1. Write a sentence that summarizes the story’s overall message, and provide three direct quotes from the story that best illustrate this message.
“To take the part that her whole soul willed him to take, for the completion of her ideal of him”
"I shall always love you, and therefore I shall never
marry any one else. But the man I marry must love
his country first of all”
“I should like to kill a man; but now I
shouldn't care; and the smokeless powder lets you
see the man drop that you kill. It's all for the country”
2. What tactics does Editha use to make George believe as she does about the war?
She uses a lot of religion and patriotism to get him to want to go to war. Because she compares this to being God’s war and God wants him to fight he gives in and then wants to go to war. She also takes him to the rally and he sees all the good stuff like brotherhood and being a captain that war could bring him. She also says a lot of times that if you love your country you will go to war and he loves his country so that convinces him more to go to war.
