Themes for the Fighting Ground.

In many ways Jonathan's decision will come to haunt him. He is growing up to quickly, he is only 13 and is already joining the war! He needs to remember that he is young and inexperianced. Another theme is Life and Death, which I mainly focus on the gun. The gun can save him but kill the other person or in the end he might die from the same gun he holds with his hands. Further on in the story I'm sure he will have to face many choices that will come as difficult. But if he can't handle them then what makes him think he will survive this harsh war? Good vs. Evil, who do you think is good and who is evil? If each person has the thoughts or intentions of harming the other person, then is there really a good to chose for? Alienation and Isolation, the war is lethal for everyone what makes him think that anyone would pamper him in these conditions, if he thought that he wasn't being taken care of before wait 'till he ventures further into the battle. Now comes the real main cause of all this commotion...war. Its harsh, no place for children, dangerous, and in my opinion is sad. Many bad outcomes come from this. But something that really is hurtful is losing a loved one. Jonathan is just another one lost in thoughts of the triumphs and rewards that come from war, but has yet to discover the sadness that trails along side.
