Readers Journal
This is the readers journal. When I read this book, I thought I already knew all about the Universe that this book takes place in. This book proved me wrong. I learned things that I never would have guessed. It also showed me things that I thought were right wrong. A message that you can get from this to is that, no matter what comes your way don't give up. You may be lose people you care about, but you must keep on going. If you don't do it for yourself do it for them. Just keep pushing forward and never give up. That is the the message I got through this book. It could be the same message that everyone who reads it may get. It's a war book. There are sacrifices made, and lives spent and wasted. Also if you don't know the difference between a life spent and a life wasted, this will tell you the difference. An example is sending a soldier to his/hers death to save twenty other soldiers. That is a life spent. It's a life used to save twenty more. The main thing your'e going to have to live with though is knowing that that you sent that one soldier to his/hers death. It will be hard knowing that, but sometimes you don't have a choice in the matter. An another example is when you send a platoon of soldiers to there death to accomplish nothing. That is a life wasted. There was nothing to accomplish there. You also learn what it has to take to be a soldier. You cant pull back and because your'e afraid. You have to face your fear, and move forward. Keep moving forward until you drop, and when you drop, that's when you die.
