It matter how you use your army and their synergy. As it says in the text "yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen". This meant that if armies or smaller armies had better synergy and combination they can defeat so much more than a larger army. One of the more important ways these small armies defeat larger ones, is trickery. Chinese trickery was the key to certain fights since they were outnumbered most of the time. Meaning they had to use everything they could in order to achieve victory. Therefore it doesn't matter how big your army is, what matters is how they cooperate and synergize with each other.]]> 2021-12-09 15:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1938537171 Book Review sia242781_1 https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1938570143  "The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.

This book, written in the 5th century BC, tells us the strategies and tactics needed for winning a war. Sun Tzu tells us that no nation is ever benefitted by prolonged warfare, and it is better to avoid battles. If we reach a point where war is inevitable, Sun Tzu will help us win it in the best way possible without hurting many people. Even though it was written centuries ago, all the tactics mentioned in it are still relevant.

The main point of this book isn't entirely what you need to do in war. It's only when you need to. What I mean by this is that this book does not only teaches you war techniques it also teaches you things about life and how to control certain things in your life. Especially Anger. This book teaches you tactics that were from centuries ago and the fact that they are effective today is crazy. One of the most important things about this book is that Sun Tzu said that "No nation will benefit with prolonged warfare." What he is trying to say is that no war that is prolonged will do anything to the nation but destroy it slowly.]]> 2021-12-09 16:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1938588342 Literary Element sia242781_1 https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944895940 Character vs War/Self]]> 2021-12-13 15:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944895940 Literary Element Analysis sia242781_1 https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944897453 Even though looking at this book will make you think that, it only teaches you warfare, But it teaches you much more than war. This includes yourself and how to control yourself. This book was made by a general from centuries ago. That may or may not had paranoia issues but he still made a book that will teach you about, not just warfare but yourself. It teaches you how to deal with yourself and your emotions. Through various coping skills that he teaches you. Sun Tzu is wise and will tell you or teach you certain things that will make you realize the things you have been doing. He writes about things that make you step back and realize what your doing wrong. ]]> 2021-12-13 15:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944897453 Symbolic Image sia242781_1 https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944919788 2021-12-13 16:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944919788 Symbolic Image Explanation sia242781_1 https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944921083 The main reason why I chose this image is that it reminds me not only how advanced Ancient China was, it reminds me the beauty it had. I think this image really does represent the book since it was about warfare but still. Ancient China was pristine, noble, and well managed, Through all that warfare. It's just the pure beauty not only in the picture but they're war techniques and strategies.]]> 2021-12-13 16:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sia242781_1/artofwar/wish/1944921083
