Write a narrative poem about the story "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty

The long June twilight

Faded into the night.

Dublin in the dark lay,

By Liffey and Dublin Bay.

The guns broke the silent dark,

Like a lone farm dogs bark.

Republicans and Free Staters

Were waging civil war like traitors.

On a rooftop a sniper lay,

Watching in the night so grey,

With him he had his rifle,

And any noises he had to stifle.

His face was thin and ascetic,

His eyes gleamed of a fanatic;

They were so cold and deep,

Used to looking at men sleep.

He was eating a sandwich hungrily,

And took a short draft of whiskey.

He considered risking a smoke,

Hoping that he wouldn't choke.

He did and lit it up hurriedly,

As a bullet shot suddenly,

Flattening itself against the parapet.

Taking one more whiff, he put out the cigarette.

He peered over the parapet to see

His Free Stater sniper enemy.

Another bullet whizzed over his head,

He dropped as though he was dead.

Rolling over the roof to the rear,

To a chimney to look far and near.

There was nothing to be seen,

His enemy was completely unseen.

An armoured car across the bridge rolled,

Advancing slowly in a manner so bold;

It's dull motor panting in the street,

The sniper watched while his heart did beat.

It was an enemy car,

A shot was not too far.

This the sniper knew,

But it was useless to do.

yan [13]

The three persuasive appeals that I have heard are:

  • Ethos
  • Pathos
  • Logos
<h3>What is Logos?</h3>

This refers to the persuasive appeal that makes use of logic to convince a person about a particular viewpoint.

Hence, we can see that the way I responded to logos when it was used on me was that I was convinced and as a result, acted, because he made use of sound logic.

Answer:

Your answer is Option A

Explanation:

Based on the given poem, the narrator says that he hears the flute of the narrator from his room and it is very beautiful, when it is dark.

He further narrates that in the daytime when the neighbor plays the flute, he does not want to hear it because it is daylight and the neighbor is far and has a bald head so he runs away and looks for something else to occupy his time.

When night time approaches, when he bears the flute, he tries to remove the image of the fat, bald man and think of him as a young man and the music is sweet to his ears once again.

The contrast the narrator creates develops the theme of the poem by portraying the narrator's vanity by wanting the beauty of the music to match the image of the man (option A)
