Viet Cong, communist soldiers hiding in South Vietnam set explosives in buildings, cars and military bases to harass the Americans and their South Vietnamese allies. These terroristic acts on the South killed soldiers and civilians all the same. The guerilla warfare did not stop on the streets. Booby traps in the jungle and falling down holes with pungi sticks impaling young soldiers were the fears of patrols, not actual gunfire contact. Soon, America knew that conventional warfare tactics with the communist guerilla fighters would not work.
I could hear guns from both sides rapidly being fired off. The sounds of machine guns and bombs blowing up amplified in the shell-hole. The ground beneath me trembled with each explosion, triggering gravel to shower over me. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed someone jumping into the shell-hole; I thought it was someone from my group so I didn’t think anything of it. They lunged towards me and landed on top of me, knocking my gun out of my hand.
Black Hawk Down Black Hawk down started off with a Somalian man leading the U.S. marines to Aidad’s political advisor. When the word “Irene” was given, the marines moved out. The “skinny’s” burned rubber tires to signal to the rest of the militia to warn of the incoming U.S. troops. The Marines had successfully captured the target and were headed back to base when, a Black Hawk (helicopter) was hit in the tail wing with a RPG. When the Black Hawk went down the objective of the marines was not only to get the target back to base, but also save the men in the crashed Black Hawk.

Later, when Ishmael is recruited to the army, he has the same feeling towards guns. “He gave me the gun. I held it in my trembling hand.
And putting a bullet through his head” (Collins 62). Unintentionally, Katniss has reinforced the rebellion causing the entire district to go into madness. This is just one example of the rebellion being one of the main themes in this book. Another instance that shows how revolt is a primary theme is when Katniss meets two travelers from District 8, Twill and Bonnie. These two travelers are making their way to District 13, which is believed to have been destroyed seventy-five years ago.
I had to arch the hose to make the stream land on the flame, due to the fact that the hose was not long enough to get too close. I continued to spray the dumpster using every way I have seen firefighters do on TV. Luckly the Cuddhy fire station number 2 was just a few blocks away, so the firefighters arrived on the scene fast. I watched in amazement and awe as they knocked down the fire

“You never know who your enemy is.” I found this statement to be a reoccurring theme in “The Sniper” while reading. I believe this is a perfect theme because the sniper had no idea who was on the other side and would not have known if he didn’t look at the dead body. The main character in this selection was not officially named but was referred to as the sniper. In the selection the sniper had both an internal and external conflict. The external conflict was that he was fighting in the middle of the war and the only way to survive was to kill all the opponents.
Rainsford froze as he realizes there was no time to doge the shot of the general. He closed his eyes and waited, he wondered what it feels like with a bullet digging inside his body until he is finished to the last moment. A few seconds later, Rainsford opened his eyes and noticed the General throwing out his pistol to the ground below. “Consider yourself lucky,” said the General. “I forgot to load the pistol.” “Attending in a battle without any weapons is just like a hunter who does not know how to hunt,” Rainsford said.
