2-3 The main character in the chapter Stockings is Henry Dobbins. Henry Dobbins is a bigger set guy who takes pride in fighting for his country, he feels like a hero. The item he carried throughout war was his girlfriends pantyhose because it was his "good luck" charm and would also take him to his spiritual world.
The main character in Style was a fourteen year old girl with black hair and brown skin. Who Azar and Henry Dobins saw dancing outside of her house with no shoes and her eyes closed on her toes. They always wondered why she was dancing maybe it because her families house got destroyed and now the family is dead and burnt badly. Physically nothing was being carried in this chapter.
The main character in Night life is Rat Kiley. A few words about Rat Kiley that Mitchell Sanders has been saying was he "lost his cool" while he has been working on the platoon which only moved at night for two weeks they have been living the night life.The routine was simple during those two weeks, sleep during the day and at dusk put their gear on and move out at night, they worried about getting cut off from the rest of the unit. Rat Kiley finally hit a wall he couldn't sleep during the day instead he would picture how the guys would look dead even without arms. Rat Kiley noticed he was losing his mind he ended up shooting himself the next morning, he took his boots and socks off, and doped himself up, shot himself with a round right in the foot.
4. The type of bravery that the stories convey is that in style the little girl doesn’t care about what Azar thinks of her dancing.
The type of bravery shown in night life is that Rat Kiley was not happy with the idea of going to Japan and shot himself in the foot.
The type of bravery shown in stockings is that Henry Dobbin’s girlfriend broke up with him and even though he showed sadness for a little while, he eventually just used his stockings for comfort.
5. Some men love war because like the narrator describes Dobbins in the chapter Stockings, “Dobbins felt the pull of superstition, and he believed firmly and absolutely in the protection power”.
6. The style of writing in all of these stories the narrator explain what is going on in the present.
7. I think that Henry Dobbins has changed a lot. Henry Dobbins has changed because before he was a man that gave short worded responses, had no patience, and wasn’t understanding. Now, he stood up for the little girl that was dancing when Azar was making fun of her.
8. What I can use to make my presentation a solid, coherent, in-depth, and challenging presentation is use the book for my information. Considering, half of the class has not even purchased the book yet, it will be challenging for those students because sometimes information from the book isn’t on the internet.
9. I will ensure that the audience participates attentively throughout the presentation by making the presentation 100% visual and not lecturing my classmates. Also by making up a game such as a crossword puzzle relating to my chapters.
How the activities that my group uses will benefit the other students is that with more hands on activities it was get their attention as well as keeping them interested. Before we present, everyone should read chapters: Style, Stockings, and Night Life.
