Why do you think Mary Anne would visit Vietnam during a war?

# data[].attributes.body
She probably got lost and disappeared.

# data[].attributes.body
Loss of innocence is made clear in this chapter each time there is a change in Mary Anne. Mary Anne represents the change because she used to by a bubbly person but now is a jungle woman. For example, when she learns how to use a gun, a part of her innocence is gone. This is seen again in the story about how Rat slaughtered the baby buffalo because he had just lost a friend in a terrible way. Rat lost part of his innocence when he had to witness the killing, and the proof of loss is when we read about him shooting a buffalo multiple times.

Why is Mary the only person so far to be fully invested and in love with the adrenaline you get from war? I she special or something? Mary Anne was described to be very curious and have a drive inside her. She changed because of her realizing that she needs more of this war adrenaline. I believe Mary was the only person because she has the right personality and perspective about the war. In a way, she symbolizes the population of people who glorify war, that support war, but has never really felt the consequences yet. Just like what Rat said, she's going to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Mary Anne starts off as an innocent, young high school girl, but Vietnam changes her and she loses all this, becoming a completely new person. In previous chapters, O'Brien included that the war changes people and he gave examples of how his comrades acted after losing innocence, like when they would play with grenades for fun.

# data[].attributes.body
If the story is true, I believe she decided to camp out there and survived. I say this because she was able to learn how to nurse the injured soldiers in just a few days, so all the time she spent around the green berets probably taught her how to survive out there.

Why is no one concerned about the magnitude of the change that Mary Anne goes through and the extreme ways she starts to act?

It shows how being in a war or a traumatic situation of survival can effect a persons entire mentality. It can take peoples innocence way and turn them into cruel or heartless people. It can also leave people feeling very lost or unsure of who they are.

# data[].attributes.body
The most unbelievable occurrence for me is that she disappeared into the forest.

# data[].attributes.body
Mary Anne starts off as an innocent young girl who is then brought out to a combat zone and by the end of the chapter she becomes a hollow shell of her form self and all of her humanity has been burned away

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mary Anne definatley portrays the loss of innocence when going to Vietnam, she saw some vial things and you can never unsee things from the war.

# data[].attributes.body
Marry Anne changed due to the realization of war, she learned how the world worked and she changed. War changed people in different ways and in her case made her a killer, but to other people it can break their immaturity, trust, or even happiness.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the chapter, Mary was portrayed as an innocent teenage girl and then she progressed into getting into the war and adapting to Vietnam culture and war life causing her to disappear and fight.

# data[].attributes.body
Was there a deaper reason as to why Mary Anne ran away?

# data[].attributes.body
What was your reaction to knowing that mary anne had been flown out to an active combat? and do you think something like that could even be considered a possibility by today's standards?

# data[].attributes.body
I think she ran away and found a life elsewhere. Found another town and started over.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading this chapter, do you believe that war can actually affect and change peoples lives as dramatically as it did to Mary Anne?

# data[].attributes.body
This theme is made clear by the description of Mary Anne throughout the chapter. It goes from high school teenager to a hunter/nomad. Curt Lemon's death affected Rat so much that he shot a baby buffalo many times. This doesn't happen unless your innocence is completely gone.

Like Mark said Mary Anne was very innocent, but after seeing everything that was happening in Vietnam it really changed her and then she became a killer (unrecognizable).

# data[].attributes.body
After she crossed to the other side I believe that she camped out and lived in the middle of the war for a while. Then I think she probably died due to lack of training and knowledge of what she was facing

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mary Anne flying out is the most unbelieavable thing to happen, and then she acts as a nurse with no training or expierence.

# data[].attributes.headline
Mary Anne was exposed to a lot of gruesome and new things in Vietnam. By being apart of the war first hand, her mindset quickly changed from being opposed to killing, to actually killing people for the sake of survival.

The things she saw in Vietnam were so life altering that she adapted to the lifestyle

What does the transformation of Mary Anne tell you about the war? It shows how much of a psychological impact the war had on regular people. It would strip their personality and ultimately become a new person.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not sure exactly but I think she went crazy and ran off on her own to try and survive against everyone as if it were some kind of free for all game.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think her mindset changed a lot after experiencing war first hand. She may have decided to leave and be on her own because she was more happy with herself that way.

The fact that Mary Anne was able to fly out to an active war-zone and act as an unofficial nurse

# data[].attributes.body
The most unbelievable part of this chapter is how an untrained, un prepared high school girl was able to fly out and stay on an army base, in one of the worst wars the US has been apart of

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is shown through the story with Mary Anne who was innocent before entering war.

# data[].attributes.body
Would you ever want somebody who is important to you to go into a battle field or dangerous war-zone just so you can be close to them? I would never expect nor want anybody I cared about risking their lives just so I can spend time with them.

# data[].attributes.body
The most unbelievable part to me is the fact that Mary Anne was allowed to stay at the base for the whole time without trouble.

# data[].attributes.headline
Mary had a lot of innocence in her before she stepped foot in Vietnam. She became a vicious killer after seeing everything around her.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Mary Anne could ever change back to the way she was before being exposed to the war?

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Mary have so much interest in the war? She was interested in the war because during that time period women didn't get to experience real war so she wanted to experience it.

# data[].attributes.body
Mary was an innocent young lady when she joined the war, but then she saw the horrors of it and it changed her into a killer.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that once a human is exposed to the sole idea of kill or be killed/ self preservation, can drive them to leave their humanity behind? I think that there are more than enough stories about how this happened to prove that it can become second nature. But to further extend the question, Can you regain your humanity after losing it?

# data[].attributes.body
What does the way Mary Anne react tell you about war? Mary Anne's reaction shows that war is something that people are changed by

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mary Anne adapted to the culture and life in Vietnam so I believe that's where she wanted to stay and experience it more.

The fact that Mary Anne was shipped to Vietnam, where the war was, to keep Mark company.

# data[].attributes.body
I think she ended up getting consumed with the occurrences that happen in war and the sheer thought of self preservation took over in turn making her go further into the war

# data[].attributes.body
I think that she lost herself and adapted to the Vietnamese culture so much that she turned into a nomad. She was happy where she was and wanted to keep doing what she was doing.

The most unbelievable thing was how Mary anne was able to stay at the base, help be a "nurse" even though she was not certified and how she could go out on an ambush with the 7 other guys at night.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most unbelievable thing was that it was allowed for his girlfriend to fly out to Vietnam.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the whole tongue necklace and the whole concept of a teenage girl being flown out to Vietnam during the war is a bit odd.

I think just the thought of flying a loved one out to Vietnam where there is a gruesome war happening is hard to believe

I think it is unbelievable to bring someone you love or your girlfriend to a war zone. I don't see this as believable because you wouldn't bring someone into a combat zone to see them. That puts their life at danger.

3) She began to lose her sense of humanity and adapted to a different more wild culture because she found that she was more comfortable with war and killing

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most unbelievable occurrence in this story is how is girlfriend actually went to Vietnam and was at the war because I would think that there would be rules that wouldn't allow this. Also doesn't that mess up like food rations and other things that the soldiers now need to split up for her to also be there.
