Sensational quotes, but give us an idea of the matter-of-factness that the soldier's everyday is greeted with.
"It rained again today. Yesterday our artillery on the beach gave the japs an awful pounding."
"There is a very strong odour from the beach. It smells like burning flesh."
"reading a letter by the glare of the far-off flames."
In contrast, the everyday decisions of a homeschool student appears somewhat frivolous in comparison:
"Home students decide what time they get up at."
"some get dressed, some don't!"
For this project, my preliminary interest lies in contrasting experiences of the Everyday.
