- Meade was mentioned by a lot of people. He must be a really important person.

- Some books introduce the character when they first appear in the story but it takes a while in this book to introduce the character.

- Kilrain reminds me of Lennie from Of Mice And Men

- Bayonets is sharp daggers attached on the tip of the gun to attack close range enemies.

- Captain of the 150 Maine soldiers was really disrespecting Colonel Chamberlain


4 Questions

- Who exactly is Kilrain and why is he/she calling Chamberlain?

- What does fight the “second” mean?

- Is Battle Of Gettysburg included in Civil War?

- What will Chamberlain do about the lazy mens.


3 Vocabularies

- Bleary: blurred or dimmed

- Eerie: uncanny, so as to inspire superstitious fear

- Mutineers: revolt or rebellion against constituted authority, esp. by sailors against their officers


2 Literary Terms

- Personification: When they describe how Chamberlain looks like, they use boyish dignity.

- Imaginary : Chamberlain “gloomed”. He gloomed.


1 Overall

- Chamberlain the Colonel of 250 mens woke up with a surprise letter from the new commander Meade 

which we never heard about saying that there is going to be an extra 150 mens joining their force. But he 

also mentioned that if they don't behavior well , Chamberlain have to execute them.
