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.

Blog Assignment

    Conducting yourself in a learning environment is essential. Ones behavior plays an important role in the class because that student is not the only student in the class. Class is a disturbance free zone and students should be able to come to class and leave with something new everyday. Teachers are not there to be babysitters, but to be mentors. Students should be mature enough to conduct themselves in a orderly fashion. Some students may find this task hard and somewhat impossible. A class full of people we know and you expect us not to communicate. The answer is yes. If you can conduct yourself in orderly fashion along with your peers is a job well done.     When one student disrupts the class it creates a domino effect.
