In the story "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh" by Ray Bradbury there was a quote that reminded of me what I do... ALOT: "Beyond the thirty-three familiar shadows forty thousand men, exhausted by the nervous expectation and unable to sleep for romantic dreams of battles yet unfought, lay, crazily askew in their uniforms". Whoah, this line is so important in my opinion because it made me understand how Joby was feeling before the battle even started. I loved the part that said " unable to sleep of battles yet unfought". Joby and all the other soldiers are worried and afraid about the future.
I can toootttaaalllyyy relate to Joby, being worried and scared. He wasn't sure if he made the right decision to go to war, and sometimes I think that i make all the wrong decisions too. Im not insecure, I just like thinking twice... And sometimes thats not enough. Joby is a war an now he regrets it, I can imagine myself in a situation like that, definitely.
I want to be a doctor, but then I think nah I'm not that smart, or something like, there's other easier jobs... But the how Joby get's his pep-talk from the general, i remember my motivation to be a doctor which is my sister. Shes diabetic, I want to take care of her so its easier for her to stay close to healthily & I get motivated just like Joby. :)
