Book to real life


In the book The Battle Grounds, Jonathan goes off to war like everyone else. The only difference is the he is only thirteen years old! And that plays a big role in the book and in away similar to real life back then.

As like many if not close to all men back then went off to war. Along with in the book Jonathan makes many sacrifices just like in real life. In the book Jonathan had to see multiple people get shot and killed. He also had to burry some people because he knew it was the right thing to do. Jonathan also gets captured and he is there for almost a week.  His men ended up killing the people how took him as hostage. In addition to the book he had to do all about war which most of it happen.

As well what happen in the book, which is he had to learn how to use a gun. Because back then the gun where over 8 feet tall. Jonathan also had to learn how to use the gun. He had to find out how to reload fast when you’re getting shot at. He also had to hind may times from the enemy soldiers.

In real life, many of the things that happen in the book happen in some kind of way.
And they all used the same equipment. Maybe not what the people said but they had very similar experiences. But none of them were good. In real life they all made many sacrifices. Most of the soldiers had to see many people meaning there friends and maybe family get shot and killed. And in the war I would think that some people would have gotten held hostage.

Some supplementary things that happen in real life is that many of the men have never shot a gun before. And then if you have never used one that means that they had to get used to the 8 feet gun. They also had to get used to going in a war formation.

In the end the book The Battle Grounds is very similar to the real world revolutionary war. They all had to deal with the same terrible, depressing things. Because just imagine your bother getting shot right in front of your face, how you feel? Once again the book is over very similar to real life war.
