dialectic journal

gates of fire
"with 65 pounds of bronze armor on " i think this is very striking because that is a lot of armor to wear for a fearsome soldier going to battle. i don't know how they can get around with all of that on. p.21

"i could feel the crown of the helmet tear up and off, shearing half my skull with it. The bottom lip of the eye hole had opened the muscles beneath the brow so that my left eye was sheeted with blood." there are some really intense scenes in this book . The description is SO good that it feels like its happening to you as you read the book. p. 64


sometimes it seems like this whole thing is a dream, because its always talking about all these injuries that probaly would kill you the first time but appearently not.
