1. " The war took from me what I never knew in the first place" (Hughes, 189) (Mood)
2. " He drove home instead and then slipped off into his bedroom for the rest of the night" (Hughes, 11)  (Prose)
3." The air sung, as it passed us by during those long hours in the jungle" (Hughes, 127)(Personification)
4. "The air was as crisp as a newly un- packaged piece of notebook paper that day"  (Hughes, 120)  (Simile)
5. " I watched slowly as  the mans chest exploded into a million tiny pieces of flesh, and at that moment  I watched as my sense of security vanished from within  me " ( Hughes, 170) (Imagery) ]]> 2017-05-09 18:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/170846269 gritch0735 https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/170852516 1. This quote best represents mood because of the sadness of the words. It let's the reader know that war took a lot out of Rick and he will have to recover physically, but even more so mentally. 
2. This quote best represents prose because of its casual, everyday tone. This quote has no significant meaning to the overall story, it is wrote in an ordinary manor and has no poetical structure or devices.
3. This quote best represents Personification because it is giving an inanimate object the ability to do a human activity. The air cannot sing. 
4. This quote best represents a simile because in the quote, it is comparing two things using the words like or as. In this case, the word as, is used to compare paper and the air. 5. This quote best represents imagery because it sets the scene for the reader. Rick is telling us how while he physically saw a man blow up, he felt his sense of security leave is body. The words here are very poetic and descriptive.]]> 2017-05-09 18:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/170852516 gritch0735 https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/170856902 Motif # 1:
One of the main motifs in the book, Search and Destroy is finding out who you are. Pretty much the whole book is Rick wanting to know who he really is. He doesn't know what he was put on this earth to do and he hopes that by going to war, he will find that answer. Rick also hopes that being at war will make him a man. Rick soon learns that what he though would help him find out the answer his question made it harder to find. This motif has a great deal of significance in the book because  that is the overall main message in the whole book.

They teach the reader that finding out who you are isn't necessarily as easy as it looks. It also teaches the reader that making rash decisions can sometimes do more harm than good. Rick set out to find out who he was and also set out to become a man, but the war actually harmed him both physically and mentally. He wound up being even more lost as a person then when he joined the army.]]> 2017-05-10 18:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/171089546 gritch0735 https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/171095784 Motif # 2:
The second motif in Search and Destroy may not be as significant as motif number one, but it still holds a great deal of importance. The motif is don't make rash, important decisions simply to answer a question within your life. The point of this motif is that sometimes what you think can help you can do the total opposite. It can do more harm than good. The book sort of teaches you to think before you make a big decision in your life, especially one as big as enlisting in the military.

I chose this as my list because those events are the ones who really stood out to me. These events helped shaped the whole book from beginning to end. Each event had a significant part in the book. Every event struck up another event which made the book flow better. 
Paragraph 2: The picture relates because Rick was a solider that was wounded in the Vietnam war and so is the man in the picture. The whole book pretty much is about going to war and how war can effect you, mentally and physically. Even though the man in the picture that was shot represents Rick, the guy helping the ounces buy also represents Rick because Rick also had to help his friend when his buddies foot got blown completely off. In the book Rick was offended both physically and mentally.]]> 2017-05-12 18:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/171555150 gritch0735 https://padlet.com/gritch0735/r1x80blywrde/wish/171561282 Hughes, Dean.
