War

Chapter Seven: A Different View

Term: Declarative Sentence

       Le Ly was born into war and knew nothing else. She realized that "American wives and mothers, too, were losing husbands and sons every day in the evil vortex between heaven and hell that my country had become".  I believe this declarative sentence is trying to tell readers that Le Ly is hurt that people were losing family members because of the war going on in her country.  She thought that America would be paradise but then realized that there were people there who were hurting as well.  There are many families today that have lost loved ones in wars.  They go through the absence of a loved one and sometimes the death of that person. That is definitely not paradise. People in all parts of the world have to face this tragedy.   I believe that the people who risk their lives for their country are true heroes.
