Kayla Williams’‚ Love My Rifle More Than You‚ is unlike any war memoir I have ever heard of or read. Williams was part of the 15% of female soldiers in the U.S. Army. She shares her experiences in the war in Iraq in a courageous way. Everything she says in the memoir is straightforward. She does not hesitate to say anything about what it was like to be a female in the war. The memoir was not only written to inform society of what life was like being a female in the war‚ but it was also written to

the Prophet. The book is associated with the other five Wolves of the Beyond books Lone Wolf‚ Shadow Wolf‚ Watch Wolf‚ Spirit Wolf‚ and Star Wolf. I would give the book a 2 because I like the Wolves of the Beyond books. They explain how the wolves survive and how they hunt their prey. The book shows how they grow up and learn to hunt and communicate with the others. I also like how the author makes it feel like something is going to happen like a fight scene. The book also continues the story

Thus‚ though Haley actually did the writing‚ it is reasonable to consider the work an autobiography. The work is one of the most important nonfiction books of the twentieth century‚ as it offers valuable insight into the mind of a key figure on a core issue of twentieth-century America. In 1965‚ a New York reviewer wrote of Malcolm X‚ “No man has better expressed his people’s trapped anguish.” The autobiography

usefulness of this text for those who wish to teach English but are not native speakers. The introduction to the text says that this text will be used to "acquaint [the reader] with the English words that are most frequently used".

On the bright side‚ the author draws attention to "a‚ the‚ of‚ for‚ and" and the difficulties that this may bring for an language learner. I am very appreciative of
