SKETCHES


Sevastopol in December

In ''Sevastopol in December,'' Tolstoy introduces the reader (by using the pronoun 'you') to life in Sevastopol by taking them on an introduction tour. The detailed tour is arguably similar to one Tolstoy may have been given upon arrival in Sevastopol in November, 1854.

Sevastopol in May

In ''Sevastopol in May,'' Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war. The story examines the psychology of war and the misleading presence of humanism in truces (misleading because countries continuously go to war with one another, despite past truces). Tolstoy concludes by declaring that the only hero of his story is truth.
