In GDIB, constant fear of the unknown is a focal point through out the course of the novel. In war, there are only millions of things that could take place in a single day. Harrison has made this clear to the readers by putting scenario after scenario of unexpected events right in the narrator’s face.
They killed us with land mines and booby traps; they disappeared in the night, or into the tunnels, or into the elephant grass and bamboo” (199n21). At the time the Vietnam war seemed unforgiving and mysterious, in ways that it made most soldiers naturally evil who in which portrayed enormous grief upon the enemy. It was a time where in every soldier's head they carried a motto, “kill or be killed.” In the novel, In The Lake Of The Woods, small and simple footnotes are attached at the end of important chapters and they give the reader clues concerning the story or they expresses symbolic twists that make the novel somewhat unpredictable. The Footnote I have chosen runs on the back of chapter 20. The small passage explains related truth on the Vietnam War, symbolizes what John Wade, the protagonists, has witnessed, and finally how it portrays the rest of the novel.
  Passages from the Text Pggg Comments and Questions “lived in Udine and came out this way nearly every day to see how things were going, and things went very badly.” 4 Implying that the King lived in Udine and came out the same way everyday in a speeding car, which probably means that it was very dangerous for the King and he had to move fast. World War I was probably really terrible and that’s why things didn’t look so good. A lot of people were dieing. "I was very glad that the Austrians seemed to want to come back to the town some time, if the war should end, because they did not bombard it to destroy it but only a little in a military way." 5 Saying that the Austrians liked the little and could enjoy the pleasures of life
With out the knowledge of how Polio was spread, isolation became standard. Doctors were in a race to discover a vaccine, and many of the first attempts were more than failures.

In a way it was like the Holocaust, only not as cruel. The trains would travel at night so that when they went by the few pockets of civilization, no one would see the prisoners. Eventually the railroad ended, and prisoners were chained together a forced to march hundreds of miles to their destinations. This fate was not shared by all though, only the most remote (and therefore deadliest) camps required this forced march. Many perished before they even found out where they were going
Railroad crossings are obviously dangerous. The ratio of the aluminum soda can to a car being the same as a car to a train kind of blew my mind. I never really gave much thought to how big a train is and how fast it’s going. It’s sad to think that everyday people who were just in a hurry can be killed just like that, and I’m willing to bet that they don’t even think about what might happen when the trespass onto the train tracks. Even though people still go around them, I’m glad that we have modern barriers like the arms because I feel like I would be less likely to stop if the intersection were just open.
As we approached a border patrol checkpoint the SUV broke down again! So there we were again, stuck in one hundred plus degree weather in the middle of nowhere and this time there were no gas stations or anything around. The only thing close was the border check about fifty feet away. Before we went to see if they could help us, we had to call OnStar and tell them our problem. Sitting there, right before we reached the border patrol checkpoint had to look very suspicious to the border patrol agents.
We were already halfway through the line at that point, so I couldn’t go and eat something really nasty and then throw it up on the roller coaster-on Daniella, but I did have another idea. I would ask mike-because he was in front of us, to tell Daniella that he had the worst time on the ride so that Daniella would be really scared already and think the worst of it. But first I had to talk to mike. “Hey Daniella, I’m going to go talk to mike about umm… OUR SCIENE PRODJET!” I said louder than I thought. “Well, okay, but be quick, he is about to ide the ride,” she said.
