An essay on the short story: "The Sniper".

What do you think was the author's purpose for writing "The Sniper"? What ideas has O'Flaherty tried to convey to the reader? How does the ending of the story play into his plan and why did he end the story in that way?

I hope you aren't asking for someone to write an essay for you...do you need help figuring out how to begin? Think about the implications of the sniper killing his own brother. Do you know about the conflict in Ireland over independence from Britain? Families were often split on the issue ...and sometimes brothers fought against brothers

Yep, this is a forum for collaboration. It's not intended as a resource for people who want to outsource their homework! Just try enjoying the literature. Many people find profound experiences in literature...
