    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.…

    I certainly enjoyed this autobiography. After reading this book about the author, Philip Caputo, as a young man enlisted and trained so hard to become an American Marine Lieutenant in the Vietnam War, it gave me a whole different perspective of the war. My views of the Vietnam War are usually from the stories my family used to tell me when I was little, but I have never heard it from the viewpoint of a lieutenant. I already knew that when there is a war declared, the war is always attractive to young men who know nothing about it, and even though the men know nothing about the war, the men drafted in the war are…

    This story is about a nineteen year old soldier named Paul Baumer followed by his friends while at war and it shows how it effects each and every one of them physically and mentally.“We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.”(Remarque 13) World War I was a tragic war with more than 9 million soldiers dead, and roughly 21 million were injured in the end. Germany and France both sent millions of men between the ages 15-50 into the war. Throughout the book and the movie you can see and understand all of the tragic deaths that occurred on both sides of this war. Not only were there millions of deaths by the fighting but also many deaths by other things such as, soldier dying from lack of food, lack of reinforcements, rats running through the trenches, and lastly deadly gases in the air. Any soldier that actually did survive was considered “lucky” to Paul Baumer. “We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life.…

    When I was looking for a book to read, this was one of the last ones on my list. I wanted to read about World War II – a war that seemed more interesting. However, this book and I crossed paths when all the books I wanted to read were out of stock at the bookstore. I thought I’d take a chance, and I’m glad I did. I fell into a book-induced stupor when I began reading it. After awhile I realized an hour and half had gone by and I was halfway through the book. I was engrossed by the…

    What really caught my eye with this novel and pulled me to becoming interested with it was the culture. When you read this novel, you notice how some of the things that happen in Afghanistan don’t happen in the United States. It really makes the plot of the story unique. If you did not have the culture in this book, some of the occurrences would not have occurred. Mariam and Laila wouldn’t have been treated in such torment if the story did not take place in Afghanistan because of the society it has with the Taliban. Also, if you’re like me, you’re interested with how other citizens throughout the world live, whether it be the religion, or the language. The novel has many religious and language references. Many of the names aren’t familiar to…

    I hold a soft place in my heart for biographies, due to the fact that the truth is often more interesting that the human mind can make up. Telling the story of a man's life is beyond difficult. Telling the story of an olympian and a prisoner of war during world war two, and doing it well, to me that seems near impossible. Part of how fascinating this book is must be attributed Loiue Zamperini himself and his tremendous life, but you fail to give yourself enough credit for making sure the reader feels all the emotions that Mr. Zamperini feels, you do that through your meticulous research. During reading about the brutality that the POWs faced your heart sinks. You are inspired by the fact that the POW’s try to maintain dignity through regular acts of disobedience. As…

    Many of those things surprised the people then and still does. We say that a regime like the Nazi could happen again, but is has happen again. It hasn’t happened as a big extent like the Nazi, but has still happened. The book is seriously good because is based on a true story from real life. Because it based on a true story, it is an eye opener from me. It does not give me the same feeling if I read a book where the story is made. Many of those things can I relate to my on life. I know many that they would like to live there live, as a member of a group like The Wave. They want to have the feeling about to be a part of something, so they feel safe. The team in the book I relate to it very clearly. I have tried to play on a handball team were the discipline has very low and very high. The difference can I feel very clearly. I prefer to play on a team with high discipline and hard rules, then a team with low discipline and unserious about the sport. In that time I will prefer to live like a member on a group like The Wave. Because it does so we perform much better like a team. The book had done so I have think about all…
