- 51-Percent Minority
The essay that i like best is In the Trenches. This is because in my culture, people who have fought in the war are people that are respected a lot. Through In the Trenches, i was able to see the other side of war, the cruel part. "The shattering explosions splinter the air in a million fragments. I taste salty liquid on my lips." (Harrison 112) This quote is one that is very descriptive, it shows what the soldiers in war experience through what they feel and taste. This makes it easy for me to imagine what the soldiers felt in the war trenches. The descriptive writing of what the a new soldier does in this kind of situation such as, " I begin to pray. God-God-please." Makes me understand the reality of war. In the Trenches have shown me what war is really like through all these descriptive writings.
