Journal Two From Kendell Miller

Hello, my name is Kendell Miller I'm 18 years old. I was born and raised in Marion until 7th grade which is when I moved to a very small town just outside of Bucyrus. I went to a small high school called Wynford it was what you would call a country school. At wynford I  was very involved in the agriculture program. Being involved in this type of program I learned a lot about animals and agriculture. This lead me to chose a major that is similar to what I was involved in. My major is a branch off of Environmental Science, its called Forestry Fisheries and Wildlife. I am specifically interested in the wildlife aspect of that major which makes me a Wildlife Science major. After college I will most likely attend graduate school and go on to do something maybe in zoology or a wildlife researcher. I'm not completely sure of what I want to do after graduate school I only know I want to do something with animals. My fun fact is that all of my pets are named after Muppet characters.

A Long Way Home really surprised me because when I think of war I don't imagine how it began I typically imagine the war when it is well underway. The theme that is most obvious is war. This book shows how one day everything was fine and the next people are dying and the war is happening. Its a crazy thought to me that one second these people are living their lives doing the things they do everyday and then the next most of them are dead. This first chapter alone really shows what its like to be in a country plagued by war.

  1. I agree with your theme completely. Its crazy how one minute they left town to got to a harmless talent show and the next everyone they had know prior is dead. The worst and most sad part is that they hadn't told their parents where they had gone and one of their last fears may have been that they were there in the city with them and presumably dead.

  3. That Makes sense the theme is war giving the fact that people are dying, innocent people are dying.

  4. I also find it crazy that they left when everything was fine only to find out that they cannot go home because of the war. It's so sad that they don't know if their parent are even alive or not.
