Restrepo Blog Assignment

1. Some scenes that bring the book, Fallen Angels, are in the beginning when they find out that they are going to the most dangerous valley in Afgahnistan. It is like the beginning of the book where everybody is scared. 2. Also, when they lose Restrepo in a firefight. That is like Jenkins dying first in the book.
3. The scene with The group bonding reminds me of Peewee and Perry becoming friends.
4. When they go to eat, that makes me thuink of: When doe sthe fallen angel's squad eat.
5. When they start swearing in fire fights, it reminds me of Peewee swearing in the book.
6. In the movie they talk about what they will do when they get home, Perry talks about Kenny's life and what he will do when he gets home to harlem.
7. The scene with the men teasing the other guys is not like the book, the book doesn;t have much comedy and not many jokes.
8. The scene with the men in a firefight is not like the book because the book has a lot of secualr fighting and not just shootoffs from their bases.
9. The scenes with the black men are not like the book because there was a racist in the book and there is not one in the movie  that we know of.
10. The scene with them losing there second man in a battle is like when they lose Brew later in the book.

I think that the book, Fallen Angels, and the movie, Restrepo, showed that the concept of war is a 95% negative exerience. The other 5% is meeting new pople, going to new places and the feeling of protecting your country and your peers. I would consider those things positive. Some exaples f this are that Perry in the book, canges ad becomes more confident and that will help him thogh out the rest of his life. Another example is that the menin Restrepo seem to connect t one another and they find interests in eachother and they enjoy that. An example of that i when they tease the lunch man tatmakes geat food. They tase him and hit him for fun and yuo can tell they ar enjoying themselves. The reasons that the war is so bad is that, close friends die, (Restrepo or Jenkins), you can get very badly injured like many soldiers in Korugan Valley and you are away from yor home and your family for a long period of time.
