The Sniper

For my three short stories I read Hills Like White Elephants, The Sniper, and The Return.
In The Sniper i noticed that most of the story has to do with the setting. When things happen in the story happen because of the setting and it adds to the suspense and action of the story.

for my thesis, i want to focus on the setting of the story and how it affects the outcome of the story. I want to show how where they are and where they go adds to the rising and falling action. the rising action is shown by location and the falling action is shown how the sky and places around him get dark and gloomy.

  1. I think focusing on setting in "The Sniper" could definitely work. I'd be interested to see where that goes.

  2. Iv'e notices that many people are interested by "The Sniper" maybe because of it's length or maybe we all share a common interest. Anyway, like Gavin said, stick to setting in this story because if it's hard affects on The Sniper. Lastly be sure to capitalize all "I" in your blogs.
