O'Flaherty

The most commonly associated term for this kind of ‘awakening’ or realization is known as the Berkeleyan theme (O’Flaherty). The Berkeleyan theme is a sudden understanding by the speaker or character towards their surroundings. Alice has woken up from her dream of Wonderland. Then, she comes face to face with her reality and solemnly wishes to return back to her dream-like state (O’Flaherty). Coincidently, Carroll has the same mindset as his creation, he longs to return to a simpler time rather than

Compared to The Flowers, by Alice Walker, and The Sniper, by Liam O’Flaherty, The Dogs Could Teach Me, by Gary Paulsen, was the most descriptive. A good piece of descriptive writing really allows the reader to picture and see what is happening within the story. In The Dogs Could Teach Me, Gary Paulsen uses wording like, “...falling lobes of blue ice...” and “blood was welling out of the tear, soaking the cloth and the ice underneath the wound,” to allow the reader to see and visualize exactly what

sniper shot at him, or when the woman pointed to him. These are both conflicts that keep you suspicion level extremely high. Us as readers need to be entertained almost every paragraph. Like when the sniper got shot, “ ‘I’m hit.’ He muttered.” (O’Flaherty 1)Lack of entertainment, may cause the reader's lack of attention to the story. And boy oh boy this story gives you great entertainment. If nobody was getting shot at, then the suspense would be the sniper trying to cure for his bleeding forearm

Maggiore/Konie English I 17 November 2017 Power Through Adversity is when people have to overcome a problem even though it might be hard for them to do. Overcoming a problem can make people stressed out or nervous that they are doing something wrong. Liam O’Flaherty made The Sniper from “The Sniper” face many hard times throughout the story. While The Sniper was protecting himself from danger, Richard Connell made Rainsford from “The Most Dangerous Game” run from his own game. The Sniper faced adversity by

Liam O'Flaherty's nonfiction story, “Sniper,” takes place in Dublin, Ireland in 1922. The sniper in is positioned on a roof of a building looking for enemies to shoot down. When he did his job he was ashamed of what he had done. Liam O’Flaherty uses the theme treat every person with dignity, and the craft moves that he used imagery and short choppy sentences to make the story better and more suspenseful. In the story Sniper there are many themes, but the one theme that stands out the most was

This summer I was at the Ottawa County fair doing the off-road Derby. I wasn't sure about doing it at first, but my mom and dad said I would be fine.I got to choose what number I was and I got to choose what color it was too. In the end my mom and dad were right, it was fun and I got 3rd place for my first time. By doing the derby for the first time I showed Bravery. Bravery has risks and to other people they could be good risks and bad risks.The character’s Louie from the book Unbroken and the sniper

and how his description of the setting emphasizes the reality of war. From the beginning of the story, O’Flaherty portrays a dark and dull setting of war. “Dublin lay enveloped in darkness but for the dim light of the moon that shone through fleecy clouds, casting a pale light as of approaching dawn over the streets and the dark waters of the Liffey.” (O’Flaherty) In this passage, O’Flaherty describes the setting of a simple street in Dublin at dawn.

In The Sniper, a short story by Liam O'Flaherty, we follow a Republican sniper in the midst of a civil war. Throughout the story, the sniper is facing off with another enemy sniper, who eventually shoots the man in the shoulder. With that hit, this gave the sniper a reason to defend himself and fight back. The man was only doing what he had to do to survive. Near the beginning of the story, it is shown that an enemy tanker approached where the man was hiding. A lady then confronted the tanker and

perfect score. Intelligence can be shown in many different ways, including plans, and grades. Two characters I read about shared this trait, Hanna Mendel from Playing for the commandant by Suzy Zail and the IRA sniper from “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty. Hanna Mendel and the IRA sniper are both intelligent because the sniper is able to think quickly of a plan that will save his life and Hanna uses her intelligence to get good grades in school, and to avoid being shot. Hanna is intelligent because
