dijah's reflection

Hi im Khadijah Cole,
i liked the level of creativity of the project and the whole idea of the war because it lets everyone give there views. i did not like how the project had to be a blog you should have been able to choose how you were going to convey your message how ever you wanted. you should make it so that everyone can choose their own way top do it . I learned that i do not like blogs what so ever.

This song is a song I chose for the love of my life. She played it for me the last time i actually got to speak to her. She is everything to me and this song lets me know how she really feels being the wife of a soldier.

Ronisha reflection

My name is Ronisha Miller. There is very few things that I liked about this project. I felt very overwhelmed at the end of the year to receive it. I do like how a person could include a emotional in take to it and be creative. Not many projects include that,  most of them are strictly facts and concrete details. Through the project I learned how to picture some one else in the time of the Vietnam War.

G.I bravo company TI 3. Today marks my 21st birthday the 11th of May born 1990. Who would have ever thought a country boy from Mississippi would ever become one of the united states most deadliest weapons . A wife and unborn child at home whom may not even ever see this "American patriot ". He will not hear the stories of Vietnam, "my hell", how I wake up,strap up and go out to permeate the enemy . Uhh well my life back at home was subtle, she always wanted a big house,blue shutters, and a white picot fence . Being a shoe maker that kind of money didn't come in, couldn't support my own ,how would I support a family and an offspring .? The only thing I could provide to her before I left was the keeper of her to me and the embrace of her ring finger left hand, a ring. The white man laughed at my perseverance they said "gone go to the war a nigger should die for some kind of honor," I smiled back at them then and now I laugh being a G.I , I LAUGH.!  To be so diligent, to work so hard, the militarys' most prized weapon ,does it pay off.?

I'm starting to feel angry and belligerent in Vietnam. I feel like I'm trapped in a closet and I can't get out. Every where I turn I can't depict who the enemy is anymore. Disguised as a civilian,  may be the next person that is trying to kill me. I have lost many hours  of sleep because of the high of adrenaline. So I'm tired and starving with every step that I take.Does anyone know why we are out here anyway?Why this blood shed continues to go on anyway? Due to communism! My brothers die before me because of communism.I continue to battle but the question is will I even make it home?  Generals are starting to be relentless even civilians are starting to come up dead for example the My Lai Massacre. The war is more  brutal then you could imagine. Imagine seeing someones head shot off before your eyes, or a baby dead cut in half. Even my own comrades are starting to become crazy we turn to drugs and racial skirmishes flame up between us.

Linda's Reflection

 My name is Linda Lux.
    well i like the creativity of this project. i like how its somewhat different from what other classes are doing.
i also like how it is also in a way to teach us about the vietnam war. But one thing that i dont really like is that i feel rushed doing this. It is almost th end of the school year. i wouldve liked to maybe have had more time on this project and maybe had the opputunity to maybe make it in a way a much better blog and well the way that this is structured really gets me into the whole vietnam war.
