I thesis statement could be, "The man was an experienced soldier and was well prepared for the attack". He could shoot precisely from far away and still remain in secrecy. Also, when he got shot in the arm, he knew exactly how to care for and clean the wound. This could be argued against because he did make one crucial mistake: the man he shot was his brother. I think this would be a good topic for my thesis.

Short Stories
For my three short stories of my choice, I read "The Sniper," "The Return", and "Hills like White Elephants". I truly did not like "The Return". I just found it kind of boring and depressing. "Hills like White Elephants" was alright, but it was extremely confusing. I felt like the author wrote the whole story and then cut it in half to create an ending. That leaves us with "The Sniper". I liked this story a lot, so I'll use this for my thesis.

Well, it looks like Emory, you, and me potentially want to write about the sniper because it truly was a great story. The sniper is the perfect story for a good thesis.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...add another person to that list because the sniper was truly the only story that I actually liked. I told you it was a good story Julia! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness we're all going to be sniping each other for the best ideas and grade. It may be a huge blood bath. Watch out I'm coming with my rifle. As for hills like white elephants, I was thinking about it until I realized that it was about abortion, and that would bring up too many political issues even though it would be a good topic.
