Job # 3 - Literature Connections
This is a story about something that happened during war. My sister is a Marine that went three times to Afghanistan. I talked to her about this story. Farquhar was concerned about his family. My sister said when you realize you may never see your family again you feel a deep longing for them. She also said in dangerous situations your senses are on super alert. Farquhar seemed to notice everything as he waited to die. The Union soldiers seemed so relaxed when they were getting ready to hang Farquhar. She said after being attacked by the enemy and seeing yo ur friends and comrades injured or killed, it's not so difficult to watch someone die, even if he is a civilian if he is working against you. War in the past or today is always scary. I never want to live through war. I'm glad I talked to my sister about this.
