Rhetorical Analysis Of The Sniper By Liam O Flaherty

American Sniper puts an emphasis on showing the public, soldiers don’t lose any sense of humanity when joining the military. They are still civilians with a background story, who emote like everybody else on earth. With the flood of video games like Call of Duty and films such as Rambo, it’s too often the media portrays soldiers as war prone robots. Clint Eastwood seemed very determined to break any false portrayals of soldiers, manifested by the media.

Based on the articles “Armed & Underage” by Jeffrey Gettleman and “The Charge:Genocide” by Lydia Polgreen I believe that war causes hard times for countries and their people because first, they are drafting children into the army and because genocides are occuring.

Different voices and tones depict the various ways that characters in a novel suffer. Julia Alvarez, Tim O’Brien, Zainab Salbi, and Sebastian Junger illustrate the hardship of war, and how a war participant is shaped by the concept of war.

In Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of the Butterflies, Alvarez parallels a historical event with fictional sisters who fight a war by not succumbing to the suppressive laws.
