Not the form of growing up that most young men these days go through, but the growing up a man does when he watches friends die. The growing up that is necessary to stay alive during war. Howard Fast’s quote at the beginning of chapter seven states, “And you’ve lost your youth and come to manhood, all in a few hours....Oh, that’s painful. That is indeed” (111). These words best describes the point I’m making about the theme of this book.
The end of the book is somewhat satisfying as Chris is starting to cope with his PTSD and help others who are dealing with it as well. However, after this book was written, as it was an autobiography, Chris was murdered by someone he was trying to help that has PTSD. I would recommend this book to anyone that is curious what war is like and what goes through a soldier's mind as they go through the experience, and how it stays with you for the rest of your life. Lastly, A book that we covered this semester that, in my opinion, relates very well to this novel is Schindler's List. It relates to American Sniper because Schindler is going through some of the same concepts and ideas that Chris is having/going through.

Life Uncensored Chris Crutcher has always told it like it is. Getting his books in trouble with the may censors. But although many of his books have been censored by adults, his “true” audience, the kids who read his books praise him for his real life stories that they can relate to. Crutcher’s family was on the way to the northeast where a job had opened up for his father (who was a pilot) but on the way they made a stop in his mothers home town, Cascade Idaho. Where John Jr. (Chris’ older brother) had been staying with his grandparents.
The plot in which Ellison chose to compose his short story, mainly taking the form of flashbacks, was to show the reader how the narrator was slowly beginning to understand that his speech about humility led him to be somewhat “free” in the end, but with the consequences of having to go through negative experiences just to be “free.” Moreover, the protagonist grandfather whom was giving advice to the young man’s father proved to be true because the young man faced a lot of mistreatment and humiliation in the hands of the white men, and understanding what the grandfather mentioned about practicing false humility finally made sense to him, but it took him twenty years after his experience to understand that. Also, the setting in which “Battle Royal” took place shows why Ellison’s narrator believed that humility had to be the key to freedom, merely because during that time segregation and racial discrimination was going on and black Americans were protesting for their independence, equality and rights, as well as erecting movements that would lead into the Civil

There is nothing he can do about it until Monday, leaving him the whole weekend to contemplate his possibilities. This situation makes his reminisce about his own fathers passing of cancer harder because all he remembers is how much pain he suffered and the guilt that he wasn’t there while he was dying. When he mentions this to his mother her reaction is the most important quote in the film, “It doesn’t matter how he died, your father’s death was not the sum of his life, it doesn’t matter how life ends it matters how it was.” Nick’s life had been carefree, his work as a photographer had enabled him to travel around the world with no responsibilities. This changed when he had come back home to help out his mother and as he mentions, “I hung round cose I was a bit worried about mum, I even brought a place as an investment for the future. I thought I would live in it for awhile before I go back overseas.” This quote lets us know that in truth Nick is really looking for someone to share his life with and offer his him support whilst dealing with his cancer.
