The Sniper Rhetorical Devices

Today I’ll be comparing the Narration of “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe. Edgar Allen Poe is the author of many great pieces of literature, using his narrators to explain situations that are going on in their life. The narrators of "The Cask of Amontillado" and "The Black Cat" both lead characters love for man’s inhumanity to man and animals through horrific murders.

In the speech "Black Hawk's surrender speech, 1832", it is explained how Black Hawk fought to defend his people. Black Hawk was captured and made prisoner; the white men Black Hawk was captured by used guns instead of Indian fighting. The white men were in advantage by using guns against them. Black Hawk explains his situation by using rhetorical devices such as atmosphere, analogy, and antecedent.

In the text "Black Hawk's Speech, 1832" the author uses a variety of rhetorical devices. He informs his audience that his people, the indians, were innocent in the war that involved the white men, also known as Europeans. Hawk disguises his facts by using similes and describing the atmosphere of the scene. First, the author expresses his response to the involvment of the Europeans between the lines of a simile.

Symbolism is also used in “The Sniper” to represent a possible theme. Liam O’Flaherty uses a street between the two snipers to show that a possible theme is that war separates family. The story takes place in the middle of a civil war in Ireland. The protagonist is a sniper across the street from an enemy sniper. The enemy sniper is his brother, and it is unknown until the very last sentence. By including a minor detail such as a street, the author is able to both further develop the setting by showing it as urban and let the reader pick up on a theme of the

In the Battle or the Bullet, Malcom X directs the speech towards white media and people about the mistreatmeant and segregation towards African Americans. Malcom X addresses the white public in a very serious tone and mannerism. He states that he doesn’t want religion to stand in the way of fighting for economic or social justice. X states that if you put away all your differences then you are able to join as one. Malcolm wants the blacks to stop supporting white politicians and direct their support towards black politician leaders. He proclaims it’s time to “stop singing and start swinging.” Singing won’t get you any freedom or respect but putting up a fight will. Malcolm X uses many examples of logos, ethos, and pathos to trigger people’s

Finally, Shirley Jackson’s “The Possibility of Evil,” includes dramatic irony and in this story, it is to notify readers that looks can be deceiving. A work of literature that contains irony is a very important way to help the reader know the meaning behind the story itself. In “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty, the author uses situational irony to make readers stop and think about the negative effects of war. This type of irony is present to tell people that war is not only a horrifying adventure, but it can turn “brother against brother.”

Black Hawk's Surrender Speech was given on the day he finally gave up. It was a time full of death and war against the enemy and each other. The speech creates the claim that the white man is an undestructable force that causes chaos at every turn. Ethos, pathos, similes, and metaphors are used to support that claim. Ethos and pathos are frequently used in this speech.

This image uses a mix of different rhetorical appeals, color schemes, fonts and visual elements to create an argumentative image regarding the right to bare arms. The image shows one of the founding fathers pointing to a chalk board that says “Disarming the innocent people does not protect innocent people,” almost as if he is teaching this concept. He is standing in front of a cloud and a dark night sky, almost as if he is looking out from above at today’s present. This image provides and ethos appeal by implying that gun rights are a constitutional right given to us by the founding fathers. Likewise, this image also suggests that the founding fathers would be disappointed seeing this right taken away.

This speech, when delivered would immensely inspire and encourage the audience, for it contains well-placed rhetoric devices, which evoke great emotion and empathy within people. The purpose of this speech would purely be to motivate and to persuade people to simply be themselves without concerning about society’s opinions. The speaker, who seems to be quite young, though has carefully placed literary devices that would impact audience of any age. The speech uses meticulously planned and placed rhetoric devices, which helps convey the message that everyone should just be himself or herself. The speech begins with an interesting statement instantly arousing the audience’s interest.

     The sniper develops insensitivity to death during the war. When he kills the old woman, she’s trying to run away and isn’t really a threat. He even “utters a cry of joy” when he finally shoots the enemy sniper. This shows how war can get people caught up in the cat-and-mouse “game” aspect of it and forget what they’re actually doing—killing people. People get so caught up in the “game” that they don’t think about the repercussions for their actions.

"The Sniper" places a strong emphasis on the evils of war, and yet paints a vivid image of mankind's qualities and their society. Employing the technique of describing one particular sniper to symbolise a general subject, readers are able to gain a deep insight into the evils of war. In this story, the assembly of setting, contrasting characters and themes of fanaticism and division of loyalties are vital to conveying the horror of war. On the other hand, "The Sniper" also discusses the power of war, depicting it as the decider of life and death for men. Its force is further emphasised when neighbours are turned into enemies under war's influence.

In 1923, the story “The Sniper” was written by Liam O'Flaherty. The story is about a Civil war in Ireland where there were 2 snipers, shooting at each other and they were both on a rooftop with long-range weapons and they don’t know each other but at the end one of the sniper found out that he killed his own brother. The author uses irony and the conflict between the sniper and the other sniper just to tell us the main message which is that we shouldn’t fight each other, we should fight together because we live in the same country and we should fight for our country.

Lastly, the war changed the sniper by misplacing him. The sniper is described as a young person. “His face was the face of a student, thin and aesthetic, but his eyes had the cold gleam of the fanatic.” The use of strong adjectives such as “thin and aesthetic” and “the cold gleam of a fanatic” show how the sniper is misplaced in this environment. Further into the text, youthful guilt became apparent. “The sniper looked at his enemy falling and he shuddered. The lust of battle died in him. He became bitten with remorse.” This use of metaphor shows the reader how quickly his emotions change, showing his guilt and regret for what he has done. Lastly, the snipers curiosity was influenced, as he felt he needed to find out the identity of his victim. He felt this because of how the misplacement had

After much debate, I have chosen to research the language of death. I came to this conclusion after revisiting a website that Professor Delane provided. Not only was the website interesting, but also relatable. The language of death revolves around the idea there is “an entire language of facial expressions and bodily gestures and vocal utterances that make up our communication about all aspects of the dying process” (Carey, 2016). It is a complex and delicate topic that everyone encounters. I intend to focus my paper on three perspectives.

The tone of the author to me is extremely solemn. My reason for this is because the author really wants to get his point across. The subject of bringing cell phones to school is very serious. The author really disagrees that kids are allowed to take their cellphones to school. He gives us many supporting details and a lot of supporting evidence in order to get his argument to the public! Bringing cellphones to school is a negative effect towards learning says the author. He’s saying that if you do not bring your cellphones to school, the level of intelligence would increase juridically. Basically the author wants to put this issue to an end,
