The Sand Storm
After reading the book, “The Sand Storm” by Sean Huze, all sorts of different emotions were going through my head. The book was very powerful and an emotion piece about the war in Iraq. The Sand Storm was a very detailed story that informed the audience about the on-going war. A lot of people aren’t aware of the current situations going on over in Iraq, while The Sand Storm is able to share the information about the war. It’s an incredible and touching story told in the eyes of a soldier. The things the soldiers have to go through are unbearable. The massacres are the most upsetting subject to read about through the book. They don’t have the choice to choose who they can kill obviously, but it’s an emotional setting for them to be doing what they are trained to do. I couldn’t imagine the events that the soldiers have to go through in Iraq. I personally think this book acted out into a play would be a very touching matter, but also an amazing play in general. Sean Huze did an overall amazing job on writing this book.
