    Furthermore, Guterson accurately depicts the terror and hatred felt upon the Japanese Americans after World War II. Sergeant Victor Maples presents an unfair testimony about Kabuo’s dexterous kendo skills as he states “No it would not surprise Sergeant Victor Maples to hear that Kabuo Miyamoto had killed a man with a fishing gaff. He is highly capable of such a deed” (285). Judging whether a person can kill another man is impossible and prejudicial; there are too many variables to accurately predict if a man is capable of killing another man solely based on his ethnicity’s history. To think that Kabuo would commit murder just because his ancestors were highly trained in it is completely biased and unreasonable; there is absolutely no way to

Beller’s e-mail found in The New Yorker both contain universal themes that clearly represent the lives and emotions of soldiers who are stationed overseas. For one, “Ten Kliks South” is a personal account of a narrator’s first experiences of death under the circumstances of war. Likewise, Beller’s e-mail is also a first-person report on a traumatic rocket bombing in Baghdad. Both of these pieces illustrate a common portrait, of which there are American soldiers in a foreign and unknown land, a day of violence, and the progression of that such violence into intensive contemplation on the soldier’s respective situations.
