Rainsford Palmer And The Sniper Research Paper

177 Words1 Page

Rainsford, Montresor,Palmer and the sniper all killed. The sniper was the most justified in the killing of his enemy. I think that the sniper was the most justified to kill his enemy because the other sniper was shooting at him and he had to do something about it or he would have got shot again.
Another reason for him to kill his enemy was that if he had not of killed the other sniper then he would have probably been killed himself. The sniper had the choice of either killing the other sniper or being killed himself and he chose killing the other one before getting killed himself. If the other sniper had not have been killed he would still be shooting at the sniper, and he would be killing other people or he would be shooting at them. The

    The Republican sniper had medical knowledge from training that helped him, for the rest of his life. An opposing sniper on a rooftop targeted and shot the Republican sniper. The shot had left his arm immobilized, and left him in a lot of pain. Since the bullet was still in his arm and most likely fractured the bone, the Republican sniper saturated the bullet hole with iodine to prevent infection and clean the wound. Then, he covered the wound in a piece of cotton and added the dressing over it.

    709 Words  | 3 Pages

    On March 5, 1770, five people died at the hands of British soldiers in Boston, Massachusetts. Based on an analysis of the eyewitness testimonies, medical examiner’s reports, and the crime scene, it was determined that the soldiers did not commit murder, but rather acted in self-defense. Many eyewitness testimonies clearly describe the mob as threatening to the point where the soldiers felt they were in danger. Dr. John Jeffries, the surgeon attending to Patrick Carr, who died during the incident, states that Carr said the soldier who shot him “had no malice, but fired to defend himself.”

    The portrayal of a soldier is the theme that I have been researching. The portrayal of a soldier is to show different characteristics and emotions of soldiers either during war or when they return from war. The four texts I looked at is, the film/movie directed by Ted Kotcheff, “Rambo”, “The Sniper” written by Liam O’Flaherty, “Forrest Gump” directed by Robert Zemeckis and the song, “Goodnight Saigon” written and performed by Billy Joel. These four texts all portray soldiers in either similar or different ways. Two texts that portray soldiers as being fearful are The Sniper by Liam O'Flaherty and Rambo directed by Ted Kotcheff.

    But in that case the sniper goes over to see the person who he had shot. And surely enough it was someone that is very close to him, it was his own brother… “The Sniper” uses language purposefully because ; First, at the beginning of the story, the author uses the words “fleecy” to describe the clouds. We also know that the sun was setting at the time because of the quote : “The long June twilight faded into night. ”(1) Usually when the sun sets there are beautiful fleecy clouds but in this case, right after the author says it, there is the violence of the war that starts which takes a huge mood and plot change in the story.

    The intelligent and strategic sniper has to protect his life by killing others, and even though his brother dies because of this he was correct in his decision to kill. The sniper enjoys very much his job and is willing to fight for the republican side,“They were deep and thoughtful, the eyes of a man who is used to looking at death.” (O’flaherty, 2). This shows that the sniper is committed to the job he is required to perform. He knows he is always exposed to death and is never safe, so he always uses his critical thinking and strategic planning to get out of a dangerous situation.

  • The Sniper Analysis

    1187 Words  | 5 Pages

    The third person single vision point of view of a tough sniper fighting a civil war enemy, in Liam O’Flaherty’s “The Sniper,” plays with the reader’s emotions throughout the story. He employs third person single vision point of view to tell the sniper’s intense adventure from an outside narrator who has access to the mind of the protagonist. O’Flaherty chose third person single vision POV because distancing the reader is the only way to develop a tough protagonist that the reader can be intimate with, taking into account his limited intellectual skills. Having sensory details about the sniper from the single vision third person POV narrator in addition to knowing the protagonist 's thoughts while combating an enemy, allows O’Flaherty to characterize “The Sniper” into a hefty person. Some may argue, writing in first person point of view would have created a tough protagonist because they would see it through the eyes of the sniper who they automatically assume is resilient.
