The speaker of Robert Frost's poem, "After Apple-Picking " refers to a mysterious, abstract quality of "strangeness" that he initially picked up by peering through a pane of glass. The poem depicts the moment at which, while he is falling asleep, he realizes that the "strangeness" he picked up earlier in the day is still with him. In this passage, "strangeness" is at once the remembere.
The theme of "The Sniper" is that war dehumanizes the enemy. In the story, the Republican sniper is under attack from an enemy sniper. He kills an enemy soldier and a woman who informs on him. The sniper shows no emotion over either of these deaths.
