Life and Death
I was surprised when Jonathan actually wanted to join the war. I don't think Jonathan realizes that war isn't fun and games it's a life or death situation. The narrator states in the story that Jonathan thoughts were saying to him, "Go! Do it! Go Fight!" Jonathan's thoughts are encouraging him to fight in war, but Jonathan doesn't realize he is ninety-nine percent going to die in war! Think about all the soldiers are almost six feet tall, Jonathan is only maybe five foot, four, what are the chances of Jonathan shooting one of those soldiers. If Jonathan wants to join the war he has to go through physical trainning and mental trainning as well. Truly Jonathan doesn't realize that joining the war may be the dumbest dessicion he may ever make!

ReplyDeleteI like your metaphor for life and death with fun and games.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, war is not fun and games , it's what determines whether you live happily or you die trying. I too do not think Jonathan realizes that.
