War is a powerful story that shows the effects of war on the family members of those who have gone to fight. The story takes place on a train. One couple gets on the train and the wife is grieving because her son is going to war. While others on the train are revealing their upsetting feelings about war one angry man steps in and interjects. The angry man concludes that war is a privilege and that the sons are dying happy from being in the war. The angry man keeps his true feelings about war to himself until the end of the story. When a lady asks him if his son is really dead he finally came to the realization that his son is really gone forever. After realizing this he finally breaks barriers with his inner self and starts to cry and let out his true emotions. This action was ironic to those on the train because the man was being hard then out of no where he started to come to terms with what was going on. This technique is called irony. But overall I think this story was very heart warming. I never would have expected the guy to have a change of heart and it really shows that War affects everyone.
