First off i think that there is some similar characters from the book. the tall soldier or Jim- i think that the Sargent is like Jim because he gets hurt and he is still running and fighting and then he keeps getting shot and finally when they are across the bridge he dies. Henry (the youth)- is like upham because he is young and immature and then when he finally shoots the guy he kind of becomes mature.
Light and Dark- no matter if it is light or dark the battles and fighting still do on.
Noise and Silence- the captain was in his own world a lot and it got quiet and he would just watch everything around him. when Wade died they were all silent because he was a part of them just like Caparzo and now they just keep loosing men. Its noisy anytime in battle, its never really quiet.
Clean and Dirty- when Stanly was eating the dirty apples, also they are always dirty their skin is always almost black from dirt and when someone is hurt they just put their hands all over in the blood trying to save the person and their hands get covered in blood.
Youth and Maturity- everyone looks up to the Captain and respects him because he is mature and knows what to do, he has been through a lot. youth is when Upham lets so many people go when he could kill so many and keep his fellow men alive.
Dead Solder- When Wade as calling for his mom and also when Caparzo was reading the letter he wrote for his father.
The Flag- it was in the cemetery at the beginning and then at the end, it might represent honor and battle but I didn’t really understand.
Courage- when the sharp shooter, took left when no body would he was stepping up. When Ryan didn’t want to leave his “brothers” and go home, he wanted to stay and fight.
Manhood- Upham hasn’t reached manhood yet, he is always hiding while battle is going on, and he never shoots, only once at the end.
Self-preservation- when Upham hid behind the cow while everyone else went up and fought and one man died. When the one soldier from Boston, NY started to disobey the captain and walk away because they let the enemy go.
Disregard for Human Life- when they wanted to kill the enemy p.o.w because he killed Wade; it was against the rules. Also just anything in battle they don’t care who or what you are, you’re the enemy so you must die, and that goes for the Americans too.
