fort Allen is his hometown and hasn't lived anywhere else. Kevin at the age of twenty three is Kyle's older brother. Also his only sibling. His brother goes to Pitt Main studying electrical engineering. Now Kyle has a few animals. Spike and Bella are his dogs, Spike is a pintcher and Bella is an American Rot. He also has three challenged cats named Bailey, June, and Justice. Pete is his bird and he swears.

On Kyle’s first attempt to join the Navy, he is rejected after a physical found the pins in his wrist from the rodeo accident. Deterred from the Navy, Kyle returns back to ranch life, but soon after resuming, he unexpectedly receives a call from the Navy recruiter willing to give him a chance at becoming a Navy SEAL. After completing the training for SEAL recruits Kyle is assigned to SEAL Team Three based out of California. While based in California Kyle meet his wife Taya, but shortly after their marriage Kyle is deployed for war. From this point the book turns tremendously intense as it follows Kyle’s operations in the war as a SEAL sniper. Throughout his tours of duty he is given the tasks of providing over watches for Marine’s clearing buildings and is required to engage any insurgents for numerous hours each day. While on the sniper over watches he experiences the evils of the insurgence first hand by killing multiple enemies in each shift. As his number of confirmed kills increased Kyle earns legendary status and the respect of many military

A few such instances are: Kyle’s up bringing, Kyle meeting and marrying his wife Taya Kyle, the births of both their son and daughter, his brief visits at home after his deployments, his life after being honorably discharged, and his unfortunate death. Chris Kyle’s early life was very influential in shaping his personality. Kyle was born on April 8th, 1974, and was the son of Wayne Kyle, who was a church deacon and Sunday school teacher. Kyle’s mother’s name was Deby Lynn. Kyle grew up in Odessa, Texas, and eventually went to college in Stephenville, Texas at Tarleton State University where he studied agriculture for two years.

Chris Kyle was a huge hero to the country of America. He was well decorated and wanted to achieve so much. Chris wanted to make a difference in this country, and he sure did. I think Chris lived a well lived life. Granted he spent most of his life at war, he made a big impact to this country, and many will remember and are thankful for that.

U.S. Navy SEAL ,Chris Kyle was just the average die hard Texan. He aspired to become a cowboy, but it wasn’t working out in his favor. After seeing the horrors of terrorism on 9/11 he was ready to fight for his country and enlisted into the military. He goes on to fight in four tours and becomes the deadliest sniper in American history. After each tour, he felt that he had to go back. He had two goals that he couldn’t give up on; protecting his team and taking out the deadliest enemy sniper, Mustafa. Chris would not stop until he achieved his goals, when he finally did, he faced a new battle. He struggled with normal daily life, but even then he persevered and found a new passion to aid him. Throughout this film, Clint Eastwood portrays the theme of perseverance through the use of setting, camera angles, and the main character Chris Kyle.

Change is inevitable. Whether it be positive or negative, change is constantly happening. More than often change can take you from the known world and spit you into the unknown, where you return a changed person. While embarking on the journeys provoked by change, you are on a hero’s journeys. The hero’s journey was popularized by Joseph Campbell. When describing what prompts hero’s journeys, Joseph Campbell said,
