Private Peaceful 8
In this book every chapter we have one paragraph that is totally different from the rest and the title of that paragraph is always to do with a time reference example: twenty-eight minutes past. I believe that this paragraph is also narrated by charlie and that as the book is in relation with world war one that he is in France fighting. In the present story Big Joe had just been found and everyone is celebrating even the strict and uptight parents of Molly and to a add the cherry on the top the Colonel offered the Peacefuls a lift. He made a statement in the car, "They'll soon need every horse they can find,Mrs Peaceful and every man too."In the book the war in France has started coming up in conversations but till now it has not reached the village yet. A big moment in Thomas life is about to occur when he enters the house after a long day at work and sees Molly crying in his mothers lap. Mrs peaceful announced that Molly would be staying with them because her parents there her out. The reason why she was thrown out is because she is pregnant with Charlie's baby.It was a huge shock for Thomas as he still has feelings for Molly and now any hope of him and her being together is lost. The news spread about Molly's baby and everyone was ashamed of her behaviour they to married but under the condition that no bells no gyms or any celebration was to take place. I feel pretty bad for the Peacefuls as they do not have luck on their side and everyone is ashamed of them, they also lead a pretty isolated life. Thomas did not want fight or be confronted with his brother so at work he did other jobs and more errants to leave the farm. One day he left to go to the market and saw upfront the war for the first time. He did his errant and he heard a parade coming and a lot of noise so he followed it around the corner. There he saw all the soldiers in their splendid scarlet uniforms all marching, arms swinging in perfect timing with shining boots. They were singing along with the band. I believe that Charlie must of been overwhelmed. The book is a good book and I am waiting to see when the next plot twist will occur.
