IS THIS AN ADEQUATE EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO JOHN WADE?

John Wade left America a human being, yet came back a human killer. His months in Vietnam were filled with bloodshed and human atrocity, and from this, no man could feasibly return the same person. Yet beneath what John endured throughout the war, he suffered many unkindness' and tragedies that shaped him into adulthood. It was not only the war that made John Wade, but it was John Wade's existence; his whole life that made him who he was.

John Wade craved love, admiration and affection. All his life, all he wanted was to be loved, and his father's constant taunting hurt him immensely. In going to the war, John fulfilled his dream to become a figure who was both admired and respected. He was not a strong, macho man, who thrived upon violence and bloodshed, yet he was young and ambitious. Wade saw the war as a way of gaining 'hero' status in order to reach his lifelong ambitions of reaching the U.S Senate. When the revelations about his acts in the war were made, John Wade lost everything that he had fought so hard to build for himself.

John Wade loved magic. He had been practicing his tricks since he was a young boy, and magic had a major role in his development. Magic, as well as the mirror, allowed John to create an illusion, and hide himself from the reality of life. John continued on with his hobby, and when he served in Vietnam, he took on the pseudonym; the role of the Sorcerer. By creating a false sense of hope for the men in Charlie Company, he was given the love and attention that he craved for so dearly. This whole routine of the Sorcerer was Wade's way of removing himself from the real event that was Vietnam, and his way of hiding behind the truth and reality of what was really happening. In the end, John Wade became an expert in convincing himself that the truth was not always the truth. He kept secrets from himself, his wife, and his campaign manager, and it was perhaps these secrets that led to the downfall of his whole existence.

It was John Wade's childhood and difficult upbringing that played a major role in shaping the man he turned out to be. John was full of admiration for his father, yet he found it difficult to understand the hurtful and remorseless remarks his father would make about his weight and his report cards. H
