ReplyDeletevery discriptive
DeleteMary Anne symbolizes the brutality of war. She resembles the men that have been effected by war and had the worst drawn out of her. Mary starts as an innocent, but soon realizes what she had gotten into, which shows how soon an impact Vietnam has on you. She becomes part of the land. She adapts to the new world she is in. Through her story of war, she becomes a weapon herself, ready to strike when threatened.
ReplyDeletegood work very accurate.
DeleteGreat way of describing and explaining her.
Deletefossie brought his girlfriend to the camp where he was stationed so he could spend time with her. Getting her there was not easy but eventually she was there at the camp. Once she was there she quickly adapted to the military life. She learned how to tend to the wounded and how to fire a weapon and eventually moved on to more advanced things like survival and ambushes and raids, this was all learned when she snuck out with the Greenies on their missions. After a while of this she started to spend more and more time with them and participating in their practices until she left the camp and went out on her own into the mountains on the west.
ReplyDeleteVery well done
DeleteVery detailed, good job!
Deletei cant reply becuase nobody has posted anything.........
ReplyDeleteI feel that the most important events in the story are:
ReplyDelete-The connection between Mark Fossie and Mary Anne.
-How Mark gets Mary to Vietnam.
-Mary getting use to how things work in Vietnam.
-How Mary strays from Mark.
-Mary left mark and "became part of the land.
Good Job! Very well explained!
DeleteI think that Mary Anne symbolizes the "Bravery" of war. It shows how innocent she once was and how much she changed throughout the chapter. At first I don't think she is ready and she may be frightened by what she has seen happening to the guys. Mary Anne basically goes out on her own and realized everything, now she wants to be a part of war and she feels the need to be a part of everybody. Then she just goes out on her own and is basically ready to fight.
ReplyDeletei agree and very well written! :)
Deletei agree and very good

She wants to disappear. she wishes she was in the war so she could feel close feel close to death and do things that were dangerous and that other people wouldn't think about doing.
ReplyDeletethis aint 4 sentences!!! its a good post tho!
DeleteQ: Summarize this story picking out what you feel to be the most important events in it.
ReplyDeleteA: Mary Anne comes to Vietnam to be with Foosie. She then becomes and changes to a whole different person. The importance of this story is showing how war can change anybody. How they act and what they do during war.
when fossie had his girlfriend to the camp so he could spend just a little time with her, in the end she learned to treat the wounded solders that came in no matter the wound i thought it was cool how mary stayed and helped out and learned the so called military life she went to battle and fought with other solders
ReplyDeleteFossie brought his lady friend to veitnam and the guys thought it would be a bad idea to bring her. They told Fossie that she would end up goin in her own direction. The greenies too her in and she fell in love with the war. she felt that she actually knew who she was and it was her calling. Her and Fossie hadnt seen eachother an a while and he thought that she was whoring around with the guys. Fossie loomed for her and she was with the greenies and they parted way. Afyer that she dissapeared in the hills.

Mark Fossie desided to bring his girlfriend Mary Ann to the medical bay he was stationed at so they could be together. in order to get her ther he had to send her the money to get her to Bankok then from Bankok to Vietnam then htich a ride on the chopper heding for the camp.
ReplyDeleteThis Fossie brought his girlfriend to Vietnam. She starts changing after a bit of being there. She starts not wearing her normal clothes and not wearing make up. Then she starts going missing at night. The she goes missing for days. When she comes back she is with the greenies and then she is like one of them. So at the end she ends up leaving him and she is like not the same person.
ReplyDeleteShe symbolize how war can changes somebody, how even a little girl can change.
ReplyDeleteShe became a part of the forest, a part of Vietnam. She said that she found herself.
Mark Fossie had his girlfriend flown in from America to Vietnam. Her name was Mary Anne. She was innocent and gentle at first, but then began to warm up with her surroundings and wanted to help out. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Once she got caught up in the activity and got overwhelmed with the forest and the Greenies, became a victim of Satanic like Rituals and threatened to eat the land. Then she disappeared.
ReplyDeletei love this post X3 very detailed and the end is amazing
DeleteGreat post! its very detail! it describes this chapters very good.
DeleteIn this chapter, Mark Fossie brings his girlfriend over from the states. At first she is like a typical girl that wears pink and she also becomes a flirt. Next, she starts to tend to wounded soldiers and isn’t scared to get her hands dirty. She then stops personal hygiene and almost becomes one of them. Finally she starts to hang around the Greenies and even after Fossie becomes engaged to her, she goes off for days and finally “becomes the forest” and is never seen again.
ReplyDeleteMary Ann shows how war can change a person to how the vitamin the war can just take you in and she thought she was needed like Through her story of war, she becomes a weapon herself, ready to strike when threatened. And that is how
ReplyDeleteI think that Mary Anne symbolized the word "Bravery" of the war. It shows how innocent she once was and how much she changed through out the chapter. At first I don't think she is ready and she may be frightened by what she has seen happening to the guys. Mary Anne basically goes out on her own and realized everything, now she wants to be a part of war and she feels the need to be a part of everybody.
