LOG # 5. If you were to put this story into your own life, in the area where you live, around the people and friends that you know, how would the story have to change? How would the people change? Would the setting have to change? Why would these changes have to take place?

The story would have to change, first and foremost, to a more current time period. One way that could be done would be to center the story around me and my friends and family preparing for our departure to Iraq or Afghanistan. The people wouldn't have to change in terms of what the characters are going through. Even though it is very wordy and spoken differently than the way older men and younger men would speak to each other currently, the sentiment would still be the same.

The brotherhood and camaraderie between the fellow soldiers would still be felt the same way. The changes would merely have to take place in the way in which those feelings were expressed.
