Hour 1
War is a world all its own, so many see it and so many don’t. This paper takes two people in different wars and in different times. This paper will compare, contrast, and evaluate both of them to see their struggles and choices. This paper will take Shakespeare's Henry V, and Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carry. King Henry and Tim O’Brien are both young men going through war hundreds of years apart,but one is following and the other is leading, which leads to their struggles.

He still went on and won The Battle of Agincourt with flying
