Ricks father tells him that he's nothing but a looser and that he's not a man. When rick informs him of his going into the army, Ricks father says "Good Rick, that's what you need to become a man, God knows you won't be one otherwise" (Hughes, 35). His fathers verbal abuse his whole life, is what pushes him over the edge and made him enlist in the army. "Maybe my dads right, maybe that will make me a man"( Hughes, 37)]]> 2017-05-01 18:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gritch0735/70kz2j9bsxy0/wish/169258336 gritch0735 https://padlet.com/gritch0735/70kz2j9bsxy0/wish/169836024 Verbal abuse is defined as a negative defining statement told to the victim or about the victim, or by withholding any response, thereby defining the target as non-existent.

The author expresses in the beginning of the book that Rick wants to find out who he is. When Rick enlisted in the army he expects to come back knowing exactly who he is and exactly what he wants. When Rick gets out of the army, he is wounded and realizes that he still doesn't know who he is. All he knows is that he has become someone's he is both proud of and ashamed of and while he learned new things, he still didn't find out who he was inside. The message the author isn't trying to get across is that sometimes you set out to do something and search and search for the answer to your question and come out of that situation with no answer but with something totally different. "And even then, Rick stool didn't know who he was, but he did find who he set out to be " (Hough,21)

The bigggest lesson I learned from Search and Destroy, is to not make huge rash decisions based on a current feeling because you could end up with the question even more unanswered than when you started.This defintly tought me to be careful with the decisions I make and to carefully thing my decisions through.  " I thought being in the army wouls help me to find out who I am but sadley, it only made me loose who i am even more so than before I en]]> 2017-05-04 21:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gritch0735/70kz2j9bsxy0/wish/170059422 gritch0735 https://padlet.com/gritch0735/70kz2j9bsxy0/wish/170247049 Hughes, Dean, Search and Destroy.
