The Hostage is a short story about the war between Germans and Americans and the law of Hostages if someone were to desert or wasn't physically able to continue the war his family could get killedGeneral Dexter was disgracefully discharged from his position after losing men at some battle I can't really remember the name After couple years he received orders from the Führer that he must defend his country near the Belgium border even if it's useless Torn between what he should do and what his moral obligation is Dexter made a choice that will change the course of the battle an the course of all soldier livesAt first it was hard for me to understand the story because English is my second language and it contains many military terms which I didn't understand Many of those words are archaisms even in English After the third re reading and discussing in class I must confess I loved the story especially the end and the braveness of both Dexter and his wife
This was an assigned read for me and surprisingly uite an interesting short story compared to the majority of stuff I've had to read for school Aside from the fact that I absolutely love historical fiction especially World War II related I must say that the writing style in this novella is simply beautiful The unexpected turnout only added up to the emotional impression Overall enjoyable enough for me to be able to rate it three out of five stars
good
