  1. #2. I believe writing made Kien feel better because it was a way for him to express what he could not verbally explain. At this time in the book, Kien does not have anyone to vent to. So for right now, writing his feelings down into the novel he's writing, is his way of expressing his feelings.

      Writing seems to make kien feel better because it's his way of releasing stress. By writing he is able to get all of his feelings out. He can write to others about how he feel as well. Writing was Kien's way relaxing his mind as well. He didn't want to write solely about the war though. War was the only thing on his mind so he wrote about it. In conclusion, writing helped kien calm down.
