Entry 1

The book I chose is called "I Am A Seal Team Six Warrior". In this book the main character is Howard Wasdin. Wasdin grew up in a house where if you did one thing wrong you were vigorously beat with anything his parents could find. He grew with a abusive stepfather because his father was nowhere to be found after his mother became pregnant. His stepfather was a truck driver. Wasdin family's house had a pecan tree in the very front of it. Wasdin job was to pick up all the Pecans that fell on the drive way. There would be times that his stepfather would come home very late at night and there would be pecans that fell off the tree after wasdin was asleep. His stepfather would wake him up in the middle of the night just to beat him for not picking up all the Pecans. When he turned 18 he went off to become part of the search and rescue crew. after completing his training he decided he wanted to become a navy seal. Wasdin went through harsh navy seal training. More than half of his class that started quit before the end of training . After training Wasdin was shipped off to fight during operation desert storm. In the red sea his seal team (seal team 2) captured a ship that was laying mines to stop any American ships from getting through. After operation desert storm he was sent back to the States. Wasdin believed wanted to join the top secret seal team six. He was competing with the best of the best for a spot on Seal team six. Right now I think his main conflict is with himself and the people he is competing with. I wonder if he is going to barely make it onto seal team six or if he will beat everyone else by a lot. Wasdin  is an amazing soldier but he isn't the best. I think that Wasdin's view on the world will completely change after he joins seal team six. I saw the movie "Seal Team Six" in that movie it showed the situations the seals had to go through. This helped me understand a little bit better what he meant when he described his training and his situations when he was out in the field.
