    O’Brien uses the significance of gender to relay the idea that Mary Anne is an unusual example of innocence that is lost at war because unlike other soldiers, she is a woman. Although she is only present for one chapter, questions and thoughts still puzzle the reader…What happened to Mary Anne Bell? She arrived in her white culottes and pink sweater. The irony that is present here adds to the drama of a woman coming to Vietnam, during the war, a time of sadness and fighting; where no woman from the city should be present. Tim O’Brien adds a fascination with Mary Anne Bell that is unable to be grasped fully; a fascination in which is significant when discussing change and the impact of war. Typically, soldiers who come back from war under experience a similar…

    | Anne says this in frustration after Mrs. Van Daan yells at her for spilling milk on her coat. This expresses another Anne because it suggests that Anne sees herself changing, that she envisions a different self. I feel that Anne says this because to her, everybody in the Annex shows more favoritism to Margot then her, especially her mother. On the outside it seems Anne can’t always control her temper, as she strives to be more like Margot, who is patient and calm. On the inside, she is jealous of Margot, wanting to have more of an attitude like hers, and convey a better personality to others, contrary to what she’s done. Also Anne is younger, so it is understandable that she'd look up to an older sibling. I can relate to this because many times in our family, I feel as if my parents favor my older sibling over me. I have the same feelings as expressed in this quote, as it is hard to be more mature than somebody older. This quotation suggests change in Anne, as she herself wants to change, and be more socially civil rather than her normal self. Though it conveys negativity on Anne’s character, as she is losing her temper, it also shows maturity, as she is maturing. This quote shows that she is maturing because she now realizes her impact on others, and wants to be more like Margot, who is quite a role model to her. Some questions that occurred were: * Will Anne keep maturing as she is already? *…
