The major character of the story is Henry, a American pilot. The minor characters are the school teacher, Madame, Pierre, and all of the maquis he has met. The minor characters were the reason Henry got home. Madame had him stay with him for about a week. Pierre and his family had Henry stay with them at their farm for about a month.

I would disagree with Henry going to the war and not finishing college. If he went and finished college, he could get a good job and help pay for everything at his farm. And he also wouldn't have the nightmares that he has about Pierre and World War II. All he was trying to do was impress Clayton. That was a mistake. Clayton, in my opinion, loves Henry deep down inside. He just doesn't want to show it like Lilly.

This story changes my thinking in World War II. It does because the pilots in all of the planes, from all of the countries, they didn't even know who they were bombing. They went to where they had to go to bomb and they came back. Not even thinking of the lives they are taking. The civilians had to go into cover because they didn't want to die by bombs. Marco -This is so much better. All it took was a little more time and effort to answer the questions. You probably could even find more evidence to support your responses!!! Don't you think it's sad that Henry thought he had to impress his father or 'prove himself' in order for him to think he could 'earn' his father's love? Not a very good reason to enter a war! But I agree with you; his dad does really love him. He just has a difficult time showing his feelings.
