The sniper - A Sequel
Rationale
We have watched the film In the Name of the Father directed by Jim Sheridan and read the short story The Sniper by Liam O’Flaherty and we have decided to write a series of letters from the IRA sniper to his mother where he reveals that he has been his brother’s murderer. This piece of writing finishes with a short sequel to the story where we learn what happens to the sniper in the end.
3rd of August, 1940
Dear Mum,
I know we haven’t seen each other for a long time but this war is taking most of my time… my life. I have been away from home for so long that I lost track of time. It has been two … three years. I will understand if you are furious, depressed, disappointed. You have the right to feel like that and I am sorry. Don´t worry about me, I found a safe place
