For the 3rd quarter i chose to read From Baghdad, With Love as you already know. I liked this book for the most part because I like learining about what goes on in war and how people manage to live through it. However, the settings were kind of hard to follow because Kopelman was contstantly on the move doing some different military assignment for the Marines. I can relate to this because I have this video game series called Call of Duty that requires similar actions. You are a soldier in the military and they send you out on lots of missions which is another reason why i liked this book. The other aspect of this book containing calming, and loving emotions really balances out the effects of war. I really liked Lava as a character and the way that Kopelman describes him is like he is a person, not an animal. For this reason, I enjoyed the book the most. I would recommend it to anyone that is curious of war and its effects on people, and people that like dogs.
Blogging as a whole was kind of difficult this quarter. The book that i chose was written in like a journal format with dates and places and years which made it kind of hard to follow. Overall, it was ok, and maybe it was just the choice of book that made it slightly more difficult. One thing that i would like to talk about would be ning posting. I don't really know how to post on the ning without it being kind of awkward. I kind of want to skype a lot more instead of posting on the ning because it would be easier if i knew the people that i was talking to. The one day that we had to skype was really funa and I can't wait until we do it again. Was it true that you said that we get to skype in groups in the library on the netbooks? That would be really cool and fun!
