Chapter 25-29

Chapters 25-29

As Ned keeps fighting more wars his experience starts to grow more and more. He gets to fight all sort of different armies installed in Japan, this makes him scared that the Japanese might end up doing very aggressive making a move that might determine the death of many of his friends and even himself. A war that he will clearly remember was Okinawa was his almost last battle he was again in an island that was very dangerous but he knew how to defend himself by now so he was not scared of that anymore he was scared more that this was were many Japanese important soldiers where installated. The war was won by a bombing Japan after ignoring that Japan wrote a letter that would bring peace to both nations but America wanted to win. After the bombing Ned retired from the military and lived a life with his wive were he used to live when he was little.

'' Iwo Jima was the key.''( Ch 27 , Paragraph 1 ) This is a quote said by Ned that explains some of the strategies of America . This is how all the soldiers that were in the war taught and reflected. I belief this quote represents what all soldiers are like very serious always concentrated and never given up on thinking new strategies that will make them help their nation. I would love to speak and talk to a real soldier and see how they are like and really ask them personal questions of how is it really out there or are they all just jokes and fun . I would love to meet a soldier one day.

This was a very interesting book that I would really recommend specially if you are researching about the World War 2 and how each country moved and attacked certain strategies. This book I would give it a 8/10 I believe this because it was interesting at some points but it also some actions become very repetitive as the book advances. Is a great book to research and to know how did it feel to be and indigenous and been not be treated respectfully and how you had to earn by your actions that respect. This book was really interesting and very factual.

Chapters 19-24

Ch 19-24

Chester( Neds new name after war) is getting married after dropping out of the military he goes back to Kansas University to finish his career and fells in love with a girl named Ethel, he buys a house and before you now it he is engaged preparing for a wedding, its 1952. Chester retires and starts working in the Veterans Hospital as a doctor and lives with some Navajo friends and their wives, Ethel is pregnant with a first child this first child dies after a couple of months Ethel is pregnant and looses her child again so her and Chester decide to adopt her niece, Thya. Navajo code went on for 23 more years as a secret code for the American Navy. In 2001 Chester is recognized for his hard work and given a gold medal from the president, George Bush. Chester is a military that the U.S. must be thankful for having.

"I think about how, in my life, cultures have collided—the quiet of Navajo land giving way to military training, the strict order of military training exploding into the chaos of battle." (23.4)A quote sed by Chester how he had liven a great live and how much he had experienced. His telling this to his Grandsons how war and the different cultures he visited affected what he learned. I belief that war is a very hard place to be at and how Chester had moved on is a very talented skill.
Military man are very respected for what they do its a very brave profession.

In the next chapters I belief that the author might drift to write about Chester future and many accomplishments he had. I think this because the author is already going that direction when writing so its very predictible he will still go that way. Chester live and his sons life it can even talk about his grandsons life and how he might think war affected his grandpa. This was a very good book cannot wait to read the end. 

Chapters 13-18

Chapters 13-18

Ned Is going to Hawaii to battle in the U.S marines he goes there as a code talker. He starts its journey and he is in charge to look out for enemy airplanes to avoid bombers. He imidiatley starts batteling Japanese during that journey he understands and studies the Japanese soldiers rules one of wich had to do with their lifes. War lasts about 3 months in his island but its finally over it was the first time he faught so he was very stressed about going home and telling his parents. At the end of war he is choosen to improve his position to be the 3rd squad of the marines he takes it but the good thing is that he dosent go by himself he goes with his friends Georgia boy and many more. He is translated to another island in Asia called Guam at that time there he learns many new word he had to use from other code talkers. He finnaly finds out that Georgia Boy was a soildier sent to protect him, In Bouganville another island where he was starting another war with Japanese he was forced to take pills from Malaria but he did not want them so commanders had to open his mouth and force him.



