About tone and mood, find the story based around a lone sniper, a very young soldier struggling to survive in the Civil War in Ireland. Look now at the opening paragraph and remember the use of the words "dark" and "night" as well as words like "faded," "dim," "quiet" and "barking" guns. The scene is darkened, eerie, and quiet; the silence is only broken by gunshots. The mood in expecting violence is grim, foreboding and often packed with tension.
