What Are you Thankful For?

I have recently Finished reading a book titled “The Red Badge of Courage”.

The book is about a young man, Henry, who leaves home and joins the Union Army.

During his first battle he runs away.
Then he wanders around just thinking about weird things, until he finds his regiment and joins them again.
He fights in the next few battles without running away, and is noticed by the commader for his courage (he lead a charge into enemy lines).

At the end of the book, the Civil War is ending and he is preparing to return to his home.

At this point in my school I am reading about the Civil war, a bloody time in American History a time when Brother was pitted against Brother.

This war tore apart communities and families, it was a time when boys became men.

In the last book I read, Titled “Across Five Aprils” displays the hardships of the war.

Jethro’s Brothers go to war, three to the Union, one to the Confederates, which causes trouble for the family.

And then his father can no longer work in the fields, so he takes the role of the man of the house and does the work of a man, though he is only eleven years old.
