Hum, What Would it Be Like?

All of the soldiers in Restropo say that the most difficult and scary mission was Rock Avalanche, which Junger describes in book two "Killing," chapters one through five. Junger describes these events from his own view of what he saw. For this blog, select one of the characters who took part in Rock Avalanche and describe what happens over the course of those three days from that character's viewpoint. You will need to work very closely with your book. See how much detail and description you can include. Don't write a summary or retell what happened. Instead, put yourself in the character's shoes and write about his experience during Rock Avalanche. Have fun with this one.

WAR! What is it Good For?

Well, it has been quite a while since we have bloged together. By now, you should be pretty much finished with the book (have read through book three, "Loving," chap. 5). Why do you think he calls the first book "Fear," the second book "Killing," and the third book "Loving"? Talk about each book and what the connection is between the events in the book and the book's title. In other words, what happens in "Fear" that you think he called that part of the book "Fear." Why does he call the second book "Killing," and the third book "Loving."

Be very specific and refer to the book and what is happening in the book to support your answers.
