====Mary anne is a big example of change in the war becuase they way she changed makes you realize what war does to people. At first Mary anne arrived a sweet innocent girl with a pink sweater and a smile. She didnt know how nasty the war was and how dirty things got and she always seemed to be happy and bubbly. After a while she started to change,she lost her innocence,bubbliness and hardly even smiled. Mary anne got to know the war and how things went so eventually it got to her and made her change."You come over clean and you get dirty and then afterward its never the same"(O'brien 109). Mary anne in the story represents what happens to soldiers during the war,how they come in and how they leave,if they leave.====

Women in the war are represented as change,like Mary anne when she came in she was girly,happy and always in a great mood but then after a period of time in the war she changed to a dull,non bubbly person.
