chapter-2

In chapter 2 when Henry is with his regiment the book starts to call Henry "the youth" which sort of makes sense since Henry is the newest guy in the regiment or the "young blood" or "fresh meat" by the soldier standards. The youths new regiment is sent to a river where everyone is suspecting to see some action but there intelligence was off and the enemy never showed then they find out that their (Union) forces drove them away before they (Confederate) got to the youth's regiment, which since the regiment is a new regiment the Confederate forces would have probably been defeated and the regiment gone since there was not many veterans in the regiment. Also the youth meets someone the book calls "the loud soldier" and the youth becomes friends with him ,but it's allways good to have friends in a war zone but it hurts alot more if he dies in front of you.

chapter-1

In this chapter it was just basically about this kid named Henry and he gets in a fight with his mom about joining the U.S. military because she says it would change him. Personally I think he made a good decision but if he knew what was to come I would have disapproved him joining the military. Well when he joined it the regiment was sitten back waiten for there orders. Also they shouldn't have been sitten around they should have been doing drills.

new book

Unfortunately "Gone With the Wind" was to long and boring. So the new book I choose is "THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE" by Stephen Crane. Know alot of people say its a bad book but it seems ok and not boring and long like "Gone With the Wind".

question 2

the book will challenge me because the book is long and has southern talk. the way I would deal with the the problem is by trying to say the southern accent my self and try to see what it means.

questions

the book that I choose is Gone With the Wind. I choose this book because the book is in the time in the American Civil War and I like americas history whatever it's about.
