| Summary | "Joy in the Morning" by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative addresses the aftermath of World War I, focusing on themes of sacrifice, valor, and the enduring impact of war on the lives of ordinary people. The opening portion introduces a poignant dialogue about the experiences of American soldiers, particularly through the lens of a soldier dying in a trench, while also weaving in reflections on historical events and acting as a tribute to those who served. The beginning of the story unfolds in a wartime trench, depicting a dying American soldier grappling with the horrors of battle and the weight of loss. In his delirium, he recalls memories of home, his mother, and the futility he feels about the war, expressing a longing for a normal life that has been overshadowed by violence. Through a mix of memories and dreams, the narrative captures the contrast between the innocence of youth and the grim reality of war, reinforcing the emotional cost of conflict. This sets a reflective tone that continues as the narrative progresses, delving into the legacies of those who fought and how their sacrifices resonate in the world that follows.
