  1. At the start, the setting is described as a nice one. There is an indigenous family living happily. This sets a good mood. When he is in the wagon with his uncle, a calm, and thoughtful mood ensues. When he gets to the school, the setting becomes foreboding and the mood becomes a tense and worried one. Then the setting becomes gray and oppressing and the mood is a pretty sad one with only a glimmer of hope. After school the mood changes to a hopeful, ambitious one and stays as such there on.

  5. he grows up on the reserve in till he is six then he goes to a school for "Indian people" as the white people called them , then after he went to basic training and leaned al of the basic skills, then he went to a code talking class to learn to be a code talker, and then the final class was preparing for war for two weeks. once he finished all his training he went to fight the Japanese at puruata island witch was full of swampy jungle and had a active volcano.
    the mood is happy at times sad and hopeful.
    he uses direct words with clean meaning so you know what is going on.
    "my combat pack was on my back, my rifle held ready. I jumped in feeling the warm water fill my boots."

  6. ben I'm petty sure there was no "no mans land" and trenches in WW2 and even if there was he was fighting on islands so there wouldn't be "no mans land"
