Entry #16

One character who I really can't stand is Azar. I don't remember him being mentioned much in the beginning of the book, but towards the end he is mentioned much more. I can't stand him.

He's one of those guys that gets through tough times by making jokes. Sure, that works for some people, but for some take it a little too far. He crosses the line for me almost every time he talks.

On pages 129-130, he makes fun of the girl dancing while her village and family burns around her. I figure she is in some kind of shock and dancing makes it all go away, even just for a second. He stands there and makes fun of her. Seriously, you're becoming a killing machine and you laugh at people's pain? Wow. I'm not a fan of you Azar.

I think he's a very immature boy who was pushed into the war. When Kiowa dies in the poop field, he is joking the entire time and I just want to tell him to SHUT UP!

"A classic case," Azar was saying. "Biting the dirt, so to speak, that tells the story." [page 158].

The whole time I was reading the search for Kiowa, I wanted to smack Azar. Yeah, sure, it's ironic that Kiowa dies in a poop field, but I'm pretty sure that everyone else already noticed. Stop making it more obvious.

On a SFS related note, why does everything [even my Lit book] relate back to poop!?

:]
