While reading Timothy Findley's novel, "The Wars" several questions have been dancing around at the back of my mind. The first thought is about what life must have been like during the war. During my life, the war in the Middle East took place, and although it was a serious conflict, it didn't require the same amount of sacrifice as the First World War. Robert had to go through an incredible amount of stress and hardship. His friends are killed, he lives in horrible conditions and almost gets killed many times. Even through all of it, Robert manages to hold onto his sanity, although he does struggle. I think that it is a testament to Robert's ability to survive, and to struggle on, even though it doesn't look like he can.
