“First Persuasive Paragraph.”

 Students should be given money to buy Christmas gifts for their friends because if their best friend buys a gift and wants one to make it fair then student has to tell his friend that he didnt get him a gift because he didnt get any money for gift so now he gets a gift but his friend is also mad at him. If kids didnt get money to buy gifts for his friends it is basically taking all the students friends away because if their friend gets them a gift and wants one because it is christmas and the student get any money the friends are going to get mad because they spent money on their friend and their friend didnt get them one small present. That is why I think students should get money to buy gifts for their friends.

"The Sniper" and "Cranes" Theme Comparison Essay.

  Both stories are alike because the two characters are at war. The stories "Cranes" and "The Sniper" both are similar to each other. Then the main characters changed there ways by not killing people. They are both alike by having to kill people that are precious to them. In both story’s they find out war is very tragic because you can kill people that are close without knowing.

  Normally, soldiers fight against strangers. But in both story’s the main character fought against one of their family members or one of their friends.  "Cranes" and "The Sniper" are alike because in both interactions the main characters are forced to fight or kill there family members and also friends. The stories are also alike because in each story the government is after one of the characters. Tokchae in the story "Cranes," he killed people. Then in the story "The Sniper" the narrator killed many people including his own blood brother.

 The main characters in the story Sniper are the narrator and his brother, the spy, and the men driving the armored car. The conflict in the story was the narrator getting shot at. Then the conflict was resolved by the narrator finding a way how to kill his enemy. The narrator changed as soon as he seen the face of his beloved brother dead. The theme of the story is when people are in war, they are taught to kill each other without hesitation.

  The main characters in the Crane are Songsam and also Tokchae, which used to be his child hood playmate. The conflict in the story was when Songsam was forced to shoot his friend. The conflict was resolved when Songsam let Tokchae go like when they both let a crane go, when they were younger. Songsam changed when he let Tokchae go so he can change his loyalty. Theme is that people's  friendship can overcome war.

  The topic of both story’s are about war. In the story The Sniper the narrator is forced to kill his own brother without knowing. In the story the Crane the main character Songsam was forced to kill his old child hood friend, but looked back to the times that they had and let his friend go instead of killing him. The main idea of the Sniper is that the narrator chaged his ways after looking into the face of his dead brother, and the main idead of the Crane songsam let his friend Tockha go so he can change his ways, and his loyalty. One final idea of both story’s is that in the end of both story’s both characters changed their ways.

"The Sniper” Before or After Narrative.

After droping to the ground to find out that he just killed his own brother he got a terrible feeling kreeping up from his stomach and a second later he ended up vomiting on his brother.After telling his dead brother sorry for vomiting on him, the soldier decided to get up and make a run for a shed that was only twenty yards away where he had stashed a bunch of bullets and guns befor he went on gaurd. So after the soldier took about ten steps he heard the sounds of the machine gun bullets hitting the ground, when he heard that he decided to run faster and after he took five more steps he felt a sharp pain in his left ankle and fell to the ground. When he hit the ground he grabed his ankle and started swearing as loud as he could because of the pain he was in. While the soldier was laying on the ground grabing his ankel he heard the sounds of a car engine, as he looked over his left shoulder he heard the sounds of a mans voice saying” I think I hit him lets see”. As the armored car rolled up to where the soldier was laying two men hoped out of the car and started to laugh and said “ look at this worthless peace of time god used he could of used the time for something else then making this”. So after listening to the two guys talk trash about him he started to swear at them and swear to them about their families, when the soldier was done talking the two enemys took out a gun and shot the soldier in his head.
