Authors Note: This essay is a prediction of what I think will happen next in my book Fallen Angels.
Have you ever been separated from your friends when you are out late at night, and been forced to find your way back to them with only the coldness of the night to comfort you? I predict that Peewee and Perry will become very familiar with this feeling later in the book. The only difference is the stakes have been heightened for them. They are in the middle of the Vietnam War and they will have to find their way back to base without being found by the Vietcong.
One reason I think that Perry and Peewee will get separated is because they are good friends, but don't really mix well with the rest of their group. This makes them more likely to get separated together because in most books when people get broken off from the main group they are usually are best friends or hate each other. Since Perry doesn’t hate anybody if he gets separated it will probably be with Peewee.
Another reason they will most likely get separated because they don't always do as they’re told. Also they are scared of being killed. Since they are scared of being killed they may run off and flee the scene if they think they are going to die. Or if they thought the army life was so hard and dangerous that they needed to run away they would probably tell each other and run away to the nearest city or village.
There are many reasons that Perry and Peewee could run away. No matter how they get separated in the end it’s all the same. it’s just them and the cold cruel Vietnam Jungle .
