When he came upon the last child he saw that the boy was not crying but was full of courage and the oracle grew afraid so he took his own life instead.

While at camp, Greyson overhears some cafeteria workers having a suspicious conversation about the observatory. One of the cafeteria workers warns Greyson “You will not tell a soul about whatever you heard.” Greyson decides to lead a group of his friends to the observatory to investigate the legend when they discover the cafeteria workers and some other men pretending to be astronomers and hiding a secret. The fake astronomers convince the kids to return to camp, but Greyson remembers the last thing that his dad told him, "Do the good that should be done" and he works with his camp counselor to plan a return trip to the observatory. Greyson assigns each of his friends an important role in the plan and under Greyson’s leadership they manage to sneak into the observatory and steal two keys that the terrorists need to launch a missile hidden inside. Like a true hero, Greyson leads the terrorists on a great chase back to camp, “The bullets hit, blashing chunks from the trees all around them. Bark rained on the hood and their heads; sharp splinters stung their faces, forcing Greyson to stomp on the brakes and throw himself into the back of the cart, dragging Sydney with him.” and he remains brave and daring even when he ends up being taken hostage. Finally, when the FBI arrives to deal with the terrorists, Greyson and his friends use their best sport skills one last time to stop the attack
Joel confusedly looks around and behind him he sees a scared Sarah shaking him awake, Tommy just outside of the truck, and directly in front of him, he sees a family being attacked by somebody infected, which jolts him awake and back into reality. With the car now being sideways after the crash, in order to get out, Joel uses all his strength and starts to kick the windshield in front of him until it shatters. Joel carefully crawls out then reaches in for Sarah, avoiding the shards of glass on the ground and still bordering the windshield. Just as she starts to climb out and stand up, she falls over and complains that her leg hurts. A noticeably worried Joel grabs his revolver from his jean pocket then hands it over to Tommy and demands he protect them. Joel picks Sarah up and with her in his arms, they begin running for safety. As Joel sprints through the streets with Sarah in his arms and Tommy just a few feet in front of them, chaos erupts everywhere. In any given direction, there are either citizens or infected individuals dashing through the streets, with dozens of people being attacked along the way. In addition, there are explosions and many cars accidents with one car even driving straight into a gas station, causing it to blow up. Sarah at one point looks at the gas station then alarmingly utters, “those people are on fire,” to which Joel tells her not to look, prompting her to close her eyes and
* Duncan, Vinny, and Wayne are all friends working - or wasting time - the summer before senior year in high school. Duncan is the soul, Vinny the brains, and Wayne the muscle. At the end of the previous summer, Duncan tried to save a drowning girl and failed. Not being a hero has really affected his life, particularly his relationship with his girlfriend Kim.

For Finny and Gene, the summer session at Devon was a time of blissful happiness and a time where they allowed themselves to become utterly overtaken by their own illusions. The summer session was the complete embodiment of peace and freedom, and Gene saw Devon as a haven of peace. To them, the war was light years away and was almost like a dream than an actual event. At Devon, it was hard for them to imagine that war could even exist. Finny and Gene forged the Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session and acted out in the most wild and boisterous ways. Missing dinner or being absent from school for days to go to the beach did not even earn them a reprimand. “I think we reminded them of what peace was like, we boys of sixteen....We were careless and wild, and I suppose we could be thought of as a sign of the life the war was being fought to prese...

There is said to be a strange man on a rampage running through the town, he is believed to be infected with a new virus called H1N1, please stay inside for your safety, we will keep you updated as much as possible. Police are on the lookout for Juan Carlos Jr.,” a picture of a Hispanic man with red eyes, dark brown hair, and missing teeth popped up on the t.v. “please if you see this man refrain from contact, he is dangerous, I repeat he is dangerous.” Everyone looked at each other, “oh god” John said. “Lock the doors,” Katherine said. So they locked the doors and kept the news on to keep updated. A few hours past and the fear subsided and so did any buzz they had gotten. The news comes back on and they still hadn't found the guy when all of a sudden the tv went off and so did the lights. It was totally dark. “Friggin Christ, you gotta be kidding me” Jacob uttered. “I got this. the generator is right outside”, Gabriella said and started towards the door, there came a knock. Everyone froze. Terror filled the
One of the major conflicts that is presented in these pages is when Scout punched Walter in the nose at school. The text states, “But when I was rubbing his nose in the dirt Jem came by and told me to stop,” Scout was punching him because she thought she was better than him and she did not stop to think about his perspective. This conflict can help convey the theme of coming of age because, when Jem was telling Scout to stop she was once again getting into trouble for not “stepping into their

As the boys witness death and mutilation all around them, any preconceived notion about the indoctrination, "the enemy" and the "rights and wrongs" of the conflict disappear, leaving them angry and perplexed. The story is not about heroism but about toil and futility and the divide between the idea of war and the real life and its values. The selected passages are full of violence and death and loss and a kind of perpetual suffering and terror that most of us have never and hopefully will never experience. Both authors ability to place the reader right there on the front line with the main character so vividly, not just in terms of what he physically experienced and witnessed All the complicated, intense and often completely numbed emotions that came along...
