This book was also reviewed by many famous articles and websites. They reviewed it as good for people who like Sci-Fi books and I instantly knew it was a good book for me. The book's cover also appealed to me further since there were robots on what seemed to be another planet which is crazy. Overall I chose it for the action in the book.]]> 2023-02-21 21:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490318759 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490326680 The author starts with a sort of abnormal start to a book where the character in the first POV is undergoing some psychiatric treatment. It's not a good opening as it doesn't give us who the character is or his role but we can infer he is about to drop into war since it says before a drop, and them being in a ship. ]]> 2023-02-21 22:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490326680 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490335061 This dialogue between father and son shows their affection and care for each other. It shows how the story could go down different pathways. The story from here wouldn't be written if it weren't for his father to be wrong in this quote. If he was wrong there would actually be a story that there is now. This quote also shows the importance each of them show to each other and how they sympathize for each other. ]]> 2023-02-21 22:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490335061 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490347702 Zimm is teaching Johnie an important lesson about patience. This patience is the reason that they are still surviving in this war. If it weren't for this patience, they would be rogue people who want certain laws to occur. Only go to war if someone is using force against you since you think something is right. This is the correct time you would use force to engage in all out war.]]> 2023-02-21 22:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490347702 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490352907 Shows the importance of a leader in a critical situation as they are in now. The situation demands a strong leader and plenty of followers. If you try to go against the orders you will be disobeying the law and probably will get yourself killed. You might even risk others' lives since you were not doing your job diligently. Leaders are not expecting to be better than everyone, they just want them to try against the opposition. ]]> 2023-02-21 22:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490352907 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490371432 This decision he made to join the federal service might have changed the course that his life was about to take. He already had a good life ahead of him with a business that he just has to supervise and had life on easy mode. Then his best friend joined the federal service which tempted Johnnie to go and the rest was history...]]> 2023-02-21 23:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490371432 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490381101 This conflict between some boys playing Russian roulette caused Johnnie to get demoted to the lowest rank and scolded by Zimm. When he tried to talk it through with Zimm he was just given extra duty as they thought he was the one who instigated the shoot out and was the one who caused the chaos. ]]> 2023-02-21 23:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490381101 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490381424 Johnnie and his mates work very hard to prepare themselves for the hard work of making war personal. Johnnie’s promotion has something to do with maintaining the organization of the Roughnecks, but it also speaks to his character. Jelly, like Mr. Dubois before him, sees Johnnie’s potential even when Johnnie doesn’t see it himself. He proves that he’s the right man for the job by immediately ensuring that his authority will be respected by all the men in the section]]> 2023-02-21 23:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490381424 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490389952 Using Background Information I could infer that hypnotic has something to do with Hypnosis. Also using the words near the hypnotic is a command and it could be something about behavioral change. Awakened instantly and ready to fight also give me a thought that it could be a sudden relieve of consciousness. ]]> 2023-02-21 23:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490389952 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490393376 Using my knowledge of context clues I can infer that something a senior or respectful person in society says is to be thought of thoroughly. In this case he is using the word extraordinary to signify that he is on the positive side of what colonel Dubois said. ]]> 2023-02-21 23:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490393376 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490395095 Looking at words close to chevrons I see the main idea is talking about social status and ranking in the army. So I can infer it has to do something with the levels of where each person is on the ranking, let it be soldier to colonel. ]]> 2023-02-21 23:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490395095 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490405093 Thematic Concept: Militarism 

Thematic Statement: Militarism is only used by people who are eligible and have to patience to use it correctly. ]]> 2023-02-22 00:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2490405093 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491779512 In this story, the Protagonist builds his career path ahead of him instead of taking care of his parent's business. In Starship Troopers, Johnie wants to join the Federal troops but his dad tries to convince him to take care of the family business and fails. Similarly, the protagonist's dad tries to convince him to take care of the business but the Protagonist still wants to continue his start-up which is running fine.]]> 2023-02-22 22:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491779512 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491782889 “War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose". 

This line shows the importance of war and why it could be fought. It teaches the younger generation of why wars are actually fought and informs them that it isn't just blood and stabbing but some controlled controversy which deals with a global issue that can positively or negatively impact the world.]]> 2023-02-22 22:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491782889 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491785544 “That old saw about ‘to understand all is to forgive all’ is a lot of tripe. Some things, the more you understand the more you loathe them".

It is teaching a life lesson saying you won't forgive people if you understand them completely, instead you will hate them more. This is true for many stories today, the more you know about someone's life the more you might hate them. ]]> 2023-02-22 22:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491785544 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491786966 “Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.”

This line goes along with the theme of the book, militarism since it is talking about violence solving issues, which is not entirely wrong but there are far better ways to solve problems. One example could be a peaceful non-violent protest which got India their freedom from Great Britain. ]]> 2023-02-22 22:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491786966 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491792656 “The third ‘right’?—the ‘pursuit of happiness’? It is indeed unalienable but it is not a right; it is simply a universal condition that tyrants cannot take away nor patriots restore. Cast me into a dungeon, burn me at the stake, crown me king of kings, I can ‘pursue happiness’ as long as my brain lives—but neither gods nor saints, wise men nor subtle drugs, can ensure that I will catch it.”

This line shows the importance of happiness. Happiness is the way of life. In whatever situation you are in if your brain feels that you are satisfied you will automatically feel happy. People who want to experience true happiness will not go and use drugs and stuff, instead they will find a environment safe and fun to be in. ]]> 2023-02-22 22:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491792656 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491799919 “The most noble fate a man can endure is to place his own mortal body between his loved home and the war’s desolation.”

Shows the emotion that a pure soul faces when off at war. He respects his family and his job but can't live without the other. He can never have his mind in one place, always will think about the other when they are at home/work. This is real fate.]]> 2023-02-22 22:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491799919 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491802326 Similarity of rights after turning 18 in the real world and rights after turning 18 in the text.]]> 2023-02-22 22:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491802326 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491815492 The similarity between the methods the real world and Starship Troopers text use. ]]> 2023-02-22 23:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491815492 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491824063 This movie was about an invasive species trying to take over the world using brute force. Similarly in the book, the Bugs were trying to take over the human race. Both the texts have similar plots and ending where the Humans somehow find a way to stop the aliens plans to take over the World and live happily ever after. ]]> 2023-02-22 23:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491824063 valjapur https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491832059 This popular series actually has so much in similar with Starship Troopers. In both texts, the antagonist is a Bug or Insect that wants to take over the other person's territory. Also, the protagonist is a human who is assisting the side that he feels is correct. In both texts, there is a war between the species over territory. The resolution in both texts is favorable toward the Protagonist because that is how fiction books are supposed to work. ]]> 2023-02-22 23:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/valjapur/qw2m3hss3wgdrsqt/wish/2491832059
