Sorrow of War Blog Assignment

*Reflection

    The Sorrow of War, showed me that war dose not only affects you physically, mentally, and emotionally, but also affects your love ones. Kein lost everything because of this war. Stress can break you down and show you no sympathy to you or your life. When fighting in a war, your life is no longer yours, your life belongs to the war. Movies do not show the full effect of war. They show the action, the blood being spilled effortless, and soldiers' bodies falling left and right. War is fought mentally and physically and after the war is fought you are still fighting a war. You are fight fighting a emotional and mental war within yourself. 

 Review

   The Sorrow of War, a novel about a Vietnamese soldier fighting against himself, his job, and his love ones. The Vietnam war effected him forever and the war was over but his war with himself will never be over. This novel is not only about war, but about the full affect of war. People still know little about this long tragic war, but this novel will open your eyes that not all people are evil and you never know what is on people minds. After reading this novel, you will never look at Vietnamese war veterans the same. Bao Ninh wrote this novel with a passion and to tell a story  and to show that war has more to it then you think. This tragic war did not only dismantle this soldiers, but dismantled Vietnam as a whole.

Color Purple/Day2

After today’s reading I have realized that some people are horrible people. Fonso treated Celie as if she was an animal and not a human, as if she was not his his first born daughter. It also showed the trials and tribulations that one experience back then and how women had no voice. It also taught me that some people will risk themselves for the sake of others. Day 2: Today started off horrible, I woke up with a migraine for the 4th day in a row. I wasn’t going to go to school today but I had to, can’t be missing Mr. Rease class because I can’t fall behind, too late in the year to slip. I really missed ty, I didn’t see her all day and I didn’t get sleepy in Mr. Rease class today.  I’ need to get my act together before college.

Color Purple/Day 1

After reading letters 1-7 I have realized the evil within humanity. Celie was humiliated and sexually assault by her father, a man who is supposed to be a protector and provider took her innocence. Celie lost her mother and doesn’t have a father. This touched me as a reader because rape is a serious act and women all across the world have experience rape and do not say anything because of fear. Day 1: Today was quite interesting. Mr. Rease came back and class was quite interesting and I am really feeling this book! But I am excited to see where this book will take me. Titeana on my mind all day and she make me happy and she needs to be in class more.

Introduction

    Hello, my name is William Blake.  I am a junior and I attend Ben.C.Rain High School. I have many hobbies/extracurricular activities I enjoy. My favorite hobby has to be JROTC. JROTC has taught me many things that I can use in life and has offered me many opportunities. I am also apart of Ben C. Rain's football team. My coaches have taught me a lot throughout the season and I use what they have taught me and I apply it to my everyday life. My last hobby is being a member of the band. The band is excting, but it is not all about the music, it also teaches discipline and how important teamwork is. My favorite subject is History.  I like playing video games, working out, and hanging out with friends.  My expectations for this year is to: increase my GPA per semester, keep my grades at a A average, and to score a 30 on my ACT. I am excited to see what is the outcome of this school year!
