There are a lot of changes "The Sniper" goes through throughout the story.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The short story ‘The Sniper’ by ‘Liam O’Flaherty’ describes the effects of war on human beings. In the beginning of the story, Sniper is described as thin and young yet ‘fanatic’. He is a war-ravaged soldier who is excellent as what he does. He killed the man in the tank and the woman on the roof.
He behaved calmly even in the tense situations. But when he saw the body of his enemy falling, he started disliking the war. He felt awful and shattered knowing that he had killed someone else. Soon he found that the man he killed was his brother, but still he had to leave his brother behind and join his group back in his homeland.
The main theme of "The Road Not Taken" is that life is full of choices which will define our destinies. The speaker spends a while deliberating when he comes to a fork in the road, which symbolizes a choice he must make in his life.
“Mystery is when the spectator knows less than the characters in the movie. Suspense is when the spectator knows more than the characters in the movie.” The fact that two terms often considered synonyms have actually two opposite definitions may surprise, but once you go deeper the difference is even enlightening.
