Then brain found a rifle in the plane wreckage. “It was a strange feeling, holding the rifle. It somehow removed him from everything around him. Without the rifle he had to fit in, to be part of it all, to understand it and use it—the woods, all of it. With the rifle, suddenly, he didn't have to know; did not have to get close to a fool bird to kill it—didn't have to know how it would stand if he didn't look at it and moved off to the side” (186 ).

If and when I get out of here alive, you better hope I don’t find you,” I shouted.
The cover used for the ditch was solid to the touch, but would not be able to bear the weight of a full grown man. The general fell down the ditch, and that was when Rainsford pounced out of his hiding place. Viciously attacking the general, and the man taken by surprise, he wrenched the small pistol free of the general’s grasp and pointed it at Zaroff, determined not to let the general pull any surprises on
Also there wouldn’t have been a good way of escaping because the men were everywhere and at the time George and lennie were in the brush the men weren’t far from there so there was no way they would have been able to escape the men. George once explained lennie’s disabilities to slim. Before George shot lennie at the back of his head in a merciful killing kind of way he felt very bad and awful like it was said in the book ‘His voice was monotonous, had no emphasis.’ And before he shot lennie it took him quiet some time before he could actually
There were one sniper in the Sphinx and two in the Luxor roof. Nobody will escape from that situation. One of the thieves had the hostage by his neck pointing him with a gun and the other one started to fire with his rifle.

O’Brien saw a young soldier wearing an ammunition belt coming out of the fog. The only reality O’Brien could feel was the sour nervousness in his stomach, and without thinking, he pulled the key in the grenade before he realized what he was doing. When the grenade bounced, the young man dropped his weapon and began to run. He then hesitated and tried to cover his head only then did O’Brien realize that the man was about to die.

He wanted to kill me, I wanted to run but I knew that I couldn’t. I was praying to god saying that I pray that he doesn’t kill me in this creek. They were told ready there weapons, this was the first time that I was so nervous that I could have just fallen to my knees and start crying. Couple of seconds later they were told to fire, I was shot right in the stomach, blood just gushing out of me I didn’t feel any pain but I knew that I was going to die. When I looked back at the guy he had a little smirk in his face, I wasn’t about to go down like this.
Peters and I stayed behind. Mrs. Perters asked me in Mrs. Wright did it and to be honest… I wasn’t sure. She also told me that Mr. Peters says that it doesn’t look too goo for Mrs. Wright’ that Mr. Henderson is awfully sarcastic in his speech and that he will make fun of her for saying she didn’t wake up for the incident.
