Brooke Preston Mr.Rease 19 March 2018 Reflection The Rockpile The story was not , necessarily about the Rockpile. It was about John , Roy , their father and their mother . John was obedient and smart while Roy was the headstrong child who got away with everything. Their father , Gabriel who was only biologically the father of Paul , Delilah, and Roy was hard on John. John sat in the window seal and watched Roy play on the rock pile . Even though John was older than Roy , he did not want to disappoint him. When Roy was carried back in due to his cut on his head , Gabriel was upset. He blamed John and the mother for Roy’s injury . Gabriel at one moment realized the blame could not be on anyone but Roy. Hi face softened from what it had been .The mother told John to pick up his father’s lunch box. I believe at that moment Gabriel believed John was just as much as his son as the rest of his children.

Dear Mr.Wiggins, I have just received this letter . I am so deeply saddened by the events taken place. I hope it’s not too late and my words of encouragement help . Well I’m gonna go ahead and explain what I think you should do , Mr.Grant. You should explain the worth of being who he is and how he would want his godmother to remember him. Remind him that people will call you things you are not . Remind him what he came in the world as and what he wants to leave as in this world . But most importantly remind him who he was before he did the things he did to lead to this . And if that does not work you are a teacher , teach him worth. Teach him that if you know nothing else know that you are here to have a purpose in life . Again Mr.Wiggins deeply sorry for the things you all are going through . Best wishes , Dr.Hanes

Brooke Preston Mr.Rease Eng 11 19 Nov 2017 Reflection My opinion about this book can’t be explained in words but I’ll try. Sorrow of war was was a great book. Every page hooked you to read more and more. The book gave you a bit of dramatic ,depressing details about moments in the war and then it would give you intense sexual moments that are not my personal favorite . The book was balanced out into sad ,exciting, and overall engaging details. I liked the fact that Kien had determination. He wrote about his experiences in the war even if they gave him flashbacks of horrible things. Sorrow of war wasn’t just about war it was about love and I believe that’s what made it interesting.

Brooke Preston Mr.Rease Eng 11 16 Nov 17 Review The Sorrow of war was written about love and war. The main character Kien was a strong , loving , sorrowful solider. Kien went through lots of losses throughout the readings . Kien’s love interest (lover) Phuong was a questionable character . Phượng was Kien’s high school sweet heart ! However , she showed signs of uncertainty in their relationship. The departures Phượng and Kien experienced were caused by the war . Phoung’s attitide post war with Kien caused me to dislike her. Phượng admitted to having feelings for Kien’s father. She also criticized him for not spending time with his father. Kien’s father was an artist , he was always drunk and painting yellow canvases. The war altogether was depressing and really scaring due to all the tales of the soldiers whispering to them. The book overall was very exciting but sad.

The quote expresses great hope of survival. My answer to question 3 was: The quote indicates an conflict because having hope may be good but striving to do what you believe in or hope for maybe an conflict if you are not doing the part. Quote #2:” A clan of muddle-headed people .” My answer to question 3 was: The conflict would be the parents arguing . My answer to question 2 was : This quote characteizes Kien. Kien’s parents arguentments caused them to separate .

-Friday Quote #2: “Blinking at me, the rain pouring down his face mixing water tears and blood. Outside the crater the jungle was destroyed , with trees broken and the ground devastated. Troops from both sides had withdrawn so I searched for a while and found a bag with emergency medical equipment in it, then time to go back to help him” My answer to question 1 was: The theme is survivor’s guilt and suffering . The quote explains how sad and depressed the solider was. My answer to question 4 was: The quote gives great setting . It talks about the jungle , rain, and the craters.
