Restrepo

Pre-Writing:
1.In Restrepo when the soldiers had to fly into the place it showed what it was like in Perry's point of view when he first flew in to vietnam.

2. In both they are right in enemy territory which seems really scary that they could get shot at or attacked and could be killed at any time.

3. In Restrepo when the squad is out questioning locals it reminded me when Perry's squad trys to help the vietnameese locals and they were both friendly to the native people.

4. When Restrepo dies its very similair when Jenkins dies in the book Fallen Angels.  There similair because they both die that the beginning of their job and they didn't really get a chance to prove themselves.

5. I thought it was happy when the soldiers time was up and they could go home Perry felt great when he could go home and if I was in the situation and they told me that I was able to go home I would be thrilled also. 

6.  I thought it was sad when one of the soldiers in REstrepo was crying over a fellow soldier being killd it made me think of how Perry was feeling when hes soldiers died it also made me relize how big strong soldiers can be emotional too.

7.  In Restrepo when they talked about the final battle where they saw the enemy 20feet away from them that made me think of when Perry and Peewee were in the spider whole and they  saw and killed their enemy who was like right next to them.

8. In Restrepo when they loose there second man in battle it is kinda like Brew dying in the end of the book.

9. When they lose REstrepo in the firefight its like when Jenkins dies in the beginning of the book because they both die right away.

10.  Both honor and celebrate fallen fellow soldiers lives bake a cake when brew dies and in REstrepo they shoot a flar up into the sky to honor.

Writing:
Reading the book Fallen Angels and watching the movie Restrepo taught me many things about war.  It taught me how scary war can be like when the American soldiers went into rock avalanche and they could have been attacked at any time.  The soldiers were talkin about going into Kornigal Valley they thought it wouldnt be that bad but when they actuallly got there a bunch of tough soldiers began to get weak at the knees because it was so scary.  Also when your in the war you can get hit at any time so you need to be able to rely on your fellow soldiers so that they can help you out if you get shot or you are injured.  And you need to be able to do the same thing for them. So basically you need to build relationships with your fellow soldiers and make friends because you can't fight a war alone and you need to have people on your side.
