Hudson Woo’s Reviews > Walking Wounded > Status Update

Archetypes: The archetype that best fits my book is "The Warrior" because they are driven by courage, bravery, and duty. In my book, the friends are traumatized by fear because one of their best friends died through the war. Which is leading to internal conflict and rage. They are moving forward and getting revenge for Rudy.

Summary: The main characters in this book are Morris, Rudi, Ivan and Beck. The story is about them grappling with a friend's death and its secret and is in Vietnam. Also these events take place in the combat zone and happens because of their friend, Rudi dying in action with the inciting incident being Rudi's death. The story is told in a first person perspective.

Connections: A connection I have with this book and another is Percy Jackson because both Vietnam, walking wounded and Percy Jackson are about war. They are both fighting against an enemy and going into battle with them. They also both have multiple main characters. This reminds me of a time when me and my best friend playfully fight each other and see who wins kind of like what's going on in those books.

Characterization: The main characters, Ivan and Morris in my book are very determined to achieve their goals that they have set for themselves. They are currently in Vietnam, in the time of the Vietnam war. Ivan wants to stop the war and Morris wants to take Rudi home. Morris said that it was his pledge and Ivan said that it's up to him to stop the war.
