Fallen Angels
what are each character's reason for enlisting when asked?
Perry, Johnson, Label, Jenkins, Peewee
Perry, Johnson, Label, Jenkins, Peewee
Perry- He can't afford to go to college (his family doesn't have the money), so he enlists believing that the war will be over before he has to shoot a gun (there are many rumors that there is impending peace).
Jenkins- Joined because of family pressure/ his father was a colonel and wished his son to join the military as a career.
PeeWee- Poor/ just wanted to have all of the things he didn't have in the slums
Johnson, in his own words:
"If a man give me a job back home I wouldn't be doing this job over here." (Page 34)
Lobel-I haven't been able to find Lobel yet. I'll check back after I catch up with some of these other questions.
Fallen Angels
Lobel enlists in the army because he wants to convince his father that he is not a homosexual. Sorry it took me so long to locate this!
