While working on Jack, a Japanese soldier popped up from a trench and the Corpsman shot him dead. A mortar barrage had held up the stretcher-bearers and one even dropped his end because from exhaustion, splitting Jack’s head open on a rock. Jack supposedly just smiled at the man sympathetically as if to say, I appreciate what you are trying to do. “The broken, bloody, shrapnel-riddled Jack that the stretcher-bearers had hustled away had been seventeen years old for less than a week.”(Standring Pg.2) After having a poncho placed over him and being injected with morphine, young Lucas thought he was a goner. “While being lifted onto an LST, he was almost dropped into the sea, having only been caught by the foot.
Action movie material. We reached it just in time, I was able to revive the two downed soldiers and deploy a medkit to heal the rest.

In “The sniper” two soldiers battled against each other from opposite roofs and one ended up being killed. In “Cranes”, Two childhood friends meet during the brink of war and one has to take the other one to his death, but in the end, he decides not to and lets him go. People die in “The Sniper”, while no one actually dies in “Cranes”. “The Sniper” is set in battle, and “Cranes” is set in the countryside where there is no battle at all.

When Henry tries to stop him to gain some information about what is going on in the battle, the soldier hits the Youth over the head with his rifle. From this point forward, however, things begin to sort out for Henry.

By using strategy, the sniper figures out a way to fool the enemy and kills him. Saving his life by taking out another, felt so bad. With guilt, and loss of lust for the war, the sniper became curious of the identity he had killed. The climax of the whole story happens at the very end when the sniper finds out he killed his own brother. Though, the story’s ending is ironic due to the sniper recognizing that the enemy killed was his brother.
In the first verse Ho Thien describes the weakness of a young Vietnamese boy as the American soldier in charge, Green Beret commands him to reveal the location of the Viet Cong. He is given only one minute to tell Green Beret the location of the Viet Cong or his father will be shot dead. This arouses a feeling of disbelief in me. The boy doesn’t tell the Green Beret anything so his father is murdered.
