a war of gifts

Dear Reader;

 

            “A War of Gifts” is about war about kids who are taken from there homes and force to fight in a war, but they have to go to battle school first. they are forced to give up there religion and beliefs.  I will talk about how “A war of Gifts” shows war as a theme in this  blog I will talk about how war can force people to do things they do not want to. Also how war makes people give up things they do not want to. an how war it is used in this story as a theme. i will help I will show you how it shows war as a theme though repented and genres. I chose to do my theme on war because this book conflicts come from war and being taking away from there homes because of war.everything that happens in this bbook all the problem are because of the war between the human race and alien race.

What a cruel thing is war:  to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.  ~Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864

The clock is ticking and times going by

We meet on the battle field to draw the line

Its you and me who’s goanna die

We stand face to face no time to cry

This is war

Nothing is for sure 

anything can happen when you’re in the middle of war

Choose the door

you want to take

War aint sweet not even like cake

This is war

Its all about the win and gore

You think you up for it step to the plate

Don’t be fake

Your life’s at stake

This is war

What it goanna take 

     

If we do not end war - war will end us.  Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.  ~H.G. Wells

 


War is never a solution; it is an aggravation.  ~Benjamin Disraeli

 

 Older men declare war.  But it is the youth that 

must fight and die.  ~Herbert Hoover

War! that mad game the world so loves to play.  ~Jonathan Swift

                       This is my theme and the ways i choose to explain them in some of these genres. i choose a rap for my first one because i raps or wrote about many things and get was a good one to use because there are some raps about war to get some ideas ( but not copy). i choose advertisement because there are a lot pf advertisements out there we see them everyday and it easy and simple for someone to get the point. for my third i choose a movie because almost everyone watches TV or something so they can relate to it and it is a good attention grabber.the last one i picked a book jacket because when someone picks a book they look at the book jacket if it doesn't look good or grab there attention to pick it up then they wont end up reading it. someone is more likely to pick up a book with a a lot of color and a nice cover then a plain black cover and a beat up book. thats why i choose them for this project. some difficulties i ran into was the blog wouldn't let u do things a way you wanted to so you had to find a way it would let you witch took for ever. i learned from this project that genre is a creative way of expressing you point or doing something
