"From the sixth grade on they had known for a fact that someday they would be married, and live in a fine gingerbread house near Lake Erie, and have three healthy yellow-haired children, and grow old together, and no doubt die in each other's arms and be buried in the same walnut casket" (pg 90).
What a great feeling that would be to feel like you have found your soulmate. This is "The Notebook" material, dying in each other's arms- how delightful! Sadly, everything has to come to an end. For Mark Fossie it ended awfully. At first, his princess gets off the helicopter and they spend every waking second together extending their fairy tale life. But eventually, she begins learning things; you can't be in the place of war and not change at all. Mary Anne changed for the worst. She got caught up in the war, and she wanted to be part of it. She found the Green Berets and she decided that was her calling. I feel bad for old Mark. He never thought that would happen when he brought his lady to the war.

make sure you aren't just summarizing sections. What importance does Mary Anne's character bring to the work?
