One theme for this book is to follow your heart. While Ryan was in High School, 9/11 occurred and changed Ryan's life. This changed his life because it inspired him to join the army. If 9/11 never occurred, Ryan would have never even thought about joining the army.
Another Theme for this book is to never give up. While Ryan was in Boot Camp training for Iraq, he had many struggles. These struggles included missing his family and girl friend. Ryan also has to wake up early mornings without much sleep.
One last theme this book has is to never say never. When Ryan was fighting in Iraq, many things happened that would cause most people to just want to give up. Ryan didn't just face the 130 degree weather in Iraq but he faced the constant threat of Iraqi attacks.
My overall feelings over this book is that I couldn't believe that this was a nonfiction book. I also felt that this book teaches the reader to never give up and to follow your heart. I would recommend this book to all readers who are interested in the war in Iraq and for people who like to read Nonfiction books.… (meer)
