War and Hope
Firefly and Grave of the Fireflies
by Jiffy Burke

Wars are fought to clarify a struggle for control of resources. Specifically, war is waged to determine precisely who has control of mineral wealth, production facilities, farmland or strategic ports. Both of the narratives that I use as examples throughout this article deal with the direct impact and the lasting consequences of war. Firefly is the story of a crew of veterans, mercenaries and fugitives thrown together by circumstance, trying to survive in a post-War universe. Grave of the Fireflies, an anime masterpiece, tells the story of a brother and sister and is set in a Japanese village during World War II. Firefly deals primarily with life after a war that recently ended with an uneasy peace, while Grave of the Fireflies examines a period of time toward the end of a prolonged conflict.
