In the movie Kyle’s first tour was in 2003 in Fallujah where his first kill as a sniper happened on a little boy and then his mother (Eastwood).

Chris Kyle and William James are both dedicated warriors that had spent hundreds of hours training for a war in a foreign country overseas. Both individuals enjoyed their work during training and craved to fight for their country, however they became addicted to the dangerous and exhilarating thrills of battle. Kyle had written about his journey from high school to becoming a Navy Seal in American Sniper using oxymorons, symbolism and emotional language from the perspective of himself, as well as his wife. Kathryn Bigelow presented the story of James’ experience in Iraq by implementing stylistic features such as music, cinematography and atmosphere. These texts revealed the life of the protagonist in their perspectives showing their frequent close encounters with death, but continue to return on multiple deployments despite the fear, but for the ecstasy of combat.

Chris Kyle, who a lot of us have come to know as the "American Sniper" is a "good" person, but while serving in United States military for the navy seal as a sniper he accepted his situation that required him to perform evil acts.

When he left the military, highly decorated. He started his own security business. In addition, started working with veterans and helping his fellow soldiers that were struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). If we were going to label Kyle and put him under a category, Kyle is a "good" person. Kyle was raised in a proper home, served his country, contributed to society and served his community.

The book American Sniper is written by Chris Kyle and it follows his life and the four tours he served in Iraq while serving in U.S. Navy as a SEAL.

Chris, after surviving the four tours was sadly fatally shot in the states on February 2, 2013 by an ex-marine while trying to help the marine cope with his PTSD. Chris was the definition of a patriot and was willing to do anything to protect the country he loved so much. While reading his book I was able to understand what it is like being an individual who is just a soldier fighting for something that is much larger than oneself. The only reason to read this book in my opinion is to get an understanding of the self sacrifice that every military personnel goes through while protecting our country.

After opening weekend of this much anticipated film, there were several first hand accounts of movie goers leaving the theater who described their experiences leaving the theater as silent and eerie as opposed to the usual raucous that ensues after a movie has concluded. “There is a battle between good and evil in this world, and we send our very best to fight it, and sometimes evil wins. And those of us who stay home have no idea what it’s like to fight that war. When we get a tiny glimpse of it on a screen, it humbles us.
