From Baghdad, With Love

         In the book "From Baghdad, With Love" the main character is the soldier/ marine. He is a very correct man in many ways.
         One way is that he was checking a building for any explosives and all of a sudden he started hearing a ticking noise. So he held his gun up and out rolled a little puppy. He saw that the chain was making the ticking noise. So since it was a stray puppy he took him back to the compound and took care of him. So that was a good action that he did.
         Another good way of describing his good actions is that when he saw that the soldiers were stealing he made them repeat cadence  and said that they should not be doing this and they aren't real man for doing that. He also made them repeat things like "I am stupid I should've never done this" so I think that this shows very well that he is a very brave man and trustworthy as well as a good man that has done many good actions for the army and in his life.

            One of the books that I read over the summer was "From Baghdad With Love". It was a very interesting and heart warming book.
            Basically the book was about a marine that was in the middle of a war zone and he was searching in a building for any explosives and securing the area, when all of a sudden a small puppy pops out from the corner and plays tuff with him. But then the marine took a bullet and tricked the dog by making the dog think it was food. The puppy was very thin and he was full of flees and ticks. So the marine took the dog and brought him back to the base with him.
           All the soldiers said they were going to have to let him go but when they saw him bite on the shoelaces of a boot and saw how cute he was they decided to keep him around and all the marines took care of him. And as the time went the dog got older and was then trained to fight battles with the marine. And then they tell you little moments and things that happened thought out their life.
