Socratic seminar ideas

     In the Socratic seminar I would like to discuss the role that katzinski has on his peers because I have found that he is one of the most interesting characters in the book so far. His insight and wisdom he has into life has brought up some very good points. I also really like his quotes and I think they are very well said and that is why he will probably play a large role in this book. For themes I would like to discuss loneliness and how the soldiers fight it by building close relationships with each other. And other themes like sacrifice and anger and how they play parts and interlock with each other. The effect that sacrifice has on the soldiers and what it causes them to do I believe will be brought up later and throughout the book. Other than those themes, I found in chapter three that the themes of superiority and revenge come up a lot within the troops. Like how when given power over other people it causes you to change opinions and maybe become a different person emotionally and mentally. And for those following order I would say that they are not thinking about what would happen if they didn’t follow orders or if it is a good idea but almost droning on as most soldiers do while in war. Overall the reason I bring up superiority and title change is because this book takes place on the battlefield during a world war so their will probably be some title change soon. The characters in this book I have not paid a lot of attention to but more on the themes. This book I suspect to be dosas and already has been because of men losing legs and limbs which back than basically ruined your life.
