Code Name Verity: Part 2, Section 8 Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
In quick, abbreviated writing, Maddie says she found a great field cycling with Mitraillette on Friday, November 12. The fields are all flat (so they’d be great landing spots), but they’re all the same (so there are no good landmarks for a reception team). But it must be a beautiful place to fly when there isn’t a war going on.
Even as Maddie is working to help the Resistance fight the Nazis, she can’t ignore the fact that France is a gorgeous country. And this makes the injustice of the war even worse—because of the Nazi occupation, people can’t enjoy France’s natural beauty.
