Part 2 November 29, 1943 (The 2nd entry) Paragraph 1: This paragraph consists of three points.
The author begins with his remarks on the validity of war(Sentence1--4), and then turns to his grim situation at that time(S5--9), and shifts to those dead soldiers and their families.
Paragraph 2: This paragraph projects the author’s strong passions: his affection for his family (daughters) and his rage for “selfish and ignorant” killing and destruction.

Part 3 December 24, 1943 (The 3rd entry)In the third part, what readers can see in the
paragraph is like picture-talking with the focus shifting from the approaching death on the battlefield to the author’s envisioned peace at home. Then it ends abruptly with one last question about the sensibility of war, “Why?”, possibly with the end of his life.

direction;---his last wish to get his diary back home.
