Write your ideas on your WIKI page. This should be an ongoing assignment throughout the week. As you read more chapters, add more information. Your insights can be written using bullet points, using short sentences, or writing paragraphs - your choice.

The major characters of this story are Henry and Captain Dan and the minor characters are Patsy, Henry's mom and, Henry's dad. One thing about this book that i totally disagree with is the fact that Henry became a pilot in the war because his father thought that he would never be able to do something in his life. I don't think that he should do that just because his father didn't believe in him. This story changes my thinking because it shows what really happens in the war, and not just what we think it is. It takes us into the actual war, and shows the courage and mentallity you need to be a pilot in a war this brutal.

Connor - Looks better!!! Although you've named several of the major and minor characters, you haven't explained how they affect one another. You need major characters throughout any novel, but minor characters interact in specific ways to create dynamics.

I completely agree with you on the reason that Henry went into the war. How sad that Henry thinks he has to 'prove himself' to his father! Do you think his father realizes that Henry feels that way? or that his father doesn't believe in Henry? I'm guessing his father loves Henry very much but doesn't know how to express that to his son.
