The themes of the three texts that I have chosen all have something to do with the war.

In the book 'The Survivor', a man was a multiple survivor of a few incidences e.g. He survived being a prisoner in an enemy's war camp. He also survived drowning when the submarine, which saved him from being tortured and probably killed in the war camp, sprung a leak and began to sink.

In the movie Saving Private Ryan, a group of soldiers were set the task of going into war, finding Private Ryan and sending him home to his parents because three of his other brothers were killed in combat.

In the other book Gallipoli two young men decided to sign up to go to war only to be known and to be a hero.

I chose this topic (the War) because I wanted to find the differences and the similarities between the two texts. Adam, the main character in The Survivor role was to stay alive and he did that well I thought. Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) was the main character in the movie Saving Private Ryan. He was a part of a great cast in the movie. Archy and Frank were the co-main acto

Adam (The Survivor) also kept a cool head when he had a problem he had to deal with. I found it quite interesting how if you fill a plastic bag with air and placed it under water, if the pressure is too much the air would escape.

rs in the movie Gallipoli. They both wanted to be known for being in the war.

Weapons are being used e.g. guns, grenades.

They all have something to do with the war

Archy and Frank never encounter many problems in the book Gallipoli but one that stands out to me is where the four friends would not go to war if one wasn't allowed because of his gums. They all stuck together and I think that was a great part of the book showing the friendship between the four friends. I probably would have resolved the issues the same way as the characters did... except for the plastic bag trick I would never have thought of that
