Why was the u. s. finally able to gain the upper hand on japan as losses mounted up? american forces were better prepared. america was able to rebuild faster. japan had less-capable leaders. the japanese mainland was attacked.

America was able to rebuild faster.

America's population size, economic strength and industrial powers allowed the US to not only build up her armies, but also supply allies through the lend-lease act. In fact, with all the population & natural resources the US owned, they were able to build almost as fast as their equipment being destroyed, hence a quote of "Once a .. .[tank in this instance] was destroyed, it was pushed out of the way, and replaced at once..."

so the story tells of someone named kaushik choudhuri, but he does not narrate the story, a girl named hema does. hema tells the story in a second person point of view because you (the reader) are supposed to be the boy named kaushik.

here's an excerpt i found: "i was ushered into the fitting room, your mother watching approvingly as i took off my coat and sweater and tried on the bra."
