Ambush and Style

Ambush -- In this chapter, Tim O'Brien is still upset about the guy he killed, telling his daughter when she asks if he killed anyone that he never killed anyone. He flashes back to the scene of the young man he did kill and how he panicked and pulled the pin on the grenade and killed him. Seemed like a repeat of of the last chapter, just emphasizing O'Brien's guilt again.

Style -- In Style, there's a Vietnamese girl dancing around a bunt down village, dancing with her hands covering her ears and moving her hips and taking minute steps while she dances. In the house she is dancing in front of, her family is in it, dead from the fire. Azar starts to mock her dancing, and Henry Dobbins threatens to throw him in the well if he continues mocking the girl, telling him to "dance right." THis chapter just made me like Henry Dobbins more and realize that I absolutely cannot like Azar, because I cannot see the good in him.
