We had men fighting for our country, to save the loved ones they had to leave behind, to become heroes and keep promises they made to their people. Aside from the men, the women were working too, making shells for bullets to send to the army. "I think of how little we knew of human rights, union rights" The way these women were being treated, was unfair, cruel, and nasty. They were around chemicals they didn't even know much about, chemicals that made them turn the color orange. And with their hair turning orange, all they could care about was if other women would judge them. These women had to deal with the hurt they felt inside when their husbands came back different men. The war didn't just change these men, it changed a lot of women too. It turned them agaisnt somethings they thought they would always believe and trust in. The government, who they thought they could trust... was feeding them false information about what was really happening during this war. It just very sad and gives me a better understanding of what World War II was like for women. And as for the men, the only thing keeping them going was the faith in their friends. Everyday they knew that this enemy was so strong and would do anything to make sure that the Americans were dead. "Kick him in the balls before he kicks you in yours." All I can say about this quote is how true it is. After trying to help one of the japs out, keeping him safe because he was already injured... he paid them back by trying to kill the men trying to save him. It was a much different story obviously from the previous passage, but both detailed and interesting to read.
