Alas Babylon Report
The second book I decided to read this summer was Alas Babylon. Have you ever looked at a book and thought that it was not going to hold your attention very long? I thought the same about this book until I began to read it and it has turned out to have an interesting plot. The setting of this book takes place in the late 1950’s in a small town in Florida named Fort Repose, during the Cold and Korean War.
In addition the main characters of this book are Randy Bragg, Helen Bragg who is Randy’s sister in law, Dan Gunn who is Randy’s doctor and best friend, and there is also Randy’s wife Lib McGovern. Randy Bragg is a lawyer who is in his early thirty’s and prior to him becoming a lawyer he was a military officer. Helen Bragg is a military wife who is not so much as anti-social but is she has adapted to being by herself (alone). Dan Gunn is nothing more or less than a man who is a Doctor who works in Fort Repose.
Furthermore, Randy Bragg was a typical man who was a bachelor and had no cares, but he has had to buckle down and be a leader. His neighbor thought he was nothing more than a pervert, but he was looking at nature. Soon due to surprise attacks on Fort Repose he began renting out his house to his neighbors and family so they can have a place to sleep at night. There he met the beautiful Lib McGovern, prior to him falling for Miss McGovern he was dating Rita Hernandez but he has ended his relationship with her to be with Lib.
I believe this book was an eye opener for me. Randy and Lib has grown closer and closer through the traumatic experiences of this war. Randy Bragg the man thought to have been a pervert in the end ended up marrying Lib McGovern. Together they have been thought to live happily ever after. He and Dan Gunn remain to be best friends.
In summarization, this novel took place in a small town in Florida (Fort Repose). This war has opened eyes for many in this book. Randy Bragg has learned to be more considerate, and loving. Also Dan Gunn has

    The Things They Carried

    I have found that a good strategy to use when reading this book, is to remember that often times things are not what they seem. The book was filled with figurative language and representation the O ‘Brien uses to emphasizes and support his points. This strategy is used with both people and objects. In the book, there are characters that O ‘Brian tells us that he served with in the war, but in interviews told people that he fictionalized them to emphasize his point. An example of this would be Mark Fossie’s girlfriend Mary Ann Belle who visits the men in Vietnam. She is the classic example of the “American girl”. “ A tall, big-boned blonde. AT best, Rat said, she was seventeen years old, fresh out of Cleveland Heights Senior High School. She had long, white legs and blue eyes and complexion like strawberry ice cream. Very friendly, too.” She is a representation of what all them men left behind when the joined the war. The young, attractive, and vibrant…

Wes had the opportunity to escape the horrendous environment which he called his hometown. The fact that he moved away from Baltimore gave him the opportunity to get away from all the chaos. The Bronx wasn't much different from Baltimore but it wasn't as bad. “Years earlier, I had run through these same woods with all of my might, looking for safety, trying to get away from campus. Tonight, I ran through the same woods looking for safety, but in the other direction” (Moore 122). Apart from spending most of his time in Baltimore and New York, the author Wes Moore spend a good amount of time in Fort Payne. As time passed by, Wes’s view of safety changed.

    This novel is very different from the others that I have read. Tim O’Brien wrote this book to show how it was at Vietnam and what soldiers have to go thru. However he wrote this book under the genre of fiction because this way he could write things that were not true and still make it billable to the reader. Rather than him just saying things as they are. Perhaps if he told things as they really happen then the reader might not be interested of what was going on. Now the author wrote this book for two reasons.…

    Fields of Fire Book Review

    • 1260 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Fields of Fire by James Webb is a historical novel first published in 1978 that takes place in the year 1969 during the Vietnam War. Although there are many characters that are significant to the story, the novel focuses mainly on three marines who find themselves in a platoon with each other; Robert E. Lee Hodges, “Snake,” and Will “Senator” Goodrich. Webb gives the reader a great, detailed background of each of these characters through a combination of both direct and indirect characterization. As the novel progresses, major events that occur include battle and violence, loss and coping, and learning. The themes that naturally accompany these events, given the setting, are leadership, a loss of purpose, and the effects of war on people. Being a veteran of the Vietnam War himself, Webb wrote this novel to demonstrate the real gruesomeness of war, in addition to showing that many soldiers involved did not even have a true reason for fighting.…
