In “The Sniper” Liam O’Flaherty uses scenes of violence to illustrate the theme: “War divides brothers”.

conflict between different countries or different ethnic groups within a country causes war. Many populations want this radical movement to stop. Civilians are affected by the outbreak of wars and it influences the way the country or population can recover with most individuals not having a safe or secure future. Former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, General Peter Cosgrove states “Populations caught up in war naturally want it to stop, they want to live in peace, governed by themselves, safe

Chris Kyle had some much training he had to go through. One critic stated “he had been at war or training for a war for a decade. In places, he sounds downright nasty, but that’s what we created.

a story of Henry’s personal struggles with conscience, fear and bravery. Henry, or “The Youth” as Crane calls him, goes through a psychological transformation from a naive, cowardly individual to a mature, brave soldier. The challenges he faces in war help mold him into his future-self, a national hero. The story begins with Henry dreaming of becoming a hero like the Greek gods and enlists in the army thinking of it as an easy way of turning into a hero. From the first time the thought of enlisting

Clint Eastwood created what some would call a “masterpiece” and “shows the raw truth about what it's like to be a real American soldier in the war”.

Initially, the author uses death imagery to emphasize the scene of the story, “with the machine gunner’s head hanging lifelessly over the turret. The woman’s corpse lay still in the gutter.” This quote gives the reader a visualization of the street in the story where everything is lifeless, silent and depressing.
