I think sometimes it can also feel like they are going too much into detail and it can get boring.

But I also found weird how in the accident Pete escaped and left Louie basically to die when the plane went down/crashed into the ocean, it really shocked me in a way but I also understand that he was also put in a life or death situation. I feel like one of his teammates is going to influence something bad happening to him or maybe one of his superiors. ]]> 2021-05-26 12:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561207764 bryan_pan https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561218246 I think the author talks about how many accidental deaths there are because it just comes to show how unpredictable and hard it was during the war, one moment you could've been training hard for the air force and seconds later you could have been dead.]]> 2021-05-26 13:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561218246 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561224710 2021-05-26 13:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561224710 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561228419 I think the author did this because she wants you to understand that everyone that is fighting and dying is a person and that they should be seen as one and not just another death in the war.]]> 2021-05-26 13:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561228419 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561228721 I think the author does that to introduce more people to the book and to add more plot.]]> 2021-05-26 13:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561228721 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/1m6z87u5kzbty8b6/wish/1561230377 I was shocked at the fact that planes were really fragile and there were a lot of accidents.
