PRE-WRITING
1.In Restrepo when the soldiers flew in it made me see what it was like in Perry's eyes when he first flew in to vietnam for his deployment.
2. When the soldiers fly into camp it amazed me of how bad the living conditions were and made me realize more of what perry went through during his deployment.
3. When the squad in Restrepo is out on patrol questioning people and looking through the houses it reminded me of when Perry's squad went on missions to help and support the good guys in vietnam.
4.When Restrepo dies at the beginning it was similiar to when Jenkins died. Even though they were different ways of dying they both died at the beginning of their deployments before they even had a chance to prove themselves.
5. When the one guy in Restrepo talked about how it took him awhile to tell his parents what was was truely going on and how people were actually dying, this was similiar to how it took Perry time because he didn't know how to tell Kenny what was actually happening in the war because he didn't know how to write it in his letter and he didn't want to scare him.
6.In Restrepo when the Sergeant was talking about shooting and killing the guys that didn't have to be killed it reminded me about how Perry's squad killed the good guys and even their own guys when they didn't know.
7. Creating outpost Restrepo was an exiting moment and reminded me of when perry would kind of make his on outpost when on patrol when he would dig himself into the ground and then put sandbags up.
8. I thought it was a happy moment when the soldiers duty was over and were able to go home and made me realize more of how Perry must of felt and reacted when he was able to go home.
9. In Restrepo when they talked about the final battle where they saw the enemy 20ft. away from them that reminded me of when Perry and Peewee were in the spider whole and saw and killed their enemy who was literally on them.
10. I thought it was sad seeing one of the soldiers in restrepo crying over the death of a fellow soldier and made me realize how Perry must of felt when his fellow soldiers died in battle. It also made me realize that soldiers are emotional and do get choked up over things.
WRITING
Reading Fallen Angels and watching Restrepo showed me how terrible war truely is. When ever I see things related to war on T.V. they always show the best part and things making me think war really isn't that bad. But wathcing Restrepo exspacially showed me that my assumption was wrong. When I see camps on T.V. they always look nice and built up well. But through the descriptions that Perry said in Fallen Angels and the actual visual evidence in Restrepo I discovered that the living conditions are actually terrible having to sleep on wood with low ceilings and always having to live in the dirt. I also didn't realize how scary it was just to live on your down time having to always have somebody on patrol making sure there is nothing out there. Another thing I learned was how hard it is to operate the guns. There was a time in Fallen Angels where Perry had set the guns the wrong way and didn't even realize it or how skilled you have to be to work an M16. Next, I learned that to join the army you must truely be courageous. Seeing the soldiers out on patrol looking for people showed me that you never know when somebody could pop out and shoot at you killing you. A final thing that the book and movie taught me was that the guys do get emotional over things exspecially the death of fellow soldiers. I assumed that soldiers didn't have very strong emotions but Reading Fallen Angels showed me that the soldiers have ceremonies and reunions for their fallen soldiers and watching Restrepo showed me that the soldiers do actually sometimes cry over death.
