For me the main reason I read a lot of fiction is to get away from everything. For me a story needs to have conflict and be entertaining. For others they don’t want that in their stories they want it where nothing bad happens.   One article that spoke the most to me was called “Soldier spends time telling military stories” by Billington Jeff. In his story he talks about a Sgt. 1st Class Bryan Beach and that his family was the center of him joining the military. For soldiers not only are there lives tied to the military but so are their families and every one close to them.  He goes into talking about where he has been and some of the things he had to do. One of the hardest things he has had to do was wright letters home to fallen soldiers family’s telling them that their loved one has fallen.  With these types of story there is always conflict ranging from what to do in an fire fight, to do I want to go on leave and leave my soldiers or not go and see my family. These are things that soldiers live with every day and some of it might make great stories while others may not it’s just up to the reader to decided.  This story relates to both of my emphases by talking about the military and day to day and the history part by showing what this soldier used to do years ago.
