The Sniper

The Sniper is my favorite short story because it shows the terrible truth about a civil war that I had never heard of. The Sniper tells the story of a man who unknowingly kills his brother. Before reading about the story I didn’t know about the Irish Republican Army and thought that the IRA was the true government and that the Free Staters were a rebellious group. I assumed that the “Free” part in Free Staters was rebellious and that the Republic in the IRA was governmental. Learning about the horrible civil war was interesting, but I hope that wars like this wont happen again.
