Victory does not matter with a high price. 21. This phrase was said by Randy. This phrase is important because it explains one of the theme of the story. Even if there was no war things would still have been the same. This phrase is not only important to how life is unchangeable the by thing that happen, because the way you make life is the way it will be lived. 22. Alas Babylon is was a saying in the book that represented how people were going to a different lifestyle. Lifestyle such as war productions and etc. 23. This war inside this novel is not necessarily a Cold War. It should be called the Hot War, because the Soviets and the USA confronted each other. Cold means it was a war found indirectly, and by other nations. Hot War also means that this war is fought by Nuclear War. Both Nations shoot missiles(WMD) to each other. 24. One of the chaos in this book is how the highwaymen attack Dan. It is significant because it is one of the ways to find out that the novel is reaching its climax. Another chaos in the book is when cities in the USA are destroyed by Nuke. Another chaos is how the radiation spreads through Porky’s Jewels. They were bought and transfered. Adding on, when Porky dies, Dan uses a gun to force eight people to carry the body and bury it. 25. The brief sketch is important because it does not represent USA being destroyed. Even with victory it’s still the same because the loss was so heavy, that losing would have been the same.
