you can.
Sure, here is my attempt to provide answers based on the information I have access to:

1. The author's purpose in depicting the sniper as a sympathetic character despite his role as a killer
is to show how war can change people's moral compass and make them capable of committing
atrocities.
2. The author uses imagery and symbolism to convey the theme of dehumanization of war by
describing the sniper's enemy as "rats" and "animals" and by describing the sniper's own actions
as "mechanical" and "automatic."
3. The author uses the sniper's internal conflict to demonstrate the psychological toll of war by
showing how the sniper is struggling with guilt and remorse for his actions.
4. The author uses the sniper's relationship with his brother to highlight the blurred lines between
enemy and ally in war by showing how the sniper mistakenly kills his own brother.
5. The author uses the sniper's changing perception of the enemy to convey the idea that war can
change people's moral compass by showing how the sniper initially sees his enemy as "rats" but
later realizes they are human beings.
6. The author uses the sniper's ultimate realization of the enemy's humanity to convey the message
that war should be avoided because it causes people to kill other human beings.
7. The author uses the sniper's guilt and remorse to convey the idea that war is not a heroic or
glorious endeavor by showing how the sniper is haunted by his actions.

make people capable of committing atrocities by showing how the sniper is horrified by his own
actions.

idea that war is futile because it pits people who are not fundamentally different against each
other.
10. The author uses the sniper's tragic end to convey the idea that war leaves no winners, only
victims, by showing how the sniper is killed by another sniper.