"Suddenly two United States soldiers waylaid us. "Don't move, Japs," one of them said. "Why are you wearing United States Marine uniforms?" (16.14-15) This quote is in chapter 16 when one of the navy headquater military confuses Chester a military solider with japanese. This shows that the U.S. military was very worried that they might have some spies serving with the army. A famous war quote by Jack Weinberg a military " in war you cannot trust anyone'' . They were having trouble in that time because they were under war. Ned was very excited too.


 

In the next few chapters I believe that many people like Georgia Boy and Chester might be discovered of a terrible secret. I say this because it seems that something is going to happened to them because they are being mentioned too much during the book. Also I belief Japanese will discover the secret language that the navy is using because they are starting to give hints of the language being used by Japanese. I think next chapters will be great.

Code Talker Chapter 7 - 12

Chapter 7- 12


 Kii Yahzi is getting much more excited and organized in boarding school he evens have a dream to become a soldier for the U.S. A Marine recruiter comes to the boarding school Kii Yazhi would love to be recruited but he is only 15 and you had to be 17 years old to even participate but he wants it so much that next time he will make  his parents lie to say he has the right age. After 1 years another Marine recruiter came he participated in the program and enters, his family starts the ceremony of protection and blessing a home town priest does the honour . His program only included Navajo men he did not understand that until they got to the marine boarding school he was recruited to become the first group of Navajos that develop a new code for the american army like morse code. This program was because Japanese had know all american secret languages so the american army could not send any more messages. Kii Yazhi will be a great marine.


"But there was a problem. They were only accepting men between the ages of seventeen and thirty-two. I was still only fifteen years old" (Chapter 7, p. 43). This is a quote said by Kii Yazhi about how marines were recruiting people from his boarding school and how he was not the right age and how desperate he was. Kii Yazhii was a young man full of courage you could see because he will have to be a part of the marines and U.S. army that can be one of the most dangerous jobs because it can cost you your life but he wanted it. He will be competing for a spot with people much older than him and wanted to win them. Kii Yahzi a Navajo man that was very special not like other people. 


This book has been full of surprises so the next prediction is not a very accurate one. Kii Yazhi will become a code talker to different areas of the war he will be in charge of the messages and some messages will have decisions of death or live between people and he will suffer a lot. Finally he will break down he will tell the code to Japanese because is a country he really likes.

Chapters 1-6

 Code Talker chapter 1-6

 
   A boy that a very young age is send to boarding school to become a solider for the U.S. army. This boy wasn't like every boy Kii Yahzi is a Navajo boy, Navajo is a tribe from the U.S. , he goes to boarding school and meets a lot of other Navajos but when he gets their Navajo language is prohibited to talk. He was very confused about what white man talked about but he was also interested in learning how white man interact. After many weeks he had to do certain rules of the boarding school one of those was to cut of his hair, his hair was something very sacred in his tribe of Navajo he saw how many Navajos were very worried about their hair. The boarding school starts to apply many rules some kids where changed their names because military did not like how complicated their name were in Navajo Kii Yahzi name change to Ned Begay and was given a military uniform that he had to use every day. As the weeks go by Ned is learning many English he can speak english fluent and now had a problem with the teachers every time he spoke navajo they would stick soap in their mouth, at that time america was battling Japan so in his history he was studying a lot about Japanese people, their culture and how was the country that was a theme that Ned was very interested in.


"Our whole world had changed. What was going to happen now?" (Chapter 6, p. 37). This quote is said by Ned when he realized how different was boarding school that his normal shelter. It refers that everything he had learn in his tribe from many familiars and many friends was now taken away from them and now they lived like white man and Ned was not used to do that. Before Ned came to boarding school his tribe would laugh about white merchants because they did not speak Navajo fluently so they could rip of many white merchants and now Ned had become friends with those people. Ned's whole world was changing specially espiritually because he could no do many scared holidays. 


I belief that Ned will get used to the live that he is experiencing in boarding school. He will become great student and finally he will become a military man, his acomplishments will amaze his parents and his tribe. He will also star to develop a new system of communication because the title says something about codes. Ned will make Navajos proud
