Third Assignment

1. Yes, I believe my book is original but it dose have common elements from other books that center around world war 2. Specifically aspects of battle that are talked about and deaths of friends. An example of this is in flags of our fathers some of the same things are talked about.

2. The way the story is being told makes it original. It is told in bits and pieces without revealing much which leaves me as the reader wanting more. This is something ive never had when reading other books.

3. I think a writer can make an original story in todays world but with the many stories of the past it is more than likely that it will have similar details to a past story.

Second Assignment

3.I see dust, debris as well as smoke. i see all of this becuase im recalling the events of a bombing i was connected to in the past.
