    The Sniper Short Story Analysis

    Comparison and Contrast Essay The stories “Cranes” and “The Sniper” show us the effects of war. The themes of “Cranes” and “The Sniper” are similar due to the war tearing people apart, however, they are different because in “Cranes” the compassion prevails, while in “The Sniper” survival wins over compassion. Both stories themes show us how war reduces human life to nothing and how it tears apart families and friends but that family and friends come first. We see this in “Cranes” when Songsam lets Tokchae escape into the woods.…

    Comparing Soldier's Home 'And How To Tell A True War Story'

    Compare and Contrast “Soldier’s Home” and “How to Tell a True War Story” War can be defined as an ongoing armed conflict between different nations or states. Over the years there have been multiple authors who have written war stories and their effects on individuals. The protagonists in both stories are soldiers of war but they fought in different wars. Tim O’Brien’s How to Tell a True War Story and Soldier’s Home written by Ernest Hemingway are both stories that illustrate the effect war can have on just your average person.

    A Story Of War And Change By Reza Kiarash

    The narrative, “A Story of War and Change” by Reza Kiarash details the gruesome horror of the Iran-Iraq war through the experiences of the author as a paramedic within the Iranian army. What is immediately noticeable by the reader is how the author recounts his memory in short, staccato esque sentences. Evidence of such is provided when the author writes “ Yes, it is”. The lack of sentence sophistication helps immerse the reader into the atmosphere of the campaign the author is fighting in. As events escalate further within the story, the choppy sentences help create an aura of urgency for the reader.…

    Timothy Findlay's The Wars: A Parody Of War

    In Timothy Findlay's the wars, Robert Ross's journey of love, loss and war resembles a parody of romance. When someone thinks parody, they think of mimicking or imitating to criticize an initial piece of work. A parody can neutrally illuminate and/or simply comment upon a piece of work without necessarily mocking it. In this case, we see a parody of the typical romance; a strong male, a damsel in distress or perhaps some sort of wealth and the long fighting journey he takes to get to his goal. In the novel, Roberts journey starts because of loss and he is set out to forget this loss only to find something he didn’t know he was looking for, knowledge.…

    Personal Narrative-It's All Quiet On The Western Front

    It was cold and ordinary evening on March 5, 1770, when I was walking down King street with my friend Henry.

    Gone Home is a narrative exploration game by the company Fullbright that stars Kaitlin Greenbriar returning to her family home after being overseas. Gone Home is often questioned on the complexity of its game play, and is often thought to be more of an interactive story, however it does fulfill the requirements of a game and I will be discussing various game play mechanics in Gone Home such as the different objects and their attributes, rules for game play and the overall design that help to support the narrative, as well as how all of this is used to create an effective story and why this is the best medium for such a story.
