    “The Scar”, by Kildare Dobbs, is a moving, emotional account of the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. The author creates interest as well as suspense by using two storylines. One follows the experiences of a 15 year old Japanese girl, Emiko. The other, in great contrast, follows the story of an American co-pilot, Captain Robert Lewis, who was aboard the Enola Gay, a US Air Force B-29, that carried the first operational atom bomb. Throughout the narrative, the author switches back and forth between these two accounts which creates situational irony as the reader experiences both sides of the story, however, the two characters remain unaware of each other.…

    The boy feels uncomfortable with what makes his writing his, and steers away from letting his inner thoughts onto paper. The narrator is subsequently cut-off from the writing-focused environment of the school, unable to voice his true literary yearnings and motives because he does not want to bring attention to what sets him apart; his style and faith. The narrator continually chooses to not divulge the secret of his Jewish ancestry to his peers because the Jewish boys at the schools had a, “subtly charged field around them, an air of apartness” (Wolff, 24). Through his discomfort with putting his ideas to paper, he finds his inner voice in writing, yet is still held in internal exile by the judgement of his peers. This is evident when the narrator expresses his reservations about submitting his poem surrounding a fireman the morning after dealing with a blaze into the Frost contest.…

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…
