Trivia About the Literature (Mariah)
Sa poem na ito ay may isang students nagkwento ng kanyang naranasan about sa war
in Vietnam. Dito ay siya ay humihingi ng sorry sa mga naaabala niya .
Ang war na nabanggit ay totoong nangyari sa Vietnam. (Iexplain ito pero wag directly
English para di halatang binabasa).

The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the
communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its
principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing
Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. More than 3 million
people (including over 58,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War, and
more than half of the dead were Vietnamese civilians.
