Overall...the book was alot better then I thought it would be. For me, I learned exactly what I had hoped for. Before reading the book and learning about the war in class, i only knew that this war had changed lifes. I had no clue if it was for the better or for the worse,...obvoiusly it was for the worst. Who knew that the soldiers could possibly endure so much pain and suffering, both mentally and physically. Day in and day out, the fought in the trenches, hung around with dead bodies.. first off, that smell must be unbearable. Secondly, if i were alone with a dead body all day, i'd cry. Its just so scary with death, knowing that the man you just talked to that morning lays cold and silent beside you..eating durt and gunpowder. It breaks my heart knowing so many lives were ruined due to the selfish needs of the country rulers back then. Never should anyone have to deal with the pain of losing their identity, their freeddom, or their best friends.

I found this link to a video i found very interesting.. if you watch it, you'll see they make the war seem dissillusioned. " Make your daddy glad.." The lyrics of the song support fighting in the war and making America proud. They should be ashamed..
