In the essay, “America the Beautiful: What We’re Fighting For,” Dinesh D’Souza discussed the conflict between the Islamic and American worlds and opinions and controversy that keeps these worlds in tension. He also talks about how lucky Americans are and how wonderful America is as a country. There are many advantages that America has over other countries. D’Souza called American society, “the greatest, freest, and most decent society in existence,” and goes as far as to say that Islamic societies produce, “wretched, servile, fatalistic and intolerant human beings.”
In the novel, Johnny Got His Gun, a young man, who like many others, goes to war because he is told by the leaders of his country to go to war. He was injured when a bomb explodes next to him, and he loses both his arms, legs, hearing, sight and can’t even speak.
The relationship between D’Souza’s essay and Johnny Got His Gun is that Johnny Got His Gun shows the reality of what war really is like. D’Souza explains the complications and problems with war, but not necessarily the consequences that come of it. Johnny Got His Gun shows how horrifying, sad and dangerous war is and the lasting impact it has on people’s lives.
