I have read the book Soldier X. This book is written by Don Wulffzon. What this book is about is that this kid from Germany named Erik got drafted into Hitler's army in World War II. Then the next thing that happend in the book is that it goes through the training they have to go through and then the ride they have to take to the front where they are fighting. Then when they get to the front of the war they get to there trenches where they are fighting and they are waiting for their turn to be on the front. So when it is there turn to be in the trenches on the main front of the war the Russian front takes over theres and the Germans pretty much get dominated. So then when the Russians come to the trenches where the Germans were at Erik he was faking that he was dead until the Russians went away and then he switched his clothes with a Russian kid named Alexander. Then the next part of the book took place in a Russian hosptial where Erik was getting treated. Then Erik met this girl there named Tamara and she was one of the nurses. Then when the Germans are coming to attack that Russian hospital Erik and Tamara leave there and they were trying to make it to America.
Question: So what would you do? Would you fake dead and then take an Russian army guys clothes to surivie or would you fight for your country?

Well I have read the book and if I was in this guy's position I would have done the same thing. He is more Russian than German, because his parents were Russian and he speaks fluent Russian. Plus, he was forced to join the German army, and if he were to fight, the fight was already over, the Germans had been beaten and he would have definitly died.
ReplyDeleteI think that I would do what the main character did, try to survive as long as I possibly could, by doing what ever was nessicary. You can only but your self at risk for so long until you have to put your saftey into check. I think that he did the right thing by putting on the Russian clothing.
ReplyDeleteIf I was in the main characters situation I would have faked dead and took the russians cloths to survive. I think he did the right thing by taking the guys cloths because if he would have tried to fight I think he would eventually have been killed. I would just do whatever I could to survive for as long as I could.
ReplyDeleteI would try and stay alive and might even try what he did but as soon as i was alone i would try and find my own army i would never help the other side i would rather die then betray them....
ReplyDeleteI would also do what the main character did. I think in that type of situation I would do just about anything to stay alive.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think underpressure, that would seem most appealing.
