I am not going to lie, I was kind of apprehensive as to what to expect after getting through the first chapter; however, I have found many concepts and ways of thinking in which I can relate, or which others in my family can. My older sister, who is in her mid-twenties is known around our house as being the one who makes rash decisions or accusations without any argumentation to back up her comments. With that being said, she once made the comment that, “some people should not be forced to fight on the front line, but should instead stay back and be the ones instrumental in keeping the country running along with maintaining the position of the ‘figure head’ who makes the military decisions (this was paraphrased, for I do not recall the direct dialogue, just the content of).” In awe, I did not know how to respond, other than being appalled and hoping her eyes will one day be opened and she would not be able to place the life of one person above another. Upon reading the last passage of page 39, I couldn't help but recall this comment my sister made. This mindset shared by her and the main character allowed me to open my eyes to the harsh accusations that some people actually believe in in certain points in their lives.
