Plot Summary Of The Book 'American Sniper'

Title: American Sniper Author: Chris Kyle Pages: 379

1. Characters: Chris Kyle, soldier, father and loving husband. Taya: wife of Chris Kyle, and loving mother of 2 children. The SEALS, an organization, and home of thousands of SEAL soldiers.

2. Background: Chris Kyle joined the SEALS over-watch, (sniper.) He was also a very good friend, neighbor, and father. He was raised a cowboy, and always will be. He worked on the ranch almost every day of his wonderful life. Chris wasn’t going to go back to war many times of his short life. He was the best sniper in US history. He had plenty of fans and supporters.

3. Motivation: He wanted

to be a cowboy, but suddenly he got interested in sniping and war. All he wanted to do was helping his country and become a strong American, and he made it. Chris Kyle was a great fighter and he wanted to become stronger, and help his family.

4. Setting: This was back in the early 2000s, in Iraq, and Afghanistan. It also took place back at his own house, a small ranch house in Texas. His wife, kids, and animals all lived in the house with him.
5. Conflict: He ran into a lot of good snipers and he actually almost died during war, but he ducked down fast enough to dodge the bullet. His family was all the way in America while he was across seas and he would never know if someone walked into his house and killed them all, or blew up the house. He was always worried for his family and neighbors, but I believe they were a lot more scared for him then of themselves. A veteran he was trying to help later killed Chris Kyle by a blow to the head. No one expected this to happen to Chris, whom was one of the sweetest people you could meet. RIP Chris Kyle, for he has done the best to protect our country.

Plot: Chris ran into a house and there were 2 men chained to a wall, one was dead and the other man needed help getting down as he was loosing blood. While trying to help him, the man died while being taken down and there was no point to help him anymore so they left him on the floor. They kept going through houses of people who were suppose to flee town but they ended up just staying in their houses camping out. They went to a family home to eat, they cooked for the soldiers but Chris could tell the family was onto something… He walked around the house and found guns and bombs that were loaded and ready to be fired. Chris then took the family out of the house and God knows what they had to do with the family. Chris returned home to his family and his wife threatened to leave if he wouldn’t stay home, but he left anyway and when he returned they were still there. They also created their own symbol that they pretty much spray painted to everything, it was a skull head and they also had a badge that said RIP Marc Lee, as he died fighting for us too. Marc Lee got shot during war.

7. Resolution: Thankfully, Chris didn’t die in war but he did die. I think that his family was proud and loyal to him and he did not deserve to die. Him and his friend were both killed at a shooting range by another

veteran.

8. Connections: My 2 cousins were in the military and whenever I read books like this on it makes me sad and makes me want to see them. Tanner and Sawyer Henry are their names, and I’m proud to be in their family. I also thank every soldier that comes to my school or house for protecting US.
