Tyler DeLuca
Ghosts of War
Ryan Smithson
Challenge
Pg.20



1. Right now in my book Ryan just experienced 9/11 and he is fresh out of high school and him and his girlfriend went to ground zero with her in New York city. They have been talking about she has been having nightmares of 9/11. Also Ryan is debating what he should do with his life if he should go join the reserves or go to college but he decides to join the reserves.





2. So far i love this book because i like war stories because they are intense and cool which keeps me reading the book other wise if the book is a good read i don't understand it and get confused.



3. The theme in this book is making decisions because so far all it has been about is deciding about joining the army or going to college and what he should do about his girlfriend.

4. My favorite character Ryan because he is handling pressure very well so far. He also is a hard working decent kid that gets the work that needs to get done done with little procrastinating which is as good quality in people that is hard to find.

5. My least favorite character is Ryan's girlfriend because i think she is controlling him and he is letting her and she might be stressing him out also which might not be good for him because it might make him make a bad decision and she might influencing his decision.

6. I think Ryan will get shipped off to Iraq and learn a lot of new things about the army and he will be scared out of his pants when he gets there i think this because he was on the fence if he should join or not because he was kind of scared.
