Fallen Angels is a fictional Vietnam war story, although the author was a soldier in Vietnam. Because of this, you can get a good look on what it's really like to be a soldier. Even though I like to read these kinds of stories, I don't think I would ever join the army, unless, like the main character Perry. He was forced into the army because he lived in a poor family, and fighting the war would let him make some money. I have not finished the book yet, so I don't know what becomes of him after he gets back to the World, as they call real life in the book. Perry is a made up character, but I think he is how the author saw himself during the war. As a matter of fact, I think all the characters were based off real people. Over all, this is interesting book, and I am enjoying reading it.

Why do good people do bad things? Mabey it was a mistake, mabey they had good intentions in mind when they did it.In the book I'm reading the main character almost kills her best friend just so he wouldn't get killed by the bad guys. At the same time, why do bad people do good things? Did they do it to pretend they are good? Or mabey just had a change of heart. There could be many reasons. You just weren't thinking, you did it for the greater good. But the answer to this question is because we're human. We can't be prefect, we all make mistakes. But we can also bounce back from the bad things, and make things right.

My reading

I just finished reading the second book of the Hunger Games Trilogy called Catching Fire. At first when I read the book, I thought Catching Fire was like catching a ball. Then after I read the book, I figured out that it actually meant catching fire like a house would catch fire. This book was very unpredictable and somtimes, you wouldnt know the meaning of somthing untill later. You may look at something with one perspective, but in ten years, you could have a whole diffrent thought about it. The book was realsitc to a certain extent, with all the emotions people had. It was like something you would expect to see in real life. Everyone thinks the main character is some sort of super hero but really she just wants to live her life.
