Choices

I noticed that Jonathan had a choice to fight in the war against the British. In the book the author states "You handle a gun" said the man, while Jonathan replied "Yes,sir." It annoyed me that he actually decided to join the man in war. Jonathan is blowing his whole life away, just to go experiance war. He doesn't even know how war would be like for him, especially since he is only 13 years old. Jonathan could probably die, and realize how he barely even got to live his life. Indeed Jonathan made the wrong choice to fight in the war.
