Artemon [7]3 years ago
8 0
The theme of the short story “The Sniper,” is that war reduces humanbeings to mere objects. To further explain it is that they have no names, no faces. That they are just targets and nothing more, to be shot at from a distance. To support this theme Liam O'Flaherty refrains to any of his characters

In “Cranes,” why does Song-sam volunteer to escort Tok-chae to Chongdan?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A. Song-sam wants to find out why his old friend is on the communists’ side.

Explanation:

In Hwang Sun-won's short story "Cranes", he delves into the North-South reconciliation political situation between the two Koreas. This story works on the divided political ideologies and how most enmities are a result of misunderstood perceptions of the people.

The two protagonists Song-sam and Tok-chae were childhood friends but had to make political decisions after the intrusion of the Northern Communist forces. While Song-sam fled the village, Tok-chae had to stay behind as he <em>"wanted to be with [his father] in his last moments so that I could close his eyes with my own hand"</em>. Besides, they were poor farmers who depend on the land and can't leave when the harvest was near. And when the North forces retreated and the South was once again reclaimed, Tok-chae was arrested of treason and to be killed.<em><u> Song-sam volunteered to escort his old friend to Chongdam so that he can find the truth about why he did not flee and managed to survive even when the North was controlling the village. </u></em>

How does the setting of the story affect the way the narrator views the civilian?
Leya [2.2K]
Hey there! Sometimes setting can be in another country, or even world, which may effect their ethnicity. Also, time can effect a person. It changes the way they dress, eat, sleep, and live everyday life. Like for instance, say you had a man who lived in america in the 2010s era. You would assume he would be of american ethnicity or have at least a bit of civilian in them, and they would usually dress in a t-shirt and jeans, with a nice pair of shoes. Now say you had someone from Arabia in the 1900s. He would be of Arabian ethnicity, and he would more than likely be wearing a sort of robe to keep the sand off of his body. Also, place can effect the animals they interact with. Say, for instance, the Arabian man had a stead. More than likely it would be a Camel. If the american had a stead, it would more likely be a donkey, horse, or mule. Also, because of the animals they interact with being different, they would also eat different food. Say for instance, the American. More than likely, he would eat Pork, Beef, or even Bacon. But if you had someone from Ireland or Scotland they would more than likely eat Lamb Chops, or even Liver. This sometimes effects the lifespan of the characters, depending on how healthy the food is. See, setting is a lot more important in stories than people think. These are only some of the many ways setting effects the way the narrator views the civilian. Hope this helped!

Thanks!
