Son of Two Bloods Connection

Hello everyone, for this blog post I will be talking about the Son of Two Bloods by Vincent L. Mendoza. The Son of Two Bloods is about Vincent's life and how he was a half Mexican and half Creek Indian Because of his multicultural background he was questioning about himself for he didn't feel like he was fitting in either in  culture. Later on he would join the Marines during the Vietnam War. His military experiences would help develop Vincent to understand that there are people who are suffering more than he is, and by suffering I mean not knowing when a grenade will hit the battlefields or even in those in fret for those who are fighting. He also realizes he is the bridge between those two groups. Lastly he had to deal with his wife's death.

All that had happened to Vincent, would probably be really overwhelming, not just for him but to anyone, let it be you, the reader, or me, the blogger. So reading this book was really insightful to me as a human being, who like most, has somewhat of an ego. I'd recommend this book to pretty much middle school students or higher.

Now that I gave you an synopsis to the book and what I thought of it, let's get to the main point of this blog which is to take this book and connect it to society. The connection I made with society was with the wartime effects. Almost all the soldiers during the Vietnam War were excited about the war and were getting ready to kick some butt, but it was when the first shot was shot people had a different mindset. This article relates to Vincent cause he also was one of those people who was excited about the war and was ready for the action, but he was disappointed he didn't get it. The website for the article is https://web.stanford.edu/class/e297c/war_peace/media/hpsych.html.

For this post that is all I will be talking to you about look out for my next blog post. Until then, good bye.
