Untouchable in Iraq,
Ex-Sniper Dies in a Shooting Back Home
Authors Manny Fernandez and
Michael Schwirtz introduce the article with a description of Chris Kyle and his
role as “one of America’s deadliest military snipers”. They first employ logos
and give information about the shooting at the range. After sharing the story,
Fernandez and Schwirtz go in depth about the sniper as they introduce the
foundation that he created, Fitco Cares Foundation, and a best selling
autobiography, American
Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History. The authors take quotations from his novel giving
Kyle his own sense of power and self in their article. They use pathos and
Kyle’s quotations to illustrate the concerned and passionate American that
served our country. The authors return to the story and through the use of
logos deliver more details about the murder of Kyle and his friend Chad
Littlefield. The authors return back to pathos towards the end of the article
and illustrate all that Kyle has done for veterans and Americans. The closing
lines highlight the fact that he was selfless and that he truly wanted to help
other veterans, leaving readers with the final impression of a true American
hero.
