The Sniper by Liam O’Flaherty,Suspense
Set during the weeks of the long and horrible irish civil war.A brave soldier fight’s back almost getting himself killed multiple times,the confused but brave sniper ends up killing his brother over the war.”Almost immediately,a bullet flattened itself against the parapet of the roof” (O’flaherty page 1)
In The Sniper the author creates suspense by the use of timing,action and word choice. The author uses increasing pacing in the text to create suspense.In the text it says “Just then a armoured car came across the bridge and advanced slowly up the street.” (O’Flaherty page 1)This quote helps create suspense because It happened just then so it came fast out of nowhere over the bridge and went slowly up the street so it makes you wonder if they see him or as if
