Effects of war.
The war has traumatizing effects on Xavier. He has lost a leg and has now became addicted to morphine. His aunty was believed to be dead and Xavier has come home to die. War is an awful experience, seeing people die next to you and killing people because you're told to. These days war is not as up close and personal, back then war was up close in the trenches and you saw your enemy getting killed just a few meters in front of you. Watching someone get shot or blown to pieces scares you for life and will never be able to let that go. Then comes life long injury Such as losing a limb. Xavier has lost a leg and now is unable to walk without a crutch and is no longer able to do the stuff he used to do before the war. Morphine was used to numb the pain and Xavier became addicted. He only has a little bit of morphine left, just enough to last him 3 days. Once it is gone he will most likely die. War is an awful place with a lot of long lasting effects.

I liked your post I agree with how the war changes you.Your life changes because of the lose of people you know and the tramas you experience.I think hs22 that if you maybe add a quote then we can kind of experience the pain and experiences he goes through the war and also know how he is dealing with the loss of his leg.
ReplyDeleteYes War does change people in many many ways not only mental. Takes a lot out of people as well like they can lose their mind and even body parts. War definitely has effects on everything from people to the land.
