The Sorrow of War (Assignment 5)

       The novel Sorrow of War, has shown me how cold hearted a person can be. This novel not only explains the ruthless things people can do to a person it also taught me the true significance of love and war. However, fighting in the vietnamese war can be a bit complicated due to not be connected with the real world and how one can not trust other people. One has to work hard everyday just to fight for their lives only to live another days worth of fighting and killing. Although kien and phuong were really close back in their time, they suddenly drifted apart as if kien never thought that it would happen to them. This novel also taught me how friendships can suddenly change over time ruining the memories of what one might have with one another. This novel not only teaches one how to survive, it also teaches people how soldiers during the war fought hard and mostly died just to save their country. While reading this novel one can gain huge amounts of knowledge about many things: friendship, love, and how to survive.


       The novel Sorrow of War, was written to acknowledge the mind of readers and to influence them about the real world and What one can go through. This novel also teaches the life of war and what soldiers go through to either survive or be killed. Throughout this novel, kien is one of ten survivors who tries to deal with his real life and the life of a soldier all at one time. He struggles with his love relationship because of how complicated phuong made it. He didnt know whether if he wanted to continue living the horrible life he was living or to push on. However, even though he stuggled he felt as if he was living in hell due to soo many tragic events occurred in his life.
