AMERICAN SNIPER by Chris Kyle

In the book " American Sniper" the main character Chris tells of his story as a Navy S.E.A.L. Chris talks about his passion for guns and that was what drove him to become a S.E.A.L. And in the process of becoming a S.E.A.L he is learning things about himself that very few people ever do. 
    Chris begins to learn that his passion to be a S.E.A.L goes a lot further than a passion for guns, he finds he has a passion for his country, which wasn't the original reason he joined the S.E.A.L teams. Chris also learns that he is not as stealthy off the battlefield as he is when he is on the battlefield because when he met his now wife she suspected he was in the military, and after enough questioning finally admitted he is a S.E.A.L. 
   Chris also found out that he is not just a rough Texas ranch hand and cowboy but that he has a sensitive side. And he starts to explore his love life and meets who later became his wife Tanya. And she exposes to him that he is not just a rugged, emotionless man because he is a S.E.A.L.
    After Chris completes his training and qualifies to be deployed he is going to have to learn to keep balance between being a killing machine. This allows Chris to value both aspects of his personality.
  All in all Chris improved not just as a S.E.A.L but as a person and he also got a better understanding of who he is as a person.

  1. Great Job! One thing that really stood out to me in this post was your organization how each paragraph was about a new thing that Chris discovers about himself. The way the paragraphs were arranged was like a sequence of events. It was like you were summarizing Chris's life, which made the post more interesting to read. I thought your language was really clear and told the reader what the paragraph was going to be about, without adding fluff.
