I can’t imagine how they risked their lives in that horrible place for years. I can’t believe those teenagers who lie about their age wouldn’t have a future if they lost their lives during the war. I’m stunned that even non-experienced soldiers/teens have to go to war no matter what happens. I know that many people are glad that they don’t need to experience that horror sight.
Even though we are still in the same world and there a new differences some are still the same. Like lying and judging people. But still, they could make some new changes. There are different and many different things that stand out to me. The most outstanding thing was the military and the soldiers.
How many military soldiers have to train and work hard day and night which is non-stop work! That they only have ONE uniform for a year-long, inedible food and artillery stuff. I’m so thrilled that nowadays we don’t need to worry about the shell-explosion, poison gases, and infection.
The tones of the voices of the soldiers sound really depressed, enthusiastic, surprised and scared. Which was actually eerie and flabbergasted because if I got put/forced to fight for my country. I would be frightened to even see my opponent/enemies and the dead bodies that were on the No Man’s Land.
I couldn’t imagine if I got put in the soldier position my knees would feel really weak and trembling. How the pain I would feel and how much I would miss my family members back home. I bet all the years would go by slowly and really tired. And I’m glad no one needs to go through that anymore.
I love how you expressed your feelings and your thoughts thoroughly. You also mentioned on how you would have felt if you were in the soldiers’ shoes. I’m sure we could all relate. Your work was really lovely.
I really love how you are empathetic with the teenage soldiers and how they risked their lives for the war, and the amount of true information you talk about in your post.
Aii how you talk about the tones of the voices I am hundred percent in agreement with you. Most of them sounded depressed, enthusiastic, surprised and scared. The way you express yourself about that you would be frightened to even see your opponent make me feel so identify with you.
I totally agree with you on the fact that it is really shocking that teenagers from 15 or 16 years went to war and risk their lives. I liked that you wrote about how you would’ve felt in that situation, that shows an empathic attitude from you!.
Hello Aii. Whatever your doing, keep doing it. I love this report because it feels very relatable as well as looking at the war through a different lens. Something I think you could do to improve your writing is to add more detail when describing your feelings on the matter. (P.S I love it when you said ‘flabbergasted’).
The way you described the documentary from your point of view was very similar to how I felt about it. I would suggest that when talking about the soldiers and the traumatizing experience they went through be a bit more specific. For example, explain about life in the trenches or the training they endured. Amazing job!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your personal response, as you included a wide variety of words, such as, ‘eerie’ and ‘flabbergasted,’ which made it interesting to read and it made the writing piece sound more personal. I liked how you were very honest, and included a lot of detail, for example, you said, “I can’t believe those teenagers who lie about their age wouldn’t have a future if they lost their lives during the war. I’m stunned that even non-experienced soldiers/teens have to go to war no matter what happens.”
I like how you emphasize your perspective of the film I can feel that you are really terrified of it and if you ever needed to go into a war you will be frightened which is relatable so I really love your post.
I liked how you talked about the tones that the movie showed us, I liked that you expressed your feelings and thoughts about it.
I enjoyed reading about your emotions towards the film and your mature writing structure and vocabulary.
