B
One of the best ways to understand war comes from studying letters written by soldiers on
the battlefront.During the participation in World War II,some soldiers fought across Europe,
Africa and Asia.Many soldiers wrote moving letters home about their experiences.The
following accounts tell the stories of soldiers who fought around the world and experienced the
terror of wars.
Edgar Shepard wrote to the parents of Russell Whittlesey,who saved his life on
Guadalcanal,an island in the South Pacific."Russ and I went through several battles together,
never leaving each other's side.I was hit and dropped to the ground.With Russ's assistance,I
could move a bit.Then we met a group of Japanese soldiers.Russ stood over me with a knife in
hand while three guys charged him with bayonets().He managed to kill the first two,but
he was attacked by the third one in the back.He lay down beside me and said,Well,Shep,
I guess this is where we came in.Then he went to sleep.
Frank J Conwell,34 years old,was attracted by the beauty of the Ardennes Forest in
Belgium,where so many soldiers died in the Battle of the Bulge..He wrote to his aunt and
uncle on February 6,1945."There's a lot of snow on the Western Front these days,and the
country looks like a Christmas card.But the snowmen are German soldiers.The snowballs are
bombs.And when you're wet and cold there's no place to go,nothing to look forward to,
nothing but snow.”
Lawrence Leonard,was stationed in Japan after the war.On November 3,1945,he wrote
to a friend back home."Here are greetings from downtown Kure.But it really isn't 'downtown'
because there just isn't a town.All that is left of Kure is a pile of ashes and burned steel..."
24.What does the author intend to do by sharing the letters

The average adults sleep almost two hours less than their great grandparents did.The
resulting tiredness has been linked to many diseases.Consumption of alcohol and caffeine are
partly to blame,as is exposure to phone and computer screens.Ridiculously,people are
turning to some of those same devices for help.
