Beautifully said. I can as well add that, no matter the level of isolation, someone will accept you the way you are. Someone will value u the way you are. It’s a beautiful bookPauline Parnell wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 04:16 Other themes that are prevalent in "My Enemy in Vietnam" are friendship and acceptance. Clearly, the Vietnamese understood that there was some commonality between them and a black soldier such as being disliked and oppressed by others. They demonstrated that by calling him 'soul brother'.

A good point too. Companionship and living beyond the societal tag. Although it takes a lot of strength to live beyond this tag, but companionship makes it easier.

Yes, and it widened his scope. Opened the protagonist and to possibilities and thought the reader ways of living beyond what the society offers.Cristina M wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 13:57 Being black, fighting in a war that you don't belong to, learning the language of the locals because that seems natural to him, all these make the main character to be a real hero.

Yes Joan Racism remains a goal we all need to be committed to. We need to ensure a free and friendly world for our unborn children. Through writing and pointing out dangers of racism, I think we are taking a positive step to bringing to racism to checkAdaeze Joan wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 14:23 What I dislike reading about in a book most times is racism,.which was inevitable during the Vietnam war. The theme I liked best was that of friendship.

Exactly, and this is the power of the story. The author presented the Vietnamese war in a different light. Far beyond the piles of dead body to other intricacies that made the war5_tourmaline wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 16:28 There is companionship and friendship. Soldiers from different sides shared some good moments. Although, the Vietnamese war was brutal. The moments of solidarity and empathy should not be forgotten.
