Perry's Climax

Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers

Pg. 122 - 190


When I read this portion of the novel. I found that Perry was in the the middle of Nam covering a cemetery. He gets to the point of him talking about his love or should I say loveless life and how he told no one about it. He get into a battle and his CO is shot. He was afraid for his CO and his self. But he made it out, while thinking if he had actually killed a VC. During the second mission he had to stake out, he was so mind blown that he forgot his task of the Claymores. Later on Perry was at his last limb. His life was about to end to a gun at his chest. Clicks when off but no bullets came out. Perry got into a brawl and killed his first VC.

Could Perry have died if it wasn't for the fact that the VC clip was empty, or was if fate to see that Perry survives the war?
