Falklands War

O'Flaherty you will see how the author uses words to speed up, slow down the tempo, and use a rapid succession of conflicts in his story to see how he creates the theme of suspense. In his story, a student is waiting on a building in the middle of a war between the Free-staters and Republicans. It tells of how he faces danger many times throughout and what obstacles he goes through like being shot at by another sniper only to find out that the other sniper wasn’t who he thought. The author…

Often in the history of war, we forget those who fought it. We remember names of people and days they died, but it often slips our mind that they were people. They had families. They had mothers.

authors Liam O’Flaherty and Thomas Hardy send the message that war influences people to perform actions that they would never repeat in other circumstances, ripping families apart and destroying lives. Both authors use the literary device of irony to convey their points. In The Sniper, a sniper shoots and kills an enemy before he “[turns] over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face”.

offered a new name for the War Department—The Department of Defense. Truman’s new logo and new cabinet title, however, paled in comparison to the Marshal Plan’s contribution toward peace and stability for war-ravaged, Western Europe. Under the Marshal Plan, $12 billion in aid and a constabulary force created the conditions necessary to deter expansion of the Russian conventional threat and secure the victory.
