He care about his fellow soldiers and hurts when they die. He also had this thing for a girl named Martha.

"Jimmy robbed his eyes and said he'd never forgive himself for Lavender's Death"

"He would slip away into daydreams, just pretending, walking barefoot along the jersey shore, with Martha, carrying nothing." 

This quotes show Jimmy's caring side for his soldiers but also his weak side for Martha that he gets over later in the story.

"Kiowa was a fine human being, and how he was the kind of son that any father could be proud of."

"as a result his friend Kiowa was dead"

I chose these quotes to show how people felt about Kiowa and how good of a person he was.  ]]> 2016-09-23 17:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/robinson_s231/wgc479wcvhvj/wish/126081744 escobedo_j1 https://padlet.com/robinson_s231/wgc479wcvhvj/wish/127038125 Norman is a humble man. Who had trouble finding a purpose in life.

"Speaking of Courage was written in 1975 at the suggestion of Norman Bowker." This shows he didn't want Kiowa to be forgotten and wanted people to feel how he did.

"Eight months later he hanged himself... There was no suicide note, no message of any kind." After the war he had no reason to live because he couldn't fit in. So he decided to kill himself and to make it hurt the people he loved as little as possible.

"I'd pulled enough night guard to know how the fear factor gets multiplied as you sit there hour after hour." He explains that just the little things have a huge affect on a soldier. How you feel cornered up and can't escape.

"You learn, finally, that you'll die, and so you try to hang on to your own life." Soldiers realize that even if they don't die now they will eventually. So they try to keep sane and hold onto the past.
