Flags of our Fathers
flags of our fathers was a very patriotic book. We lost many good marrines on the battle of Iwo Jima including three of the flagrasiers. Only three returned home, this battle came with a high cost of young men and many hours of hard work to win this battle.They went through months of boot camp preparing for anything the japs might throw at them. Jack "doc" Bradley was one of the boys who made it home. He never really talked about the battle or the flag raising, his son was very intreseted in knowing his fathers past. It takes many years but he finally learns about the 6 men on the island. I would recomend this book to anyone who like a non fiction book and war stories.
Henry vs. Forrest
In intense situations, a person's instinctual reaction causes him/her to react for self-preservation, whether that means taking flight or taking a stand.
Henry was scared and definatly went into self-preservation. When the Confederate Army charged there lines he ran when he wasnt told to retreate. He ran with no intentions to return to the fight. When the next battle came up he had a new fire in his eye and it seemed as if Henry was mad at the Rebels for even getting that close to them and ran out of the trench like a wild man and actually turned the rebels around.
Forrest done what he was told he was the perfect soldier in the start. When he was givin an order he done it to his best ability. His best friend Bubbe (Benjamin Buffard Blue ) was hit why the regiment was retreeting. He was told to stay but he he ran back to get Bubba but on his way he found many men that were wounded that he knew. He found leutenatn Dan just before he found bubba and he wanted to die there but forrest took him out. Shortly after he found bubba got him out of the woods just as the airstrike came in and bomb the place and bubba died on the river bank.
Forrest and Henry are completely diffrent Henry was running out fear trying to get out of the battle. He left his friends behind and ran for his life. Forrest ran but he was told by his commander to run, even after he was shot he went back into the fight trying to find his friends and save everyone he could.
