At the middle the conflict arrives and its when Lt T Baker goes MIA. Later on Mrs. Baker receives a telegraph from Lt T Baker that he has been rescued, and comes home at the end of the book. SUMMARY OF PLOT

LLife isn’t the breath you take, just the moments that take your breath away. TText Evidence 1: “DOWNED HELICOPTER TRANSPORT STOP KHESANH STOP LT T BAKER MISSING IN ACTION STOP” page# 155 TText Evidence 2: “SWEET EYES STOP OUT OOF JUNGLE STOP OK STOP HOME IN TIME FOR STRAWBERRIES STOP LOVE TY STOP” page# 236 TText Evidence 3:, and I could hardly hold the thorny stem that Meryl Lee handed to me. But I sure could feel it when she leaned close to me and… THEME

 The point of view of The Wednesday Wars is first person. If it was third person omniscient we would know what everyone was thinking or just the events. POINT OF VIEW

The rose symbolizes the love that Holling and Meryl Lee have. The thorns represent the action that take place during the book. SYMBOLISM Mothers Day Clipart by Mothers Day Central

 I would recommend The Wednesday Wars to people that like to read things that are in the past and to people that just love to read. The book was worth reading because I thought it was addictive and the cliffhangers or the parts that Holling doesn’t tell you is really good. RECOMMENDATION
