From what I have read since the last blog post of mine, much has happened in the story. The main character, Kak, and his squad fly in the bomber plane, known as "B For Buster" for the first time on a night bombing raid. Kak thinks that he has already seen and done much more with his life than his abusive, alcoholic father ever did. With such amusement, Kak is amazed with the Lofty, the pilot, and his skill with flying the plane. The last part of what I read was when Kak looks up on the ceiling and finds the words to a poem written in pencil. As he reads the poem, he wonders what happened to the person before him that was sitting in the same spot he was. "What if he vanished?"
Question 4: What type of language does the author use?
The author is writing as if the main character has had a scarring past, and doesn't want anyone to find out. After the first chapter, the writing starts to show that the main character feels as he has accomplished more than he thought he would.
Question 1: What is different from your own culture?
The book is set in the 1940's, during World War II, and the main character's squad is Canadian, so culture is different mostly because of the time period.
