I will compare and contrast two stories I have read. Drumbeats and Bullets and The
Drummer Boy of Shiloh. These will both have two young boys. These young boys go on an adventure. Here are the statements I will make. In Drumbeats and Bullets a young boy enlisted at fifteen. After running away this young man was 11 and later on he decided to join the army. His name is Johnny Clem and he was a drummer boy.

The general is basically saying that he thinks that there is going to be a lot of casualties. They both eventually fought in the war. They both put their lives at risk when the armies needed them most. They both helped lead and keep the group together and did extra deeds while not fighting. There were a lot of differences and similarities, but there bravery really
