Jack Reacher

Summary There is a sniper on a roof waiting to fire. While he is waiting he is shot at by an unseen enemy who is on another roof. Since he can’t find the other sniper he decides to shoot an informer he sees on the street below, causing him to be shot in the arm. This leaves him unable to lift his rifle, and therefore unable to use it correctly. He decides that the only way to be rid of the enemy sniper is to get him to become visible. The sniper tricks the enemy into thinking that he is dead, and the enemy stands up, believing he is safe to do so. The sniper kills him and he falls to the street. The sniper decides to go down and see who he had been up against. When he turns over the body of his dead enemy he sees that it was his brother that had been shooting at him. Context This story comes from the civil war of Ireland, which occurred from 1921 to 1923. Specifically, it happened during the Battle of Dublin in 1922. This was due to the divide between Republicans and Free Staters because of differences in religion and how the country should be divided. The author of the story was himself a veteran of World War I and had knowledge of how awful war could be. I think that he wrote this text to model his previous experiences with war due to how the soldier seems to be used to fighting by this time, as the author probably was. On page 3 the text states “The Republican soldier smiled and lifted his revolver above the edge of the parapet.” This suggests that he was no longer…

Day one of my captivity I have been captured by the enemy. They came in the evening with their large trucks and their strange, thin radios, which they kept tapping with their fingertips. I wondered at first if they were typing in Morse Code, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t any code I recognized. They asked me if I knew what was going on. Of course I knew. The enemy had come for me and was taking me to a POW camp. It was only a matter of time before they discovered the work I had been doing in my…

weird inside almost like I was scared. A random face comes up to me and asks ‘’did you win your math thing James’’. I said ‘’yeah in unusual way. For a second I thought he joking or something. As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man straight across the room. I only see a blur. Then after he’s on the ground I could see him clearly. I could also hear people chanting like wild animals. Then I…

The park was crowed as everyone cherished his last game. It was a special moment, the kids felt like rockstars.Their laughs and smiles brightened up my day. "Darryl!" I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field. I could smell the popcorn in the air, and Jack said he wanted some so I bought it. "Today 's my last game" said Jack "are you coming…

1. THEME: The theme in the realistic fiction story Wonder by R.J Palacio is, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it’s the inside that counts. I know that’s probably the most cliche saying ever but, it’s true especially in the book Wonder. I say this because the main character August isn’t very well liked at first by anyone but Summer, because of the way he looks, this is especially sad because August has an amazing personality according to Jack, Jack says “... if all the guys in the fifth…
