Becoming a man

Authors note: this is a very strong subject to write on I like strong topics

             Loss of innocents is nothing to play around with. in two books that I have read the outsiders by S.E Hinton April morning by Howard fast. It is a very real issue for young kids that are about to be men before their time.

            In the story April morning Adam is forced to lose him innocents. By joining the war he becomes a man witch he really wanted and he earns the respect of his peers.His mother doesn’t want him to join the war but him and his father wants him to join. In the book the outsiders ponyboy is force to lose his innocents. By his friend killing someone and they have to go on the run. By going on the run they lose their innocents buy having to live in a abandoned church.

            The main characters are the same in the way that they are forced to grow up faster than most kids. They are forced to be men before they are ready to and make grown up decisions before they are legally adults. They have both witnessed murder ether in war or in a gang fight which is a tragic event and many give them repressed emotions

They both have their innocents taken from them in two different ways. They still get there innocents stolen in some kind of way weather they wanted it or not. In April morning he joined the army and lost his innocents. In the Outsiders ponyboy got his innocents stolen when his friend killed someone he did not want this to happen but it did.

            Loss of innocents is nothing to play around with. In April morning the innocents was not taken but sacrificed for the good of his town. In the outsiders the innocent was stolen. I hope I have explained well enough to give you a good idea of how serious loss of innocents is.

War makes a man

 authors note: this essay is about the main conflict in my book April morning
 The main conflict in my story is the revolutionary war. In the beginning of the book there was a small conflict in that he was debating with his mother on joining the war. The main conflict is not really the whole war as much as protecting his cite the battle that takes place in his cite is a very famous battle the battle of Lexington. The whole battle as well as the book takes place in about 36 hours. The conflict is resolved by the red coats (the British soldiers) are defeated in the battle. it goes back to almost normal. In a sense Adam from joining the war has become a man and is now more respected by his piers.

The War

 Authors note: I think he should join the war because it is the right thing to do

            In my story April morning there is a kid named Adam he is about 16. He and his dad are joining the revolutionary war but his mother wishes that he would not join. She is afraid that he will get hurt and die. But Adam wants to join because he feels it is the right thing to do and his dad lets him.

First of all war is very gruesome it can leave impacts on people and make them do thing that they would never do. Vietnam was one of the most gruesome wars in America’s history. It made people go crazy and not able to sleep and get bad alcoholism.

Therefore His mother thinks that he should stay out of the war because he is not as old as the other people joining the war. She does not want him to die and or get hurt in the war. She thinks he is not mature enough for the war and is not liking the way people talk about the war. They say that they are going to count how many lobsters (British solders) they will kill.

Also he wants to join the war because he thinks it is the right thing to do and it is just in his mind. He also wants to impress the girl that he likes and wants to marry her after the war. His father thinks it is a good idea. He thinks it will make him more mature and harden him up it might also make him a stronger person.

            Should Adam join the war? I think that he should join the war because it would be a good learning experience. It is also the right thing in his mind. He also does not want to make his mother mad but if he does join the war he will impress his father and the girl he likes. In all I think he will join the war because it is right thing to do.
