Thought Questions:

1)What was the difference between the fight and the glorious battle Daniel longed for?

A: There is a BIG difference, the glorious battle Daniel wants will never happen because he wants them to be able to defeat them in 15 minutes and have them all be gone, and the fight they had was hard, and they almost lost Joel.

2)Is war ever truly glorious? Why do you think people view it that way?

A:I don’t think that war is ever glorious, and I think people make themselves believe that because they don’t want to think about how horrible it is.

3)Was the fight worth the cost?

A:I kind of think it was and I kind of think it wasn’t, because either way one man would’ve been lost.

4)How might the fight have been avoided?

A: They could’ve avoided it by not going to save Joel.

5)How would a captain in Daniel’s position decide which man to lose? How would you decide? What does Daniel’s decision reveal about his character?

A:I think they would think who they need most and then decide if that man is valuable enough to make up for one or two men that might get killed in the fight. I think that I might do the same thing, but if the one who’s in danger is my friend then I defiantly would. I think that on the inside of Daniel he loves all of his friends.
