The main thing that caught my attention was Marry Anne; the way she changed so dramatically, so completely, almost un-natural. But I think that's why it stood out so much in this section because it ties it all together. The way the author describes war as beautiful and not just some useless fight with no reason. Marry was seen as pure and perfect when she first arrived, but with time she learned the ways of the veitnam war. First just picking up some language, later turning into learning how to accurately shoot a gun, and eventually "She wanted more, she wanted to penetrate deeper into the mystery of herself, and after a time the wanting became needing, which turned into craving." Marry lost controle of herself and her humanity, her purity and innocence. She didn't change herself, in a way, it was the nature that began to overcome her like what the singing rocks did to the scouts when they were out in the jungle for weeks at a time.
