Rainsfords, Montresor, Walter Palmer, and The Sniper all killed. The Sniper was most justified killing his enemy. Three reasons why are because the brother shot first, he didn’t know it was his brother, he didn’t want to die he was already shot,it was a war. This could have happened to anyone. It was sad when that happened. This is why Why The Sniper is justified for killing his brother The brother shot at him first. He didn't know it was his brother it was dark. There was smoke in the air. He could barely see across the way . His brother shot him in the arm. He didn’t want to be found dead up there in the morning. He had to find a way down, but he was shooting at him. He didn’t want to die. I know if anyone was in this situation they would
The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights granted U.S. citizens the right to bear arms. This amendment was passed by Congress on September 25, 1789. It’s original intent was so civilians could use their household weapons for military duty or for their own defense. Much has changed since 1789. Would our founding fathers enact this amendment if citizens had the guns we have today? Would they consider such an amendment if citizens were killing each other on the street, in schools and other public places? There is strong interest on the issue of gun control. Taya Kyle states her views on the subject in her article 'American Sniper ' Widow: Gun Control Won 't Protect Us. My beliefs on the subject clash greatly with hers because I regard gun control as necessary to preserve our safety.
From the brush came the huge crack of a gun being fired. George dropped his gun, and Lennie was frozen in time for a split second, then he fell over in front of George’s feet. He was gone.
The robber refers to Anders as “Bright boy,” and asks him some highly inappropriate questions. The robber was correct, Anders was bright. He had a way with words, a way criticism. That was his life, and that is what put a bullet in his brain.
“Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind”-John Fitzgerald kennedy to the UN general assembly, sept. 25,1961. This quote explains how war will be the end to everything on earth if not stopped. This is connected to “the sniper” because war tears family and friends apart can also ruin the earth and make the earth uninhabitable to live on. The central idea is that war can tear people apart.
In both “The Sniper” and “The Man He Killed” a person dies from a gunshot wound. Both persons had gotten shot because they were the enemy. Each selection is ironic in some way because in the story “The Sniper” the man thinks he shot the enemy but soon he starts growing curious about who he shot, when he gets a closer a look at the person he shot it was his brother. In the poem “The Man He Killed” the soldier towards the end of the poem implies that if it was not for war soldiers and the enemies would get along. Both selections say that war is horrible due to the many
Shadow Sniper crouched behind a boulder and wet his lips. His hand trembled as he checked his silver rifle and made sure it was loaded. It was an unnecessary action, but it made him feel better. His title was at stake, and he wasn’t planning on losing it to someone who refused to show their face—even if that person was the global champion. He took in a deep breath and adjusted his bangs. He had to look good for the cameras. His win would mean nothing if they took an embarrassing picture of
Carl Lee did what he had to do to protect his daughter and even the rest of his family, I believe that he deserves justice for his actions even though he could have handled it a whole lot better. The two men, Billy Ray Cobb and Willard raped and tortured Carl Lee’s daughter, Tonya, and left her to die. Carl Lee didn’t think that justice would be served to the two men that hurt his little girl because they were white and he and his family were black so he put justice in his own hands. Fear and anger rose above him and he took a military grade weapon from the Vietnam War and Carl Lee Hailey gunned down those two men. As written on page 91, “When Cobb reached the second step from the floor, and willard was three steps behind, and Looney was
Kino, Juana, and Coyotito were hiding in the mountain because the trackers had stopped to rest by the water. The tracker with the rifle was awake while his two friends were sleeping beside him. Kino decided that the only way they could escape, would be to kill the tracker with the rifle and kill the other two. “ ‘There is a way,’ he said. ‘But they will kill you.’ ‘If I get the one with the rifle,’ Kino said, ‘I must get him first, then I will be all right. Two are sleeping.’ ” (Steinbeck 83) In this quote, Kino is telling Juana there is a way to escape safely. Juana replies saying the trackers will kill Kino. Kino said that he would get the one with the gun first and then kill the other two that are sleeping. After this, Kino started moving down the mountain slowly. He did not want the trackers to hear him. Then ,all of a sudden, a cry was heard from the mountain. The trackers thought it was a coyote. So the tracker with the gun, shot in the direction of the sound. Kino was in mid-dive as the tracker shot the gun. Kino saw the barrel light up. He stabbed the man in the neck and down to his chest. He took the rifle and swung at the second tracker. The third tracker tried to run away but Kino shot him too. “It bit through neck and deep into the chest, and Kino was a terrible machine now. He grasped the rifle even as he wrenched free his knife… He whirled and struck the head of the seated man like a melon. The third man scrabbled away like a crab… and then he raised the gun and aimed deliberately and fired.” (Steinbeck 86-87) In this quote, Kino is stabbing the tracker with the gun in his neck and deep down into his chest. It says Kino is a machine meaning that he is capable of killing all these men. He then grasped the rifle while he got his knife back. He swung at the man sitting with the rifle. The third man tried running away but Kino shot him. This shows that

He even died trying to prove one of his “abilities”, that he could take any number of blows to the stomach no matter how hard or many, if he was prepared. If I could have shared one piece of advice with him, it would have been to get a reliable job because the Great Depression was about to hit.

Doctor Curt spoke to the boys and told them that the first shot had been an accident; and that he had read the paper and it looked fine, so they could come out. The kids all walked out, they dropped their guns and were handcuffed, except for Zach who went to his mother and got his medication.
He couldn’t believe it, even after the information had sunk in, his brother was dead and the worst part, he had to examine the crime scene. So he slowly got out of his car, took a shaky breath and walked up the pitch black lane to his brother's house. Ducking under the yellow “DO NOT ENTER” tape, he finally was at the door. He peered inside and then slowly walked in. He had already saw the door hanging from it's hinges alone, looking like a broken person. Farther on into the house he found his brother's badge, lying on the ground. The crimson liquid still pooling around his dead body and leaking from a severed blade gouged in h...
