Johnny Got His Gun

This brutally honest portrayal of how the horrors of war affect a single individual offers a unique perspective on the physical, emotional, and psychological damage soldiers often face. It is told through the thoughts of an injured soldier who loses the use of his body when a mortar shell explodes on the battlefield. Without eyes, ears, nose, jaw, arms, or legs, all Joe has left is his mind—he is completely trapped inside a useless shell with no way to communicate with the outside world. The human spirit inevitably does triumph—to a degree—and your students will be able to reflect on their own lives from a different perspective.
