The language in this book is not to show that it is not a book for children it is to show that when this characters have certain feelings that they will tell you in a certain way that you may not agree with. So i think the language in this book is proper to show how it was when Quantrill really came through and distoryed lawrence.<BR/><BR/>-LadyJay #2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-9476151433043167562008-03-17T21:03:00.000-05:002008-03-17T21:03:00.000-05:00I don't think that there is a lot off bad language...I don't think that there is a lot off bad language because I've read a couple books that have tons of bad language.

Young readers did to know what it felt like in this time period. Young readers need to know that it was hard times and if this book has to much voilence than how would the young readers of this time learn and understand how it felt. There is a perfect amount of violence and swearing, not to much where the young reader begins to use the words, and not to less when the reader does not fully understand what it was like.<BR/>William HarrisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-73655201701606268312008-03-16T16:33:00.000-05:002008-03-16T16:33:00.000-05:00I think that there isn't alot of violence or swear...I think that there isn't alot of violence or swearing in the book.

The swearing just adds to the human form of a 15 year-old boy, it makes all of the characters seem more realistic. If a young adult is not mature enough to handle the mild swearing in this book, than they should not be reading it. The violence is in this book, as well, to make it seem more realistic. This is a book about the Civil War, portraying accurately the horrors and the struggles of the citizens of the U.S. at this time.<BR/><BR/>Taylor GreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-27915097100533295542008-03-13T20:41:00.000-05:002008-03-13T20:41:00.000-05:00I disagree with the fact that the book has to much...I disagree with the fact that the book has to much violence and swearing.

A story sometimes might depend on it for structure. It builds up the story and adds excitement, drama, adventure, and so on. If you are not mature enough to handle it then you have picked up a book that is wrong for you. I think that if you don't read this book because of its content you will be losing out.<BR/><BR/>sawyer02Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-77215149398808526422008-03-13T18:08:00.000-05:002008-03-13T18:08:00.000-05:00Everyone uses bad words.

First of all, it was a war, theres got to be some violence there, I meean most wars have had violence in them, especially the Civil War. Without the violence, it will be as if the author would be portraying false information about the war, in the book. We should all still know that the Civil War had alot of violence. Swearing. Swearing does influence bad thoughts, but also increases tension, suspense, and all other types of emotions in the book and in the reader also. Finally, I don't think that there was too much violence or swearing in the book "GS". - Thank You<BR/><BR/>- Vinny YakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136754610946255398.post-13791883333867811052008-03-12T22:39:00.000-05:002008-03-12T22:39:00.000-05:00Even though many people may think that Guerrilla S...Even though many people may think that Guerrilla Season has to much swearing, I disagree.
