There was some great moments from a historical perspective. However there could have been more done on the present issue that Rikki was facing. <br />2. I have to agree Brooklynne with that conclusion. It's a kooky blend that isn't quite working.<br />3. I think it was accurate, I feel this period is sometimes brushed over especially for the minorities who were treated second class. I enjoyed walking in his shoes. <br />4. I grew up in New Zealand and I thought that racism was accurate in the past. I feel the current period, it's more tolerant. But my perspective is from a child who left still in the midst of childhood. <br />5. The friendships in this book is a highlight. I enjoy the honest comradeship that guys had. It broke up the brutality and dullness of day to day life in the War. <br />6. I think Rikki was torn between duty and trying to find his own ways. He was fooling people but honestly how was he going to convince people. I would have record the events and and tried to find my way back. <br />7. I honestly was left confused by the ending. This was my first thought after reading the first few pages. I would have addressed the white elephant in the room. What happened Riki in present times as whilst the author said their lives were intertwined. The only common factor was the experience in the war. I would ended with Rikki reflecting and doing something with the situation at hand.<br />8. The previous question addressed my main issue with this book.<br />9. Hmm honestly I don't' know. I have a great uncle who was professor at Harvard so that could be interesting. Tash Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942977076824999405noreply@blogger.com
