Six Themes of the story "The Fighting Ground" *GROWING UP *

I felt confused when Jonathan happily accepted the request to go to war because even though Jonathan was growing up even I wouldn't decide to go to war with many other people that are both younger and older than Jonathan that agree with me. Growing up also seems to be a big part of the story because Jonathan feels as if his parents are isolating him from the war and that he is all grown up and ready to enter brawl that he thinks would be spendid but in reality would be horrifying. On his way to the tavern he seems to stoop and think and in his mind he thinks "If I go to the tavern it is not only to get news but to fight in in the war. GO. DO IT. GO FIGHT IN THE WAR." because he obviously seems to think he is grown up enough to last a battle. Truly a person who is really grown up should see war as a bad ting and not a good thing like Jonathan
