First, revisit your blog from yesterday. Rewrite it to reflect the conversations we had yesterday. Be sure to address each question and use examples from the text. Plan on writing the equivalent of about 2 pages. Thorough, thorough, thorough. And then...some more thorough.
Then, in a separate comment, predict who Eddie's next person will be. Justify your prediction. You should have 2 comments!
When you're done, go back and edit to be sure that you've been thorough. Then, continue reading "Five People" quietly by yourself.

ReplyDeleteI think the next person eddie meets is ruby the person who the pier is named after
ReplyDeleteEddie's war expirences were grousem and terrifying for him and his team. Alboms descipshin of the war in eddie's prespective was so desciptive it was like i was standing there watching this happen to eddie and his team. Eddie learned how to care for other people an not just for himself. He came home a diffrent man because he had got shot and his life had been turned around and had a new meaning in life. The captian shot eddie because eddie thought he saw someone in the burning barn and he started to walk into the burning building, but the captian noticed he was just seeing things so he shot him in the leg to save his life, if he didnt shoot him he would have burned to death. The captian tells eddie a sacrafice is not really a loss but a gain, because you are sacraficing your own life for someone else.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the war changed alot and some of it was very bloody. There was alot of action in the war. He described the mine that was dug for his captors.
ReplyDeleteEddie learned by being in the war that sacrafising a part of your own body will save your life.
Eddie came home a different man because he had lost everything: his running skills, his dancing skills, and his fellings for what he did.
The captain shot Eddie because when they were fighting in the war, he saw something that looked like a kid in a burning barn. Morton tried to save him, but Eddie turned around and hit him in the face. Eddie was just too strong for both of them. Then the Captain shot him in the leg to save is life.
The Captain said ''I took your leg to save your life'' because he means that he shot Eddie's leg t save his life.
The Captain said to Eddie that sacrifice is not really a loss but a gain because if you sacrafise something, you gain something. Just like at Ruby Pier. His sacrafised his life to save a little girl.
I think Eddie meets next is Ruby. The girl that is named after the amusment park.
ReplyDeleteI think the next person eddie meets in heaven is Ruby
ReplyDeletealbons descripion of war made me feel like I was there like the gun fire in the distance and the lifeless terrain pg:56 that he described and the fallen trees pg:56.What eddie learned in the war was how to ride atop a tank,how to shave with cold water in his helmet,when in a fox hole not to shoot a tree cause the shrapnel would fly back and wound him.Eddie came back a diffrerent man because he was shot in the leg and could'nt dance or run.The captain shot eddie in the leg to keep him from walking into the building that was on fire and burning.The meaning of the captain saying "I took your leg to save your life" is the captain new that a leg would heal and eddie would have died if he walked into the fire.The captain told eddie that his leg wasnt a loss but a gain because if eddie had walked into the fire he would of died but with the leg injury eddie gained his chances of life back.
ReplyDeleteEddie returned home as a different man because he was shot in the leg to save him from dieing in a fire.
ReplyDeleteEddie learend how to smoke. He learned to
march. He learned to cross a rope bridge while carrying, all at once, an overcoat, a radio, a carbine, a gas mask, a tripod for a machinegun, a backpack, and several bondoliers on his shoulders.(p.g. 62) He learned to whistle through his teeth. He learned to pray quickly. He learned to sleep on rocky Earth.(p.g. 63) Those are only some of the things, he learned in war.
I think that Eddies next person he will meet will be somebody at Ruby pier that has died. He has meet a lot of people from Ruby Pier and Im sure one person has died.
ReplyDeletehe came home a changed man because he saw stuff a different way. the captain shot eddies leg to save his life because eddie was going to jump in the fire to save what he thought was somebody.
