Independent Reading post: Purple Heart


The book that I am currently reading is called Purple Heart. It is about a guy named Matt Duffy who is in the war and gets injured but doesn't remember how. So far in the story, Matt is trying to put together any information about what happened to him so that he can go back out to fight. If he doesn't remember enough things, he won't be able to go back out to war. Matt has trouble remembering what his friends told him about what happened and gets frustrated sometimes being that he's a solider and can't even remember what specific things are like a hammer. But the reason why he gets even more mad, is because he doesn't even know what happened. And he starts to feel guilty because all he remembers before being in the hospital was seeing a young Iraqi boy get shot, and he thinks that he has something to do with it.
