"The Sniper" Text
Rephrase the question in your answer and answer in complete sentences.
Questions:
1. What were your first thoughts at the end of the story?
2. In your opinion, does the sniper have any other choice than to kill the man on the opposite roof? Give reasons for your answer.
3. How do you think the sniper would justify killing the old woman?
4. How do you think the sniper feels about what he is doing? (Think about: the description of his eyes at the beginning of the story; his first reaction to shooting the other gunman; his reactions while watching the other gunman fall.)
Then:
Find one simile from the story. Write it down, explain what two things are being compared, and what word makes it a simile (i.e. like, as, than).
Find one example of onomatopoeia. There are at least three in this story. If you find two, you will get a bonus point.
What is ironic about the ending of the story? Is it dramatic, verbal, or situational irony.
