My Brother Sam is Dead: Litterary Analysis-

At the start of My Brother Sam is Dead, Tim Meeker is a young boy who becomes conflicted between the two sides of a war after his brother joins the Rebel side, which his father is very against. Tim starts out as innocent, impressionable, and very obedient to his father. He also looks up to his brother, Sam, and is always looking to impress him. In My Brother Sam is Dead, Tim Meeker learns that glory is an illusion because he witnesses first hand how values degenerate during war.

Tim sees Sam as glorious at first, but then learns the glory is an illusion. Sam looks for glory by going to fight for the Rebels in the war. He fought in this war for years and was still seeking more glory. Tim, on the other hand, was not fooled by the illusion of glory. He was much more influenced by the harsh things going on, like soldiers killing innocent people and stealing livestock. Sam saw all this and more, but was still caught up in the idea of glory. These things show Tim that the war isn’t as glorious as he thought, and that glory is overrated.

Tim seems to lose his illusions about glory and war when his father is killed, he sees an innocent man decapitated, and watches men steal cattle from people who also need it. These actions show how values degenerate during war. In the book Mrs. Meeker keeps repeating the phrase “War turns men into beasts.” The things Tim witnesses prove this.

Scandinavia

Scandinavian countries are located in northwestern Europe, east of the Atlantic Ocean, and extend north of the Arctic Circle. They include Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Scandinavian countries have a unique physical geography because of volcanoes and glaciers
Scandinavia is a very rocky, mountainous region with many bodies of water. It has a lot of different vegetation and is very green. There are the Norwegian fjords, the Scandinavian Mountains, the flat, low areas in Denmark, and the archipelagos of Sweden and Norway
There are many volcanoes and glaciers in Scandinavia. There are arêtes, cirques, tarns, and many more types. Iceland has over 100 volcanoes. People in Icelans use geothermal power created by volcanoes for heating and hot water. Glaciers create fjords and carve valleys.

The Peruvian Andes

The location of Machu Picchu is surrounded by the Andes Mountains. Therefore, I included a picture of the mountain range. The mountains lie as a continuous chain surrounding Machu Picchu and other parts of South America.
For movement they used llamas, messengers, and bridges. I used a picture of an Incan women standing by a llama. I also found a great picture of an Andean bridge. The Incans built Andean bridges over canyons and gorges in the Andes Mountains.
The region was mountainous with many lakes. I included a picture of a lake with a mountainous background. It shows how large the lakes are and the giant size of the mountains.
Human environment interaction was expressed by a picture of a small part of a village with stone- walls. They also used lakes for boats and fishing. Most of the small villages shown in pictures were surrounded my mountains, including the picture in my project.
Physical and human characteristics included villages and towns in the mountain ranges. I included a picture of large mountains and a hillside- village with stone- walls. The picture shows the intense depth of this area.
