Hello I am Andrew Nolan. I am writing this post mainly to talk about the book "Purple Heart" A book I will be reading in my English class. The reason i chose this book to read because i was interested in what it was like to come back from a war. When I picked out the book I expected to learn what it is like to not only come out of a conflict but learn what its like to deal with memory loss. I felt a personal connection to this because my grandmother is suffering from Alzheimer's, that is the main reason why i chose this book. One thing from the anticipation guide we reviews that i wanted to share was "Fear of the unknown is greater than the fear of knowing what you are faced with" Its things like this that can really spark a discussion witch is exactly what happened. During class we had a silent written discussion on a piece of paper. Most people in my group agreed that not knowing is usually far worse than knowing. To me this was a very interesting topic and i hope the book has a lot to offer on the subject.
