The war was finally over. For months and years, battles had raged across our kingdom. They had ravaged the land, destroying homes and villages. People went hungry as fires devoured any crops that the enemy might be able to access. Fires still burned all across the kingdom, smouldering, but not yet extinguished. Some days, it seemed the sky itself was afire. People had to run from their homes, men hurried to join the fighting, and families were broken apart. Some had thought that the war would never end.

¨In the morning he would wake up groaning like the demon in a Kabuki drama; he would vomit and then start sipping again. He terrified us all, lurching around the tiny room, cursing in Japanese and swinging his bottles wildly,¨ (Houston 50-51). This is a quote from the book Farewell to Manzanar.

Here he and the other soldiers walk past the body lying on the ground, and, with striking clarity, observes the dead man's shoes, feet, and beard. He is startled by this and cannot help but let his mind wander on the rough reality of death.

This one soldier has died and is only decaying. Henry thinks that he may be in the same position one day. At this point
