preview

February 12, 2008

This is a preview to one of my realistic fiction books. I want you guys to give me your opinion. This is the rough draft, not the final. My writers name is Jon Heiden, so if you see a book by someone with this name, you know it is my work. Just so you kno

Jon Heiden

It had been a bad time. It was a time of war. The solders were helping the people, or so they said. they caused pain instead of relief, suffering instead of happiness, and fear instead of hope. They were always with their guns, in their tanks, always with an emotionless glare... They destroyed the synagogue and replaced the windows of the church from Jesus to a solder in full gear with an ak-47. They have occupied our city for 23 years. All the children were born into this, and they still know what the soldiers are doing is wrong. They do more than the adults to try and resist the armies violence. They know someday they will probably have to fight someday, so they prepare themselves for it and disguise it as harmless playing. They find a way on the rooftops and jump from roof to roof, not caring about the risk they are taking, they have have serious duels with wooden paddles, fighting as if for their lives, and because they see it in the very army they so wish to defeat, they Have ranks, the higher up you are, the more power there is under your control. They were deprived of their childhood, forced to mature earlier than humanly acceptable. Once, they came together and made a wall in front of them while they were on a road. The general told one man to start shooting them, and when he step forward to do so, the one he pointed at fell down, pulling the ones next to him down, and it looked like a wave on either side. After they all fell down, they used the initial shock for a successful escape. This is one of the more touching of their actions, and one of the most effective. Another thing they did was fight each other with excessive violence. Eventually one of the solders came and started bossing them around, and physically harmed one of them, and right after that they all jumped on him and started to beat on him. They apparently did a good job, because none of us have seen him since.

      Don't believe what others tell you, don't believe in what you see, believe in what you know is true

      I hope you find great success and joy in your writing. Please keep in mind that you must register your works with the Library of Congress. It will take 6 to 7 months after filing to receive your registration number. You can immediately begin to show your work after you file even though the process takes several months. Even if you have not completely finished you work...you should still file because one can always add to the original registration number. The cost is around forty dollars. This will ensure the safeguard of your creations of literature.

      I thoroughly enjoy you style of writing. The concept or belief of Jesus does come into play with the horrific subject matter of war and you manage to brilliantly summarize that in just one sentence. Soldiers must adapt to the many inner conflicts that arise from war and often become machines of destruction. War is a path that is meaningless to children since we cannot control it and as children are destined to endure its devastation. You do however propose that children can and will take control of the war they find themselves born in.
      I also love sci-fi!

      sorry about the difficulty to read it earlier, I didn't check to see if it had worked. But I fixed it, and you wouldn't be able to tell there was a problem with it.
