    For the boy‚ war is something of excitement and playfulness.

The narrator mocks the boy’s sword‚ a symbol of war so poorly made that "his father would have hardly known it for what it was"(Bierce 1). The narrator

    written word inferior to the spoken’. I disagree with this idea and argue that the written word is superior to the spoken. There is a phrase that says that ’the pen is mightier than the sword’.
