The way he talks about Henry's problems make you feel like you are experiencing the same struggles and emotions. Being young myself I found this book to feel very close and encouraging.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990196973530475141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499582243291531753.post-63712535858376151952010-10-07T22:31:14.437-04:002010-10-07T22:31:14.437-04:00Hello Rob!

The way he describes a war in his writing are absolutely realistic. The characters are so alive when I am reading and that is so amazing to me.Katrinahttp://www.boojeebeads.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499582243291531753.post-27999438015800531442010-09-27T23:57:24.909-04:002010-09-27T23:57:24.909-04:00Thanks for this interesting posting, Rob.

I am not a literary critic, but, it seems to me, this is why Crane is, at heart, a modernist: his willingness to engage with the emotions of his characters and, by doing-so, with the reader's emotions as well. This lifts him above the mere recounting of soldiers' "heroics," as you say. Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
