The experience that someone else had that I know that was like the experiences of a character in the book is my aunt. She told me that her experience was in 1971. When two countries were having a war. For example India and Pakistan had a war because they have a border between them and also Pakistan wants Kashmir. But Hindus does not want to give Kashmir. People were very scared of the war and also my aunt. The war has happened because of political issues my aunt told me it was so scary that how they were killing people by attacking bombs. The government gives times that you can go buy groceries etc for your home in afternoon. However, rest of the day there is a curfew that means nobody can go outside and if they did they are going to attack people. An additional example is that she experience is the blackout. They cannot even turn their light on because of the enemy airplanes are going to throw the bomb to people houses. But some people went to their basements and they have light the candles and they did their work.
A character in the book changed in so many ways. She started to thinking about her life is that she is getting older but not that older for her brother and family. She does care about her studies and her teenage life. When she heard that in the radio all schools are closed she got so much happy because she had a math test that she didn’t study for. As I was reading the chapters she has changed a lot than before because of the German. When Lisa wanted to do some shopping with her friend Susanne .Her father told Stefan to go with her because they have heard on the TV about German soldiers all around. When they turned down to street Ourogade. She saw Germans trucks and they have guns in their hands. Lisa started feeling...

...parents screamed that don’t pull the curtains down because of the blackout. And the other day when they were coming they think that they are on the wrong apartment because they can hear baby screaming in the apartment when they went to the apartment the baby was there. Lisa asked her dad whose baby is that and her father answered her that the baby’s parents have died in the hospital. Her named is Sarah. Lisa was crying because of the baby. But her parents told her that we are going to find her home. Susanne parents have been died and Susanne hair is burned because of the fire. This section makes me feel cry and sad. The Germans killed the people because they wanted the Jews to put in concentration camps. Therefore, they blow up the kerosene factory because they killed so many people now they are going to deserve what they did to Jews. That makes feel Susanne so happy.
identity, morals and be somewhat depressed. “War changes everything in a soldier's mind.” This is noticeable in the songs Hero of war by Rise Against, 21 Guns by Green Day. It is also noticeable in the films Rambo by Ted Kotcheff and Fury by David Ayer. With the theme “War changes everything in a soldier's mind” I am going to emphasize the false ideals the public in the texts were told and why war changes everything through the negative effect of war on soldiers and retired veterans.

‘Tomorrow When The War Began’ is change. The theme of change is used on the protagonists, Homer’s, behaviour, the title of this novel, and through the use of a language feature, illusion. Change is important in the novel as the characters are forced to cope with the devastation of their lives and their environment caused by war.

glance Hemingway's novel For Whom The Bell Tolls appears to be an action packed war novel. But underneath all the action there are underlying ideas that reveal much about how war changes a man and causes him to realize the importance of time. Hemingway reveals these ideas about war through the narrator's thoughts and through the interaction between the major characters.

countries, in two specific examples, the Vietnam War and the Iraq Invasion of 2003. In both instances, the US had similar and different outcomes, ways of involvement and perspectives.

Change is one of the tallest hurdles we all must face growing up. We all must watch our relatives die or grow old, our pets do the same, change school or employment, and take responsibility for our own lives one way or another. Change is what shapes our personalities, it molds us as we journey through life, for some people, change is what breaks us. Watching everything you once knew as your reality wither away into nothing but memory and photographs is tough, and the most difficult part is continuing
People, like you and I, make history. But, war has been prevalent throughout our history, and it seems inevitable.

She believes that this is the only reason we have war, instead of it being an unavoidable social aspect, or something genetically built in us. I disagree, because war has been around for so long, and I feel that it is human nature to fight with each other Mead’s opinion is very
because they want a change to occur. Protesting is very useful when you want a change to occur because it inspires others and gets the attention from the government. Methods used when people protested during the Vietnam war and methods of protest used today reveal similar, effective patterns that are proven to be successful.

In this heartbreaking yet eye-opening novel, Beah meticulously describes the after effects of the Sierra Leone civil war on society, of the village named Imperi. During this time, when the
there would be no progress through personal and community situations and it probably wouldn’t even make us who we are. It is through conflict that we learn to control our emotions and give ourselves the opportunity to learn and grow. It also allows us open ourselves to other opinions and viewpoints. During this, we may have to face tough decisions and will often make mistakes, but all these will help us to grow in wisdom and consideration of others to become better individuals. There are many types of
