(Harper Lee) This is a very powerful and almost
inspiring quote from the novel To Kill A Mocking
Bird by Harper Lee. It depicts my very idea of the
word courage. I also believe that courage is when
man learns from his mistake and goes at the
problem again, if he has a second chance. Atticus

Johnny Got His Gun was not what I expected it to
be. I thought it would be about the battles that
were fought throughout the war. Instead it was
about a man who had been severely injured by a
bomb. The entire story takes place with the
protagonist in a hospital bed. He remembers his
childhood and thinks about the war. He cannot see
or hear and has to rely on touch to know whats
going on around him. This setting was very
different from all the action I expected from a
war book. 9; I guess its ...
