1. Character Letter
Dear Peter,
The hail of bullet fire and screams of agony have not yet begun and the fear of pain has already chilled me to the bone. The dirty trenches offer little protection from the invasion of French and Russian soldiers yet to come. Our head officer told me these “green” experiences are all part of a first time soldier, that doesn’t matter. Whatever fears that may distract me just shorten my distance from death’s clutches. It’s like what Kat said, “Hesitation is a soldier’s greatest enemy whether it is an opposing force or his fellow combatants” I trust his judgment more than my own in any battle. I guess seeing a working rifle next to me is comforting. The cool feel of the metal trigger reflects a man’s desire to kill another on the battlefield. Even I feel invincible at times despite the man-made fire breathing dragons and firestorm cannons other soldiers wield. It’s really the mortar that worries me, at any moment the guy next to you can take a mouthful of lead. I’ll make sure I keep myself alive so I can write to you again.
Your Dearest Friend,
Albert Kropp

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places - worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere - going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression - no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow - no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funnyI find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyingAre the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell youI find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Mad World, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday - happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen - sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me - no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me - look right through me
And I find it kind of funnyI find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyingAre the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell youI find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Mad World, mad world
