The guns are silent

This poem was very sad and I can�t even imagine what kind of things he has to go though but he still had to suffer and see all his friends and comrades die in front of him. I thought the end was the best when he was with his granddaughter was the saddest part he mourned his friends but still was glad he wasn�t on that wall. I thought the title the guns are silent was very fitting because when all the guns stop lives are gone and when John Johnson had to watch his friends die must have been so hard to do. Now he understands better on how life unfolds and he is much stronger but understands how precious life is. Right now I am in English reading a book called the things they carried and this has a lot to do with this story. Reading both of the stories I realize that the events that occurred are heart breaking and hard to deal with. I think that in this story is eye opening to the fact that any person can go to war and die because in the begging they tell his childhood and watch him be good and he is just sent away and die.
