Harutomo And Kansuke Relationship Analysis

85 Words1 Page

On page 131, Harutomo explains how he and Kansuke had to keep busy by distributing rice and millet to the soldiers and how sometimes, some soldiers would come complaining to one of the two claiming someone had stolen their share of food. This relationship between Harutomo and Wada Kansuke with the soldiers reminded me of a parent and child relationship in a sense. This may sound funny, but a lot of kids fight with their friends/siblings and come running to their parents, blaming the other.

    O’Brien writes, “You can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil” (76). Regardless of the changes within the narrations, the fact remains, that these soldiers are in the middle of battle and the emotion that follows differ for each person. As Kaplan states in his writing, “the most important thing is to be able to recognize and accept that events have no fixed and final meaning and that the only meaning that events can have is one that emerges momentarily and then shifts and changes each time that the events come alive as they are remembered or portrayed”
