In pages 76-152, of the autobiography "American Sniper", written by Chris Kyle, Chris tells the reader what he struggled through when he was finally deported of to the Middle East. Chris could not wait to finally get some action when he arrived in Iraq. Chris had to wait forever and a day before he was eventually deported. It was bittersweet for Chris as he arrived in Iraq, he had to patrol the borders but there was never any real action for him, just a lot of waiting around. Chris wasn't very pleased and wanted to get into the action, his wife on the other hand was extremely relieved. Ever since Chris decided to join the military, his wife Taya, has been worried sick and dreads every time he gets deported. It doesn't help when they just had a newborn son right after Chris got deported. Chris reminisces about he missed out on his sons early stages of life. He greatly regrets it especially since Chris's father was always there for him. With Chris deported and Taya at home with the newborn, it was a very stressful time in the Kyle household. Chris's wife Taya, talks about how she was afraid to answer any phone call while Chris was away as well as how she could not communicate any way to him unless Chris called her, which was not as often as it should have been. Taya and Chris started to fade from talking to each other because Taya was caught up with the baby and Chris was not allowed to communicate with them. This was very troubling to their marriage. Overall this section in my novel was a very stressful and anxious time in Chris's life.
This is a sniper patroling the borders of Iraq, something very similar to what Chris was doing while he was over seas.
