In Sean Huze, “The Sand Storm” there was some extremely graphic material. At first, it seemed like it was going to be difficult to read and understand—but once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I have never read a play before so that was new to me. It was a little difficult at first to keep track of who was talking. The language is easy to interpret and flowed smoothly. It made my heart hurt for the families of these soldier’s. They weren’t getting mail, and really they were left in the dark as to what was going on. Most of the story disgusted me—it was scary to think that these men are simply just killing everyone and everything in sight. It was like they cared, but knew that they would have to kill. The play all together was very moving. There were certain parts that brought tears to my eyes. They talk about playing with the kids in the streets and talking to the surviving man after they just killed his whole family. He was grateful for the soldier and was pissed at his own leadership in his country. I was astonished when I read that. Who would have thought? I guess I had already made an assumption of what the war was like over there. I would love to see this play sometime.
