Short Answer 1.The five main characters are Jimmy Cross, Mitchell Sanders, Tim O'Brien, Mark Fossie, and Kiowa. Jimmy Cross relates to me by being resposible for a big group of people. I may not be responsible for that many people but for this lit circle assignment i was responsible for my group by trying to make sure they do there work and making sure everything gets done along with Ashley. Mitchell Sanders relates to me because he is one of the most kind and likeable soliders and even though not everyone may not like me I try to be as kind and as nice to people as I can. Tim O'Brien does not to relate to me at all. Mark Fossie relates to me because in the story his girlfriend come to war with me and I would do the same thing because it comforts you having something close to you be there with you. Kiowa does not relate to me at all because I do not see any similarites in him that is the same as me.

2.The effects on war impacts the soliders alot. Sometimes they would get one of there friends killed on accident because of a slight mistake they did kills them. And they usually feel guilty about that or dissapointed. It also effects them because they are far away from home and they miss there friends and family and they bring pictures and things that remind them of those special people.

Essay 1. The mens positions in the book are very similar to to the mens positions in the war today. They were both put in the hard postion to fight for our country. They have to be away from home for long periods of time and see without there family which must be very diffucult. They have to go through difficult obstcals to they cause stay alive and not get injured.

4. The problems that are faced in the Vietnam War that are faced with the war today are very similar. In the book it says how a girl named Mary Ann Bell goes to war and then being there she becomes crazy. Soliders today might not become that crazy but they do suffer some issues with being in war. They have flashbacks of shooting at things. It is usually very difficult for them to live a normal live after being in Iraq because every little thing reminds them of the horrible conditions they were in.
