    My name is Alex Harvie. I thought my life was great, and it was. Living as an English professor in the lively cobblestone houses of Southampton was a dream for many people, but it would soon become the most far-fetched idea my mind could possibly conjure. By soon, I mean right now. My lifestyle became a fleeting luxury the moment I received a telegram that I would be drafted to the infantry to fight against Hitler and his indescribably unethical and cruel war organization. The Nazis, my mind raced as I thought, the bloody Nazis. Of course, if I hadn’t just been drafted, I wouldn’t have to worry about those belligerent fools, but I had been drafted. I had been born again as an Allied soldier by the words on a piece of paper.…

    There are three main characters that are affected by innocence or ignorance. Leper was affected by innocence. Leper was an innocent student who was the very first student to sign up for the war, and the only reason he had done this is because he saw that soldiers were skiing. He loved to ski and it interested him. He had no idea what he was signing up for when he did. Leper had the innocence of a child. Even when he spoke he had a child’s way of putting his words. On page 93 the book explains how Leper never used to hear announcements due to him sketching in his notebook. The following page of the book explains Leper’s mild tentative voice and Leper himself explains how he was scared to go down the steep hills for skiing because he said you can break a leg on steep hills. It is true but the ages of the students at Devon are like 18 and that is an age where people their age are reckless. Leper is also interested in animals. He was searching for a beaver dam while the other boys were helping to shovel out railroad tracks. It also mentions him sketching birds in his notebook. One day while watching a video about the war, the boys saw some troops skiing. Leper had seen this and he became excited. He wanted to enlist, and he did. Leper was previewed as an innocent…

    But Lieutenant Caputo didn’t really understand the concept till after their first encounter with the enemy. Caputo now had a new perceptive on his men. Sergeant Loker gave insight about Hanson, a rifleman in the 1st platoon by informing him of the nature of war, “I caught the little sonuvabitch cutting the ears off one of those dead VC. He had a K-bar and was trying to slice ears off” (Caputo, 125). Caputo later realizes the truth that he really doesn’t know these men, “I now realized that some of them were not so decent and good. Many had petty jealousies, hatreds, and prejudices. Sergeant Colby tried to help Caputo understand why such incidents happen. He said, “When I was in Korea, I saw men sight their rifles in by shooting at Korean farmers. Before you leave here, sir, you’re going to learn that one of the most brutal things in the world is your average nineteen-year-old American boy” (Caputo, 137). Even though the Lieutenant refused to accept the fact that the men he had shared everything with were capable of these actions it still stuck with…

    In his address to Congress, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) speaks urgently and fluently about our need to act, or more specifically, our need to declare war on Japan. Roosevelt begins by complementing his audience and speaking very straight forward about what had happened. Utilizing some effective connotations, Roosevelt states, “the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” Notice, “suddenly”, “deliberately” and “Empire didn’t necessarily need to be in that statement. These uses of connotation can also be seen as a means of expressing pathos, as to set the audience up and appeal to their emotions.…

    First of all, we see that Alex is in the innocence stage because he is naive, inexperience and pure-hearted. At the beginning of the story, Alex naively thinks that wars are like games and that everything is about control. But unfortunately, wars and battles are not a simple thing as Alex thinks they are. There are serious consequences behind the war that Alex has not notice about, for example, he does not know that many people will die in the war. As Alex likes the military stuff and history, Alex reveals, “it isn’t the killing and ghoulish stuff that interests me. It’s the battle plans and the strategy and the weapons. It’s like chess or curling or bridge — those are all games I really” (Bell 17). This quotation shows that Alex naively thinks about wars and battle plans are like games like chess or curling or bridge. Wars and battle plans are completely different thing from chess games because the consequences behind war and chess game are entirely different. Losing a chess game is not a big deal, it won’t…

    The phrase "Innocence must be killed to give birth to experience" says a lot about this time in the novel. Though the teachers had given the students more freedom during the summer and allowed several rule-breakings to take place, they understand that in order for the students to be ready and prepared for the coming conflicts in the army they must stop acting like children and sacrifice their state of immaturity to gain knowledge as adults. They understand that children cannot survive in wars, but men…

    I didn’t have to, but I did. It was an order, what other choice did I have? I was merely a low level officer; the power was in Hiroto’s hands. She broke the camp rules, outside dealings, but did she? It was medicine to save innocent women, innocent women who have been caught up in a war for power, which has resulted in the women becoming the powerless, and me the powerful. Each day I have to dig deep, keep on digging I tell myself, for reasons to be here; pride, family honour, dignity for my people, remember what father said; Japanese are the ones who made the Europeans rich, yet for hundreds of years the Europeans looked down upon us, now it’s Japan’s turn, still, my moral conscience has clouded my mind to the atrocities that I have seen, a short time ago I was a teacher of a class with half Japanese and half European, and they couldn’t see any differences, they looked to the inside, why can’t these officers look to the inside, morality in children is a quality that is needed now, yet I see the children in the camp being bashed by that brute Tomiashi, I want to help, but Japan is now powerful, Japan must prevail. I passed the fuel to Tanaka, my hand trembling, I wanted to latch onto the bottle, throw it away, throw all this away, is this how far we have come, is the power really worth this? Ablaze, my eyes cloud while I have to control myself not to react, I must be strong in front of these European women, the powerful are not weak, they have oppressed me, although I cannot see it, them crying is the first instance of any reminisce of human emotion since I left my teaching job in the village, I didn’t want to leave the students, but the European students had fled with their families and we had instilled in our minds that the powerful nation would prevail, but is power worth this? I feel the confusion and anguish drop over me like a sheet of cold rain that chills you to your spine, this is wrong, this is wrong, but it’s for the great…
