      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.

     Hello My name is Brooke Preston . I am sixteen years old and I am in the 11th grade . I won't go on too much on what I like to do.

I was kind of scared I would not excel in my math class but my teacher reassured me that if I am foucused and hardworking I would not have a problem. My next class after math was  Human Anatomy. This science class in particular didn't bother me as much because my brothers had taken it and encouraged me to write alotta of notes down to help throughout the class. After Human Anatomy was JROTC . I do not have much interest in that class at all. And lastly , my 4th block class English AP . This is my favorite class because I love to write fiction stories , mostly informal . I have a great teacher that is a tad bit strict but really nice . In just two weeks I lea

  -Saturday Quote #1:”You will be young angels of our revolution, You will rescue mankind.” Pg.118 My answer to question 1 was: The theme of this quote is hope. 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 .
