Chapter Six Literary Reflection Paragraph
There Are Many Horrors Of War
War is the ultimate reality-based horror show
- David Hackworth
There are many horrors of war but some can be petrifying. Reading chapter six really showed me the horrors of modern war. I was very anxious when reading the very descriptive chapter. While reading this chapter I have learned what the soldiers have to go through. Killing rats just to get food, this shows what they have to do to survive the horrible war. When I started reading chapter six, Fitz told us that there was going to be a lot of battle senes and it was going to be the most gruesome chapter. When I heard that, I was kinda feeling like he was just saying that to scare us, but when we got into the chapter, I realized that he wasn’t lying. The chapter was so gruesome and very descriptive. It really showed how bad the soldiers got wounded from the worn out German artillery. The chapter really taught me a lot about war. It gave me some perspective on how war was really like back then. I thought war was just like people killing each other and fighting but reading this chapter showed me that it is really horrible. The author really described how they had to take care of each other and he showed how horribly they died. Reading this chapter was totally worth it. I am so happy that I read this because I learned a lot about war and the horrors of it. I would recommend this book to anyone and make sure that they pay attention to this chapter.
