Michael-Tom

Hello Michael Perry is the main character. He is from New York City and is African American. Perry is a caring person but the war seems to change that to a point. He was nervous about going to war. But he did go fight even though he had a profile on his knee. He was the kind of person that was always there to back you up. It did not matter what race or religion. Even in the carnage of war he thought of his mother and brother all the time. Perry does have some very good traits like bravery and loyalty. I would like to have friend like him in war time or peace time.

My week has been good but busy. I have been doing well. We are busy with farming. I also have finished the book. I would like to find some more books from this author. Keep studying. So what do you want to do after you are done with school? Do you help your dad farm?

Week 2 Adult: Tom DuSablon Student: Michael Smith Book Title: Fallen Angels The setting of the story takes place in the 1960’s, in the country of Vietnam. During that time America was at war with North Vietnam. The main characters are Perry and Pewee. Perry is from New York. Pewee is from Chicago. They meet up with each other in Nam.

Hi, how are you. The book is really good I finished reading already. I do not know of another good war book. I read a lot of westerns. But I do know of a good WW2 movie it is called To Hell and Back. It is about Audey Murphy, he was a Medal of Honor winner. As to your question about the rodeo I rode both bulls and broncos.

Dear Tom,

This week we’re writing about the protagonist and antagonist…or the main character and another important character. The main character of this story Richard Perry is a very timid person at first when he meets Peewee for the first time on the train. He is a young African American just out of high school. The war has aged him greatly both physically and mentally. Wounds and fatigue will haunt him for the rest of his life while mentally he will have the nightmares and he won’t know what to do back in “the world”. His life is revolving around the war and he will be unsure of what he’ll want to do when he gets back to the states. The antagonist I think fits Peewee perfectly. He doesn’t have the story revolve around him like it does Perry, but he is still a big part of the book. He is always there for Perry. He has his back always and he is Perry’s best friend in Vietnam. Peewee is there to help keep the story rolling. Peewee is about the average age for the soldiers in Vietnam. He is still young and he like most of the rest of his squad is African American. Peewee is a bit crazy and by far overconfident. He has guts and a big heart. He thinks he can take out every Vietcong by himself. The only thing that may possibly set him apart from the rest of the soldiers is that he has found a true friend in Perry.

My week has pretty much been going good (except for the math test). I have done everything asked of me and have finished the book because I couldn’t put it down. I don’t want to spoil anything for you so I won’t tell you what happens. How about you? How have you been doing? My dad drives a truck and he is really starting to get busy with the farming really starting up. Are you getting busy too? Last question. Do you really like the book?

See you later, Michael
