quote keeper week 4

1.)was this the dog that had not barked in my opinion i think this is refering to somone who has not really experienced much in life yet 2.)all hands make sure every shot counts i agree with this because i believe every man should fight to their best and make sure every thing including each shot they take counts 3.)he was a brave man looking for ammo i think this means that the man zullo was commanding was doing anything he could to keep his troups going and fight off the chinese

CONNECTOR WEEK 3

Text to Text - Give Me Tomorrow is similar to the show M.A.S.H. that as i was little used to watch with my Great Grampa. Its based on a group of doctors during the same time period as the korean war. Text to World - this book relates to what is happening in libya. with the whole terrorist and the anti fly zone over libya, which they might have had over korean at certain times during the war. Text to Self - i can sorta relate to this book due to the fact that bothj my Great Grampa and my GrandFather served as infrintry men during the Korean War and my Great Grampa also Served in WWII. So i can relate some of their old war storys to the experiances in the book.

Week 4- Quote Keeper.

"I went to tell them good-bye", - Farr. This quote sums up a lot of this book, throughout this book many of the mens friends and even family died. It was very hard for them to go back in later years and tell them good bye. "Months of dirt, blood, and grime just washed away", - Farr. This quote said by Farr was a great one. When he was done taking his shower he said this and it just shows how long they had to go without good care of there bodies for months after months. Y0u could imagine what they would look like. pg 186 "In twenty minutes, we were all sick as dogs.", - Olmstead. This quote displays how bad of conditions these men were fighting in. They would get sick so quick because of the -30 degree weather and the wind. They just did not have the gear they needed for this war.

Journal week 4

the chinese were swarming our position and my m1 was frozen and useless. i quickly pulled off my glove to reach for the only weapon at my disposal, a mark 2 frag grenade. as i pulled off my mitten to better grasp the grenade it stuck to my hand so as i lobbed it towards the enemy it peiled the skin off my hand. the grenade hit a chinese soldior in the chest and exploded, killing him and takeing several others with him, yet the kept comeing. i was fritened at this point and and hoped that reinforcements would be here soon when mortar fire started to hit in front of my foxhole and i was over joyed that i was being coverd and could retreat to safety.
