" Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong"

I found this chapter very confusing. For a while i couldnt figure out what was going on until Mary Ann showed up. i found it hard to believe that during a war you could just ship your girlfriend in. I would think this would be a huge distraction but ccording to Mark Fossie what they were doing was much at all once they got use to it. Mary Ann begins to change. She becomes quiet and distant from Mark Fossie and then one night she just doesnt come back little did they know Mary Ann was out on ambush. The war had changed her but i feel as if she was happy with who the war turned her into which is something that most people cant say.

  1. No most people can't say this, but she's wearing a necklace of human tongues! The horror of this story is not really addressed here. There seems to be so much hyperbole (and the story is about storytelling too). It seems the exaggeration is essential to show just how the war can effect even the most innocent among us.
