Summary Of Bunker Diary '
Bunker Diary is a book that was created by Kevin Brookes. The book left be in a trance, wanting to know more then what happens on the written page. One of the most interesting things I learned through this book is that even though some people are born in higher or lower classes, but it doesn’t define who you are. Linus Weems, who is the son of a famous cartoonist, has gone through hardships, just like Fred who didn’t have financial stability. In the end, after all of them have suffered together, they share the same fate.
Life and death seemed to play a large role in the book. They fought to find a way out, to live their lives as they normally do. I think that we are all clocks and like the clock that the man upstairs had changed and configured,

    Dear diary, my mom just told me that the war between the allies (America, Britain, USSR, and France) and Germany and Italy had ended finally but the war between the allies and Japan hasn't really ended. I wish we all can get along, and not fight. I just hope I can forget all about this when my birthday comes.…

    Before analyzing the main characters of this story, I should state my former perception of death. Because I am a Christian, I have always known where I will end up. Therefore, the thought of death or dying never really made me afraid. I know that Heaven is my final resting place, so I have…

    The chaos in this book is when the ghost is haunting Herbie and Diane (81). The order happens after Herbie discovers why he is being haunted and can help the ghost move on with their lives (160). “…, walking slowly at first but unclenching and beginning to run as they get back to the main path” This sentence from the text shows how chaotic it was and how they were in a rush to get out of that situation as soon as possible. Another theme of this text is family. Family plays a strong role in this book as the narrator who is dead is the older brother of Herbie the boy that is being haunted. Also, Eamon Connelly who is haunting Herbie turns out to be his great grandfather that needs help from only a family member. This shows how strong the family bond is no matter if you are in the after life or not. The last theme I noticed at the end of this book is love and sacrifice. Herbie has so much love for a family member he has not even met yet that he sacrifices his own life by following him up a big hill to make sure his great grandfather can move on…

    The military life has not treated me well at all, and all of the propaganda about the Germans back home riled me up for a job that I would have never expected. The living conditions here are horrid, and every day I question how I am still living and have enough power left in my body to write this letter. Every day, my friends in my platoon die from either the awful conditions, or they are blown to fractions from enemy shrapnel. Besides the numerous dead bodies, there are large, repulsive rats that feed on the dead bodies of my friends. Since they are so numerous, they’ve gotten bold enough to start stealing our bread.…

    Some of the connections between this book and other mystery/crime books is the plot. In most fantasy books I've read, the story mainly focuses on the main character's life. The story usually starts of with the main character explaining the setting of the story. In the middle of the story, the main character and/or the supporting characters face a conflict. At the end of the book , the characters usually conquer the…

    A conflict that is faced by the father is the struggle to hold on to his humanity in a world where only few remains and the world feels like nothingness. The father, who is trying to ensure the safety and well-being of his son, is forced to do many immoral things, but even in a destroyed society where morals are never heard of, can still survive and flourish through the person. It can be first seen when McCarthy says, “The snow lay deep and gray. Already there was a fresh fall of ash on it. He struggled on a few more feet and then turned and looked back. The boy had fallen, He dropped the armload of blankets and the tarp and went back and picked him up. He was already shivering. He picked him up and held him. I’m sorry, he said. I’m sorry”(McCarthy 99). The father is already giving up on living in such a wretched world, but for the love of his son he must endure, struggle and solicitude for his son. Reveals that through the harsh world that is faced upon the father and the boy, they can still survive in hope of a propitious future. Another conflict that is shown in the book is between the savage cannibal and thieves that are against the father and son., it is stated that, “They’re going to kill those people, aren’t they? Yes. Why do they have to do that? I don’t know. Are they going to eat them? I don’t know. They’re going to eat them, aren’t they? Yes. And we couldn’t help them because then they’d eat us too. Yes. And that’s why we couldn’t help them. Yes. Okay” (McCarthy 127). Having to live in a world full of miscreant savages; the father and boy find a place where they believe to have food and supplies for their journey, but instead found themselves with near-death people. The standards of these abhorrent people that are left in the society is unbelievably low, considering that they will devour anything in their presence. This quote…

    Death seemed to be the main subject in this book. “Johnson fired his gun three times more. . . They ceased struggling. There was a terrible silence.” (Bradbury, 137). In every single story, someone always seemed to die. Whether it was from hatred, natural causes, rocket crashes, or murder, death was always present. I know death has to happen, but this book took death to the extreme and cannot say that I enjoyed reading about…

    The main group of characters that are changing in the book are humans or forms of humans. The humans want to become this god like figure and they can only do that through the changes in the characters. One person states "The main theme, simply put, will be human evolution. This may sound innocuous to many readers, but this actually cloaks a deeper, darker agenda – an occult agenda where man “evolves” to become God. Not, mind you, in any kind of Christian sense of redemption from death and participation in…

    Consider the final resolution of the novel. Is the ending a fairy tale one (recall that fairy tales end with "and they lived happily ever after")? How does the novel expand upon and complicate this ending? Does the ending play up the romance, or the social satire? What is the final message, which the novel leaves us with?…

    Before we move on to the story of the novel, we must first remind ourselves of the postmodern novel and what constitutes a postmodern literature. Postmodern literature, as postmodernism as a whole, is very hard to define for there are no standards for it nor are there any founding fathers, writers who set the standards for it. We could say that postmodern literature is a continuation of the experimantation started by the modernist writers and authors and their usage of fragmentation, paradox, questionable authors, etc and it is also a reaction against the enlighment ideas set by modernist literature. As it was mentioned, postmodern literature is very hard to define and many even say that is no longer exists, also hard to determine. However, many authors and literary critics agree on common themes that…

    As you can see, the role of free will plays a significant part into how this novel plays out. These dystopic elements really made a noticeable difference in how the characters developed throughout the novel.
