AnimeGhoul8863:

Part 1: Analysis In complete sentences, respond to the following questions for ONE of the short stories from the lesson: "The Boarded Window," "Beware of the Dog," or "The Sniper." Remember that analysis means you will use quotations from the story you read to support your answers. Demonstrate your answer is correct by including support from the story and an explanation. For example, a question asking, "How does the author create suspense?" might be answered with: The author creates suspense in his first line: "When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to the funeral." By beginning with an ending–the funeral–Faulkner prepares the reader for a story full of twists and surprises.

AnimeGhoul8863:

Describe the physical setting of the story. Which words or descriptions contribute to the emotional setting or mood? What is the mood that results from the author’s use of description?

AnimeGhoul8863:

In this story the physical setting in this story is that the sniper is on top of a roof in a town. His mission is to take down the enemy sniper but what he doesnt know is that the enemy sniper was his own brother which would cause a very regretful and saddened mood. "Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother's face."

Elsa213:

Gewdiee e.e

AnimeGhoul8863:

Elsa213:

AnimeGhoul8863:

The theme of this story is that you never know who your fighting in war. But when you do you might regret what you did. The final lines of this story turned the whole story around in a way i did not expect. The author states in the end "Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother's face."

Elsa213:

AnimeGhoul8863:

4. What techniques does the author use to create a surprise ending?

AnimeGhoul8863:

The author uses short sentences to create suspense which creates a surprise ending

Elsa213:

Yeee

AnimeGhoul8863:

5. Were you surprised by the twist? If so, why? If not, what should the author have done to make the ending more surprising and effective?

AnimeGhoul8863:

Yes i was surprised at the end because i wasnt expecting the enemy to be the snipers brother. I thought the enemy sniper was going to be his childhood friend or something around that area.

AnimeGhoul8863:

6. What was your experience in reading this story? Did it evoke fear or physically have an effect on you? Why or why not?

AnimeGhoul8863:

This story didnt evoke fear to me though it was very interesting to read because it was like watching a world war movie in my head i could see the sniper rip his sleeve and pour the liquid on his wound to clean it up. The Author was very visual and used alot of details in the story to show imagery.

AnimeGhoul8863:

PART 2 Choose just one of the following creative writing exercises. Have fun! Create a surprise ending to an original story. You don't need to write a whole story—just the twist ending. Begin with a short summary of the setting, characters, plot, and conflicts in your story. Then, write an ending to your story with an unexpected twist using the techniques learned in this lesson. You should only need two or three fully developed paragraphs. Be sure to label at least three of the techniques used to demonstrate what you've learned. Create an alternative ending for the story you read in the lesson. Summarize any necessary changes you made in the action of the story for your surprise ending to make sense. Fully develop your alternative ending in two or three paragraphs. Demonstrate what you've learned in this lesson by labeling at least three techniques you used.
