Post #2: Anti-Glacier Book

Chapter 1

"You know what I say to people when I hear they're writing anti-war books?"   "No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?"   "I say 'Why don't you write an anti-glacier book instead?'" (page 3)

This dialogue stuck out to me because it puts emphasis on the permanent existence of war.  Just as glaciers will always be around, war will always be in our society.  No matter what people say, or however many movies and books come out and depict the horrific violence of war, it will always be here.  Just as the quote says, writing an anti-war book would be just as effective as writing an anti-glacier book.  Even though many people disapprove of war and write about it, war will never go away.  It will always remain a permanent fixture, just like glaciers.
