Catherine's+Reflection+1

 This year in American Literature, we have not spent much time studying war and it's impact on how we as Americans see ourselves in the world, and how others around the world view us. The way that Americans see themselves is often dictated by the actions of our nation's involvement in the affairs of others. As a grade we have been learning about American history and each of the wars our nation has been involved in. What I found most fascinating throughout this study, however, is how each of these wars impacted the people at home, the workers, the mothers, and ultimately America's representation in the eyes of the rest of the world.
