Life and Death

I realized that Jonathan has begun to notice the dangers of the war and not the fancy clothing that they where. In the novel when the narrator stated, "Jonathan, feeling uncomfortable, let the man move on ahead...." This shows that Jonathan has relized that it is too dangerous to disobey his father now and that the war is going to effect him badly in the future. Jonathan thinks about what the solider that his father knew said about if his father had given him permission to fight in the war. Jonathan pratically choked on his words when he lied to him about what he had asked him. To me, that shows that Jonathan fears the danger that is up ahead and he could get badly injured. Indeed this is why i think Jonathan is beginning to relize the dangers of war.
