It accurately depicts the physical and psychological effects of war on soldiers and commemorates their ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ]]> 2017-04-28 22:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/168986454 "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/168988059 This war literature book is my favorite because it helps depict the challenges that soldiers face when they go to war. It also helps civilians understand why it can be so difficult for soldiers to adjust to life after war. ]]> 2017-04-28 23:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/168988059 https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/169013185 I think that war literature has affected me by showing me the unglorified version of what was happening.

Doerr brought sympathy to both sides, making a realistic view of war.]]> 2017-04-29 17:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/169022406 The Boy in the Striped Pajamas srmfranke https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/169035011 by John Boyne
I'm intrigued by many excellent war novels, but recently was fascinated by Boyne's descriptive tale of two young boys affected by Hitler's  'cleansing.'   Bruno's story shows us that the innocent children of Nazi commanders were affected by the horrors of the Holocaust.  Bruno's encounter with Shmuel, a young Auschwitz prisoner, shows the reader that children of the war are just that, children.  They make friends and are loyal even when it puts them in peril.]]> 2017-04-30 00:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/akfranke16/8x9hsrb6hqmq/wish/169035011
