The Sniper by Nathan Kreidler https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s Created with Padlet en-us 2016-10-06 14:33:08 UTC 2023-02-10 04:53:09 UTC hello@padlet.com What makes a good story? 071234 https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/128831938 Every good story has a beginning, middle , an end, and a great plot. A plot consists of  an introduction,  rising action, climax,  falling action, and a resolution. Of course, stories also need a main character, a setting that’s essential to the narrative, meaningful choices that determine the outcome of the story, and how the reader reacts. But most importantly, a story needs a situation that changes or more commonly, a character that changes.]]> 2016-10-06 14:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/128831938 The Sniper 071234 https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/128847273 2016-10-06 15:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/128847273 Why I think the sniper is a good story. 071234 https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/129360385 The plot for the story is pretty good. In my opinion it is really exciting especially near the middle  with the informer and the guy on the turret . The ending was really good as well. There is a lot of action.]]> 2016-10-09 20:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/129360385 The parts of an effective story. 071234 https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/129517150 Introduction (beginning) -  The introduction was where it was introducing the setting  which was June in Dublin, Ireland at sunset. There was also a war going on. After the setting it also started introducing the main character aka The Sniper.
Rising action - In the rising action, the sniper is kinda just hanging out and then he notices a women in a Shaw talking to a guy in a truck and she's pointing at him. After that someone tries to shoot him.  The enemy sniper misses the first shot but then shoots the sniper in the arm.
Climax (middle)- I think the climax of the story is when the sniper locates the enemy sniper and then  devises  a plan to take out the other sniper.
Falling Action - when the snipers plan is put into action and the events that follow.
Resolution (ending) - The ending of the story is when the sniper kills the enemy sniper and discovers it was his brother all along. ]]> 2016-10-10 14:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/129517150 Other things to mention 071234 https://padlet.com/071234/c7lmlte846s/wish/129813855 Conflict - The war that is going on.
The character is vulnerable especially when he gets shot.
Choices - If he wanted to risk smoking or not.  Or if he wanted to celebrate at the end but he decided to go see the man he killed.
Tension - The story was very tense with the war going on, and the sniper being shot at and all the killing and what not. 
Point of view -  It only talks about the snipers thought and his choices.
Sitting - you are able to read this story pretty quickly it isn't very long. You are able to keep reading it because it is exciting.
