my own rifle up on the top and crouched down and kept watch. I squinted thinking I saw a figure of a man, but it was just the fog playing tricks with my mind. I turned to see a younger soldier, maybe 17 load his Ross. He shuffled around with the rifle, but then seemed to have figured it out. Suddenly I heard a gunshot go off, and I ducked.

Written in second person, the text creates a bias of Vic’s town. The main theme in the text is anxiousness. This is seen as Vic’s father leaves for work, causing Vic to rely on his father’s rifle for rest and safety. This is amplified as Winton states that Vic checks the safety bolt repeatedly for his “piece of mind.” Through the use of the word “piece” instead of “peace” Winton suggests that the gun has literally become a ‘piece’ of Vic’s…
