The subject of The Soldier is set before the war has actually happened, written through the eyes of a soldier who has signed up for the war, but has not actually gone yet. The subject of The Fallen differs from this in a way that instead of concentrating on the grief that may come from the war, it concentrates on the grief that is. In The Fallen, the war has happened, and many of the men have died, young and fit, and everyone in England is mourning for this terrible loss. The imagery of these poems is mainly very different. The Fallen concentrates very much on images of the soldiers in the war, specifically those young, fit men who are now dead, and then to the mourning country of England, because these young men will never experience the joy of life.

When I get attached to a character that person always seems to die or something happened and that person is gone. In the book “Fallen Angels” they show the war through Richie’s point of view. He is a soldier mostly for economic reasons, not because he has a particular position for or against the war. It details both the boredom and life threatening action of the Vietnam War. All the soldiers think about what things are
Notice that Sarty has no real sense of his father's outrage. He sees his father's anger, but he cannot understand it or from where it comes. Sarty was not alive during or before the war, so his only frame of reference is his ten years in this sharecropping family. Sarty lives with his father, his mother, an aunt, two sisters, and a brother. Sarty is the only member of the family to truly act on his own conscience, and ultimately this separates him from the rest of the family.
There is nothing good about war, especially for soldiers, civilians and families. People feel the effects long after the war is over, because of the traumatic experiences. The worst acts of dehumanization during wars are the ill-treatment of the soldiers in World War One, the Holocaust in World War Two and the child soldiers of today. World War One was the deadliest conflict in human history with over 35 million military and civilian casualties. The soldiers bared the worst suffering through their experiences living in the trenches.

Wade Berrigan 5-26-07 The Moral Ambiguity of War In the novel Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Meyers, shows us many examples of soldiers struggling between making morale choices or staying alive. New soldiers look at other soldiers who have been in the war for a while as if they are sick soulless creatures killing everything in their way. Later we find these same characters that are doing the questioning doing the same thing. For example Perry wonders to himself how someone can die in front of them and no one remember it the following day. This shows his morals are still intact.
Others said it was to relieve the tension, and others said it was to ward off a dawn raid. Whatever the reason the first hour of the soldier's day became known, as "The morning hate." It was ear deafening! Today a cloud as dark as death covered all of no man’s land and the body’s laying across the long deserted death ridden field was unrecognisable many soldiers have been put through so much pain maybe not physically but mentally I think of all the family’s whose sons, dads, or husbands have died and I count myself lucky to be writing this diary now!
