World War 2 Heroes – Weekly Reading Response Blog

3. There was a guy named Baker in my book and he went to a battle were they were loosing the battle and they were being shot at by 50 calibers and lots of the men ran away, even the commander ran and hid. Baker was mad that his commander wasn’t helping his men so he took a stand and ended up saving most of the guys lives. So by hearing this I could tell Baker was brave and caring!

5. In my book there was a dude named Urban and I predicted that he was going to be badly wounded and still end up saving the day! In my book Urban was caught under fire from all over the place. machine guns were being shot from all different directions and Urban ended up being shot in a number of places like the leg and hip, but still kept fighting and moving forward during the battle.

11. I think a possible thing that went on during world war 2 that wasn’t mentioned in my book was that maybe there were many people/family’s that were being insistently killed during that time even though they weren’t involved.
