(Wikipedia) Liam O'Flaherty served in the military, which is probably what inspired this story. "After the Battle of Dublin, O'Flaherty left Ireland on 9 July 1922 and moved first to London where, destitute and jobless, he took to writing. In 1923, at the age of 27, O'Flaherty published his first short story, The Sniper ". This happened right after he got out of the war, and the war is probably what sparked this idea.]]> 2022-05-12 21:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2181965687 zoeg26_2 https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2181969845 Parapet-a low protective wall along the edge of a roof, bridge, or balcony.

"The snipper thought the noise would wake the dead"

"The lust of battle died in him"

"he became bitten by remorse. The sweat stood out in beads on his forehead."

"His bullets would never pierce the steel that covered the gray monster."

-  The soldier from the other group saw the spark of the lighter and fired a bullet towards him. The bullet just missed the snipper.
-   The flash from the bullet now showed him wear his enemy was and he know knew exactly were to shoot.
- A man in the turret of a car came around the corner with an old lady talking to him. the lady spots the snipper and informs the man in the turret.
- Before the man in the turret could fire the snippet shot him right in the head, and before he could think agin he shot the old lady too.
- After he shoots them both a pullet comes blazing at him and half way into his arm. He drops his rifle and mutters, "Im hit."
- He grabs a knife and cuts through his jacket to see the bullet. It's half way through his forearm bone, he then wraps up the wound with his teeth.
- He takes off his cap and places it over the rifle, he shoots the bullet and it goes straight through the center of the cap and kills the other snipper.
- The snipper decides he does not enjoy battle anymore, and he feels remorse throughout his body.
- he decides to run over to the other side of the street to see his dead enemy.
- Bullets shoot around him as he runs and he throws himself to the ground beside the dead body. The bullets stop, they think he is dead. 
- once the coast is clear he trows over the body. He realizes it's his own brother he shot.]]> 2022-05-16 00:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2184894093 zoeg26_2 https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186274638 why are soldiers seen as hero's when during war they want to kill people to feel satisfaction of "wining"

The physical setting is on a rooftop in the middle of the night. only the soldiers are they are getting ready for a battle with their guns and protection. The sniper is sitting on the roof eating and having a drink when he decides to have a smoke, and the spark shows the opponent where to shoot.

Chronological
The Chronological setting was set in 1920. the story mentions nothing about his age, and I know almost nothing about his opponent 

Social
The Social setting seems very unclear, and he is fighting with an opposite group. He seems to be on the roof alone, and the other group has more people then his side.]]> 2022-05-16 19:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186290232 zoeg26_2 https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186302739 This text to me makes me feel like the world has too much hate and we all need to come together and bring pease to the world because we never know when life will end.

A text to text connection is how this story relates to T.H.U.G, this relates because of all the violence that was happening in stars neighbourhood. Both stories show different versions of violence around the world.]]> 2022-05-16 19:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186303295 zoeg26_2 https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186303677 A text to world connection for this is the war in Ukraine. Both things involve killing others to 'win' something or someone like pride. No one knows how the war is going to end just like how we got no conclusion on the end of the war in the story.

The snipper seems like a protagonist because he is the main character, the whole story revolves around him, and he is the one readers should focus on the most.  




The snippers opponent 
His opponent seems like an Antagonist because he is the other fighter who is fighting agest the protagansest. There is no "bad guy" in this story, but the two are fighting agest each other.]]> 2022-05-16 19:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186350915 zoeg26_2 https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186355086 The theme of this story is showing that we need to be careful and step int others shoes before we act. we always need to think before we act because we might make a mistake like how the snipper shot his brother by accident. ]]> 2022-05-16 19:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeg26_2/6wwtf4y8frwakpb4/wish/2186355086
