LAQ'S

GENERAL:
1. My book was about a little boy who lived in Pittsburgh during the time of World War 2. He grew up with his dad who worked to maintain him, his mom, and sister. But sadly he was sent to a factory far away from home to build weapons for the U.S. The little boy for his b-day got toy soldiers and a "CASTLE". He soon grew up and fell in love with a girl named Ginny. When his friends started singing up for the war, he wanted in, because he didn't want to be considered a coward. His love Ginny, his mom & dad could not see there little boy go to a place that would possibly kill him. But he refused to stand back and Ginny & him didn't talk until a day after he was ready to leave. The first day at war he saw things he never wished to see. He then saw his best friend Tony die right in front of his eyes that is when he realized war was not a game. They headed out to there last battle against the Japanese and there he saw a CASTLE with lined up soldiers just how he used to play with. He survived but lost so much.
2.The theme of the novel is about loosing everything for war.
3.The authors tone is very kind, he wanted to be with those who struggled & suffered of the war of america ; and sad, he would talk about how day by day he would loose contact with Ginny.
4.
CHARACTERIZATION:
1.Direct Characterization
Ex 1.) "If you die,you miss everything. You won't be back and you'll miss everything" Ch. 7 pg.47
Ex 2.)" I can't get out Ginny. I'm in. I'm not spending the next decade in prison. I'm in." Ch. 9 pg.58
Indirect Characterization:
Ex. 1) "You don't know whats behind it all." Ch. 9 pg.58
Ex 2.) " I just don't like god in a suit" Ch.6 pg. 38
3. I Think The Author Uses Both Approaches To Make People Both See They Use Something Or Say Something Without Knowing Or Knowing What They Caused. The Protagonist is dynamic because he would always talk about how he failed in life just to not be considered/called a coward. He even calls out to Ginny on the book letting her now he's still alive and loving her. His memories and thoughts are all about his past.
4. I Honestly Do feel like I've met this person because at the end this character dedicates this book to his lost love Ginny.

REFLECTING ON MY MIDTERM

I Actually Say In My Mid-Term Test Went Well I Knew All 120 Words By Memory Even Though We Did Half (: , But What Didn't Go So Well Was The Matching, Some Definitions Were Words I Didn't Know Which Made It Hard For Me. I Think That All Of These Words Will Stick In My Mind Because When I Was Studying I Learned Them Quick, Since I've Learned Them Before I Just Needed To Review Once.What I Can Improve For Next Time Is Too Put More Taught Into The Definitions And Really Know What That Definition Could Define To.(:
