Summary: The Journal of Scott Pendleton Collins
Comment: The Journal of Scott Pendleton Collins, by Walter Dean Myers, is a great book about a World War 2 soldier, stuck in the middle of D-Day. He lands on Omaha Beach, and has to run for his life. He watches his friends die, but with a few lucky breaks, he survives the horror. Scott then must continue marching, to capture the German headquarters of St. Lo, and Vire. I deeply enjoyed the book because as it teaches you of the war, in particular D-Day, and of the horrors that the young soldiers had to go through. They had to survive through the death of friends, the death of family, 'Dear John' letters from their girlfriends, and the constant sound of death and explosions around them. They also lived like savages, without sanitation, or good food. The author of The Journal of Scott Pendleton Collins, Walter Dean Myers, is a well known historical-fiction writer. He has another book out about the Vietnam War, entitled Fallen Angles. Fallen Angels is a book similar in style, also focusing on the hardships that the G.I.'s had to persevere through. I strongly recommend either of these books to anyone with an interest in war and/or historical-fiction. The are great books that can teach you many important things!

Summary: The Journal Of Scott Pendleton Collins
Comment: I read the story The Journal Of Scott Pendleton Collins by Walter Dean Myers. The book is about a boy named Scott who fights in World War 2 in Normandy,France against the Germans.Scott feels that he deserves to be killed but then he doesn't want to be killed. Scott writes letters to his mother about the war. His mother writes back. Scott meets Bobby Joe and fights in the war with him. Scott gets wounded in the knee. He thought it was partner but it was him. Luckily Scott gets healed.
I liked how Scott was being tough and didn't know that he got shot. I also liked how the author put alot of action into the book when the Americans fought the Germans.
I think the message that the author is trying to tell is that you have to be tough and strong to be in the war. Scott was tough when he got shot because he thought it was the person around him that got shot. Scott was being brave and knew his side would win the war, and they did.

Comment: The main charater is ScotT P Collins.He is a ninteen year old boy who is eager to go fight the Germans in Eroupe.Ithought this book was good but it does take patience to read.It starts out very slow.The book takes on the outskiris of the front line during the Americans part of Operation Over Lord [D-Day] .The main conflict in this book is the Germans invasion of Poland,France,Russia and north Africa.
The authers style of writing is journal entries each chapter is a new entriy.This book is part of a large series of books called the Dear America.My recommendation for tis book is for some one with a lot of time on his or her hands.This book is historical fiction so it tought me a lot about World War Two.
