I think that the theme "war changes people" can relate to anybody. Whether they are a soldier, a family member of a soldier, or just a bystander.. war changes everybody.Sydney Piechahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020427194609501668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724341463416553399.post-31133647698379197692012-01-31T18:52:13.656-08:002012-01-31T18:52:13.656-08:00I think truth doesn't fill in the emotional bl...I think truth doesn't fill in the emotional blanks in a war story. People exaggerate in emotional stories often to get their point across and to fill in moments forgotten or missed at the moment of happening.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286424784269479127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724341463416553399.post-20940378277498259012012-01-30T10:32:19.508-08:002012-01-30T10:32:19.508-08:00This was my favorite chapter as well.

I like how he uses different stories to make his point and makes you think and question what you are reading.Kelsey Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984267008657783217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724341463416553399.post-11676592063600159062012-01-30T10:29:21.860-08:002012-01-30T10:29:21.860-08:00I also liked this chapter.

I agree that it makes you realize that you just don't know if war stories are true. I guess you have to be there to really know what happened.Liz Falatachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354735331750454853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724341463416553399.post-42029929842199102392012-01-30T10:29:14.895-08:002012-01-30T10:29:14.895-08:00I agree, The chapter also shows that pretty much, ...I agree, The chapter also shows that pretty much, just about anyone can go into the war. I like how fast Mary Anne went from being miss high school cheerleader to miss I wanna kill people. It was such a quick change.Ian Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642073965771796988noreply@blogger.com
