A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle

Significance- I chose to read this book because I am reading the series and I wanted to know what happened next. And I also read it because this book also has alot of good things in it. Like it talks about issues like war and it says that it is wrong in a very different way. It is not as direct as other books are about it. You have to pay attention to what your reading like it to find out what it really is about. The real-world situation using these concepts is that it has a character in it who went to war and suffered after he was injured with moving past the fact that he was killing other people and he saw death of course and didn't know what he was facing when he first joined the army.
Perspective- The author is clearly against the issue she is writing about. She wrote about how everyone is brothers and sisters in God's eyes and that killing them and fighting them is not going to fix any problem that you have. It just makes the world worse and a more corrupt place. If the reader of this book did not want to read the book then you probably wouldn't get the same thing out of it as someone who really did want to read the book. Alot of the things that happened you had to really concentrate on and remember things from like the first chapter.
Evidence- The argument that the author is trying to make is that you should not fight or think that violence is the only thing to solve problems. All it, is is saying, "How about we go out and start bombing and killing people and see how long it takes for them to give up. Then all of our problems will be fixed." There is never going to be a time when there is absolutely nothing wrong and every single person in the world is happy. It just won't happen because humans aren't perfect. And this is not my opinion this is a fact because everyone knows that nothing is perfect and even if this was an opinion then I could support it using other facts.
Connection- This connects to the real-world because all of this is happening in the real-world. This has always been going on and is probably not going to stop in the future. This can connect to someone else's life like my Great Great Uncle Simon who is still alive but actually fought in a war. He is lucky to still be alive because alot of people die in wars. I don't even thing he was badly injured. I thing he was just shot. But he isn't missing any fingers or toes or limbs. This can also connect to a friend of mine. Her father left to go fight in the war in Iraq and she is going through a hard time.
Supposition- If people never ever thought of war or fighting to be the 'answer' to problems then I think that the world would be alot more peaceful. People wouldn't have lost their mom or dad or son or daughter or aunt or uncle or cousin or Grandpa r Grandma or any family member or friend.
