Story Analysis: The Vietnam War

The main setting is a tavern in Redding, Connecticut, in the New England Colonies.

The mother, Susannah Meeker, and the youngest brother, Tim Meeker, are alive throughout the book. Diseases such as cholera are mentioned, and this ends up killing the father, Life Meeker.

Movies are a fun and modern source for entertainment that often try to depict events that took place in real life. Many films based on real life events are often criticized for being inaccurate or altering much of the storyline.

Ha and Amela, lost a lot of their belongings that they cherished a lot because they were forced to leave their home because of war.
