Week 5 Post B

For this last post I thought I would talk about the book in general and what I thought about it. When I first started to red it, it seemed generic in the sense that the book is about a soldier and he is going into combat. But once I started reading more and more it became a lot more than just that. As I've talked about before in other posts because Burgett wrote this right after it happened to him the events are clear and precise. Not only that but also you can feel the emotion in the book compared to if he had written it now which would probably have meant the he might have lefts some things out on accident and there wouldn't have been as much emotion.

Also for the plot it's self, I thought it was interesting and not just because these are real events but also because you can really see the transformation throughout the book. What I mean by this is at the beginning there is this huge underdog feeling and by the end you have a real sense of accomplishment or comeback. Also going back to the plot, you truly feel like your in those situations with him and I think that because he wrote it right after the events happened it really helped the book. So in conclusion I thought it was an excellent read and if you like war or even history books then you should definitely check this one out.
