The Sniper, by Liam O'Flaherty, is a fiction novel centered around the dehumanization of war. In the short story, a Republican sniper remains positioned atop the rooftops of Dublin. Nighttime has fallen, and the moment he lights a cigarette, an enemy sniper, a Free Stater, fires a bullet directly over his head. Positioned atop the building directly across from sniper rests the enemy that took aim. Immediately after, an armored car arrives at the scene, and an old woman in a tattered shawl informs them of the Republican snipers position. A turret unleashes itself atop the armored car, but the sniper is too nimble and terminates both the man behind the turret and the old woman.
Suddenly, a shot rings out from the opposing rooftop, striking the sniper in the arm and forcing him to drop his rifle from the excruciating pain. Our unassailable sniper trudges on regardless. "Then he lay still against the parapet, and, closing his eyes, he made an effort of will to overcome the pain," (O'Flaherty, 1923, p. 2). The sniper is clever and hastily devises a plan to shoot the enemy with just his pistol from fifty yards away. He props his hat up on his rifle, giving the enemy sniper plenty of time to take his shot, and mocks his own death by letting the hat fall to the bottom of the building and slumming his hand over the edge. His arm trembles from the recoil, and the clearing smoke reveals his target: writhing in pain, and eventually dead.
After drinking from his flask to dull the sensations of war, curiosity compels the sniper to unmask his target's identity. "He threw himself face downward beside the corpse... Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face," (O'Flaherty, 1923, p. 3). This guides one's attention back to our theme, the dehumanization of war. The antagonist and Free Stater sniper who fires at the Republican sniper in the beginning is actually his brother.
This is the best summary I could make. I used every strong verb I could, avoiding state of being verbs and passive voice, and cited my quotations appropriately. I don't know about authorial stems unfortunately, nor do I know what to highlight and underline, so you are on your own for those. This should give you a good idea on what to do though. I hope this helps :)
what was one thing that was very important to colonists during the time of the Stamp Act?
Answer:
Instead of levying a duty on trade goods, the Stamp Act imposed a direct tax on the colonists. Specifically, the act required that, starting in the fall of 1765, legal documents and printed materials must bear a tax stamp provided by commissioned distributors who would collect the tax in exchange for the stamp.
Or/and
In an effort to raise funds to pay off debts and defend the vast new American territories won from the French in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), the British government passes the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765.

Answer:

Explanation:
The book "The Machine Stops" is about a future where machines are in charge of every facet of human life.
Two characters in the book Vashti and her son Kuno who are inhabitants of this new world. Kuno somehow manages to get to the surface outside of the influence of the machines and he tells his mother how the surface is and how the machines can't rule them forever.

How does the author's choice to reveal the woman's blindness in the last paragraph contribute to the overall story?
Answer and Explanation:
This question refers to the short story "The Mouse", by Saki.
The main character is Theodoric Voler, a man who has been raised in a most overprotected manner. He finds the world to be full of annoyances and disturbances.
The theme of this story revolves around Theodoric's self-centeredness. He is so busy worrying about himself, about his image in front of others, and about his comfort that he fails to notice and pay attention to other people's sufferings and misfortunes. That theme is developed at the climax of the story. It turns out that the woman who is sharing the train carriage with Theodoric is blind. He had been utterly embarrassed throughout their trip because he needed to half undress in order to get rid of a mouse that was crawling under his clothes.
Theodoric suffered terribly, to the point of shivering, imagining what that woman could be thinking of him. Too concerned about his own petty problems, he failed to realize her blindness. The author only reveals her blindness at the end of the story, which means readers have suffered all the while with Theodoric, wondering what that woman's reaction would be. By being told about her blindness in the last paragraph, readers are left surprised and maybe even a bit upset at Theodoric and all his unnecessary worry.
