~ Koller, Larry. “The Complete book of guns.” Novel. 1954
Koller’s novel offers a variety of information on all types of guns created. The limitation of this book is that it is only on the weapons made before 1954. All the information in the book discusses which type of gun performs what task best. The information tells exactly what gun should be used in a certain situation of war, which is important to my project because the story is about what soldiers are carrying. This will help me understand why they have a certain gun in possession.
~ Treherne, J. E. “The strange history of Bonnie and Clyde.” Bibliography. 1984
Treherne goes into depth the lives of Bonnie and Clyde. The lived bad lives of crime, and caused many problems for the general public. The reason it is important to understand this that it is referenced in the story. Thus, a connection could be made between the story and why it is such an important memory. It will help in understanding why soldiers think of the past the way they do.
~ Chan, Sucheng. “The Vietnamese American 1.5 generation : stories of war, revolution, flight, and new beginnings.” Bibliography. 2006
This novel written by Chan explores the details between American and Vietnamese war. This is significant to my paper because a little Vietnamese boy is killed in the story, and his thumb being carried is given a lot of detail. By reading this it could be possible to piece together where the soldier is at from all the gory information on what was occurring in Vietnam. In addition, specific tactics that were used in war are given in this novel, which will explain certain moves done in the story by the soldier.
