Short story journaling two
The two stories I read, are the Sniper and The Scarlet Ibis. In both stories the brothers lost someone dear to them. In the first story, The Sniper. The republican sniper was typing to get rid of the Free Stater Sniper, but when he did, he found out that he had just shot his brother. Because the Free Staters and Republicans were at war. Families were divided , brother fought brothers, and Fathers fought their sons. The next story I read was the Scarlet Ibis, the relationship between the older brother and Doodle was strong but yet also strained. It was strong because of how close they were and how they helped each other out. It was strained because the older brother kept pushing Doodle to harder then what was necessary. In conclusion, you can see that both relationships were at fault cause both brothers lost someone that was dear them.
