Sniper's View


"The Sniper", is a short story with many hidden messages. It is about a civil war that has brothers fighting brothers.
The story shows that a person's feelings can change vastly depending on how they decide to view a situation. This image shows a man who is also a sniper, simply as a target. He is not being considered a person and feelings are not involved. In the story the sniper merely saw his opponent as a target and his feelings later changed when he learned that it was his brother.
This story shows just how easy it is for people to ignore humanity and see other people as numbers, or targets, or even opportunities.
