Character Development

This is a piece that describes the growth in the character Perry from the book Fallen Angles

As Perry is waiting in the bush for the Vietnamese solders that he is about to ambush he thought back for 1 second and remembers the horrifying moment where his friend died by a land mine when they were out on a patrol to look for Viet Congs. That moment is the reason he is still in the war at that moment where he could be back in the US with a bad knee.

Perry a former basketball player from army just got drafted to go out to Vietnam to fight in the war. The doctor that checked all of the solders before they went out to war knew that Perry had a medical condition with his knee that he hurt while playing basketball but didn’t have the report that they needed to let the solders stay in the USA. The army officers thought that he was good to go because nothing was on his profile yet that would let him stay in the USA. That was the start of the peak of the development.

The last major part in the book was when he got shot and got to go back to the USA. When the doctor treated him he saw that he had a bad knee and should of never been in the war and all that Perry did was smile.
