Current Connections: Navy SEALs
Title: Navy Seals: A Battle for the Conscience
What's the author's purpose? To see if the Navy SEALs are writing these books just for the fame and glory.
Does the author accomplish his/her purpose? Yes, the author shows good points on what the SEALs are doing.
What ideas do you agree with? Before, SEALs did not talk about what they did. Being part of the best special forces was good enough.
What ideas do you disagree with? That now, since the younger generations of SEALs grew up in an age of social networking such as Facebook and online publicity, now the younger SEALs want to share their experiences with others to get a positive feeling from the peers, no longer do they have the full pride of being a SEAL.
What do you not understand? Why the SEALs want recognition for this by spreading classified information, which they know is illegal, but they still look for that fame and glory in their job.
What Connections can you make with the text? (Self, Text, World) Self: I am joining the Marines soon, and I may learn of classified information about my job that I want to talk about with others, but cannot.
