Through The Scope of Her Rifle She Can See Three Soliders


Today I read chapter two and I was very intrigued by a character named Arrow. Arrow’s character could play a major theme or issue in the novel. It seems as if her character has a reverse gender role, and I think this because she is a sixteen year old girl back fifty years ago and she is a well trained sniper, almost like she was thought professionally.  In stories like these you would usually see a male sixteen year old sniper but in the case of Arrow it is completely different. To your recollection can you think of any other characters in books that would be a teenaged military trained sniper but over fifty years ago? I could not think of anyone to relate her to. After reading today I am very curious to see if my prediction for Arrows reverse gender role is correct.

  1. Arrow is an incredible character. I love the information we are given about her name, and the reason she has the name Arrow now.
    You still need to do some research to get your background of the novel straight - I would suggest before you read any further.
