DeleteGreenies Took Mary on night patrols. Eddie Diamond was the highest ranking NCO. Mark Fossie gets Mary Anne to come with the shipment. Mary Anne is Mark’s girlfriend who wore a pink sweater and a cotton skirt. She later wore a necklace made of tongues.
ReplyDeleteGood events
Deletegood job you described all the events that are important .
DeleteI think that Mary Anna symbolizes people going crazy after a long time of seeing dead people and killing the others. She symbolizes the fact that war changes people and that it is a weird place. The symbol that she really represents is the respect that you need to give the war or you will become crazy. Mary Anne represents what the men have to go through to stay alive in the war every day.
ReplyDeleteYou have been paying attention.
Deleteyea
DeleteReally good :)
DeleteMary Anne symbolizes a soldier because she got their the same way a soldier did. War does things to you changes your life for Mary Anne it changed her. soldier get drafted and get their all innocent, Mary Anne got their innocent and later became a soldier. after a while she became part of the land or Vietnam. She represents what war does to you.
ReplyDeleteGood Description
DeleteMary symbolizes the soldiers. She came in all pretty and weak. After a couple of weeks she was getting her hands dirty and going out on patrols. After a month she was a hardened soldier ready to take on all challenges.
ReplyDeleteno didnt say she was weak in the story (shm u weird man)
DeleteMary Anne symbolizes what the war does to you at first you’re eager to be in the war and curious how everything is but then once you actually experience it the war changes you. You’re not the same anymore you realize what the war really is its not all fun and games its true stuff. The war makes you change you know what its like to risk your life and actually have to fight. There is just something about it that makes you realize what its really about. When you come back from the war you are a whole different person…..you’re grown up.
ReplyDeleteGreat as always haha.
Deletegood jobbbb ^.^
DeleteI think that the most important events of this story was Marry Ann and Mark Fossie relationship. This is because he is the reason why she came. While she was there she changed a lot. From being her little girly self to become one of the rough looking greenies. Than she went out one night and never back.
ReplyDeleteGood Job! You summarized it well :)
DeleteMary Anne was a symbol of what war will do to people. There she was, this sweet little innocent girl who was bubbly and always giggling yet towards the end of the this chapter she changed into someone who seemed crazy, no one could've guessed it was Mary Anne. She enjoyed the rush of being with the greenies on ambush it was like a drug to her, almost as if she felt alive. Mary Anne did go crazy but I'm almost sure she was the happiest mofo out there. So she symbolizes what the war can do to people.
ReplyDeleteGood (:
Delete#Smart
one of the most important is when that dude got shot in the head. Mary Anne is a important part. When they shot the buffalo. The general blames his self for the dude dying

Deletei think Mary Anne might symbolize a crazy person, because she had went nuts. she just diapered in the forest and she has been missing. They found her but then again she was gone and she when with the greenies and the stay up all night and day to ambush the other.she just when crazy.
ReplyDeletevery good katie!!!!! keep it up!
DeleteThis chapter was about Mark Fossie getting his wife over to where he was stationed. Mary Anne was a Young, blonde, big- boned, from Cleveland, 17 years old, blue eyes, she is friendly, but then she start changing.The event that was important was when his wife went missing.Then they found her with the greenies. After that she went really crazy.
ReplyDeletenice.
DeleteMary-Ann shows up and Mark fossie was happy that She was coming to Vietnam to see him. But when they started talking and stuff Mary-Ann started changing she was always out late and Mark fossie was worried of where she was at, where was she going to. Mark fossie soon figures out that she is a Greenie, He thinks that she is changing into one of them. Mary-Ann says she feels like she can be herself.
ReplyDelete2. Mary Anne might be a symbol for what war does to you. In her case, the war made her realize what really important is, for example she does not longer care as much about her outward appearance as she used to.
ReplyDeleteWhile being in borderline situations, she discovers who she really is.
She is wearing a necklace made of human tongues, that might symbolize the moral concept has changed.
I think that she symbolize the things that VN does
ReplyDeleteto you. when Mark sends her there things started spiraling out of control. then she started to hang out with the Greenies and they started to teach her how to shoot and gave her a gun.later they started to take her on ambushes and mark would not see her for weeks at a time.
a women goes to Vietnam named Mary Anne and at first she is nice.But over time she she starts to change she leaves at night without telling anyone and her boyfriend starts to think she is cheating on him with the greenies.her boyfriend moves to a different platoon and she goes crazy and runs off in the night.
ReplyDeletenice.
DeleteYou could be mor specific!
Delete#lame
A girl goes to Vietnam to visit her boyfriend. She starts to do things that the soldiers do. Fossie wants to send her back home but she doesn’t want to. Then she go’s missing and goes on ambushes and does things that some soldiers don’t do. She wanders off in the jungle on purpose and no one ever see’s her again.

ReplyDeleteI think the most important part in this story is when Mark Fossie brings Mary Ann to Vietnam. That is where he made his biggest mistake because when she got there she didn’t want to leave. I don’t understand why she wanted to stay in that awful place and why she joined the greenies and made herself look so bad. She is only 17 years old and she was very pretty and now is the complete opposite.
ReplyDeleteMary Anne’s symbolizes what the war stands for. She was eager to be in the war and curious about it to. Then she go out with Green berets in the Vietnam war. Her and the green berets would appear and disapper without anybody knowing.
