After pondering this declaration, Inman concludes that “he cannot abide by a universe composed of only that he could see, especially when it was so frequently foul. So he held to the idea of a better place, and he figured he might as well consider Cold Mountain to be the location of it as anywhere” (23). Swimmer lays the spiritual foundation Inman builds upon later in life. The day before he leaves for the war, Inman repeats this tale to his love, Ada. To him, Ada embodies all the peaceful and heavenly attributes of Cold Mountain, therefore, when the horrors of war prove too much for Inman to handle, he crawls his way back to Ada in hopes of spiritual redemption.

In war, you must always think before you do something that you will regret later on in life. By revealing each story’s conflicts and characters motivations authors Hwang Sunwon form the “Cranes” and Liam O’ Flahery from the “Sniper” both reveal theme that you should think before you act. Both “Crane” and “Sniper” have situations going on, For example in the “Cranes”, Songsam had to reunite with his child playmate friend or if he is going to complete his job assignment. In the “Sniper”, the Sniper had to know whether he going to kill the enemy sniper or if he is just going to watch what the armored car is doing.

The issue that should matter to everyone is how they’re managed. What that will look like is yet to be seen; whether it will be managed by the hunting community, state agencies, or natural processes will be the next major hurdle in the reintroduction of the wolf. One thing I do know is that the plan needs to protect the tax payer from footing the bill for individual’s interest. By instituting a few measures immediately we can take liability off the general public and let the special interest group’s work out the details with WDFW. These measures should include: Wolves caught in the act of predation of domestics should have consequences strong enough to stop the behavior, owners should also have consequences if they don’t make every effort to use non-lethal methods to deter wolves from preying on their animals, and any act of predation on public lands should be at the liability of the user not the
