The Resistent Canadians

       The book Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden is a different book then what i am used to reading the topics it covers from being into World War 1 and also natives having to go to residential schools and then fighting to stay alive in the woods on their own with very little food and game to hunt. I did not mind the book at all I’m very interested in the scenes where there is fighting and they go into depth about the war and the activities that took place and the different ways they used to fight each other. “When twenty or thirty minutes pass and i begin to think that Thompson is mad, I make out the sound of men sneaking about below. I can hear them whispering, can hear the step of boots all around where I’d slept this morning. Thompson gives the nod and we set and throw the bombs in at the same time. They explode in a series of concussions. Men Scream”(pg 75 Boyden). I Like this passage because it shows that Canadians in World War 1 and all wars did the unthinkable. We are known to do whatever it takes to get through anything and get the job done. Canadians stuck it through the worst and put their lives at risk so we are able to live ours. The book has really shown me what the war was like and what the canadians really had to go through and thats why im interested in the war scenes because the jobs and tasks they were made to do and put through just to fight and just to get through to the end so we can have our freedom.
