Imagine yourself in a land of mystery, alone besides you and your crew members. It’s five verses about 500 sometimes. The chances of you surviving are very little. In the book Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Meyers the only thing keeping you alive is your crew, because you know that they got your back. The theme of this book is friendship and trust and how they impact survival, because without friendship and trust, they all would’ve died.
Say Perry wouldn’t have friends that wouldn’t have been true friends. Perry would’ve felt more nervous and made more mistakes. He probably hadn’t have lived throughout the whole war, but he did. If he wouldn’t have trusted his crew he wouldn’t have lived. Even in the book Perry says “if these guys didn’t have my back, I’d be dead right now”.
The other theme that the book could’ve been is survival. It could be survival because Perry has to survive in Vietnam. Without survival, well he wouldn’t have survived. In the book Perry says survival is key over here in Nam. He said as of right now all he cares about is survival.
Overall I think the book is both, because without the first theme the second theme wouldn’t have happened because without his friends he wouldn’t have survived.
