Literary essay

In the story 'sniper', the sniper is a brave protagonist. why is he a brave protagonist? because He conflict? to his enemy, and he was wounded but he defeated, the enemy. This is why sniper is brave protagonist. First of all, he faught with enemy. But he is alone. This is impossible. How to defeat that many enemy just only himself? However, he did it. This is very amazing part. In the story he was a shadow. No one know that sniper's movement. But smoking make him be found by enemy. This is little disappointing, when he shot the woman and man who is in the tank, that part is real shadows attack. Therefore he is brave. Second reason is thant he was wounded but he won. This is so surprising. The bullet penetrates his arm. But he didn't shout. This means that he is a expert killerand a real warrior. also he didn't give up. he prepared counter attack for enemy. so he like fox that very smart and clever. and then he succeed in his attack and he killed all the enemies. In the resolution just he is alive. He fight with injured arm. and killed mayn enemies, just himself. So, this is why sniper is brave protagonist
