2. The report must be a minimum of two word-processed pages.

3. The report must include an organized, clearly written answer to each of the questions.

1. What is the significance of the title?

The name “Warrior Angels” was given by Lieutenant Carroll to American soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War. When soldiers are killed in action, they become “Fallen Angels.” I think this title fits the book well because the soldiers came into the war as innocent teens that are not even old enough to vote yet.

2. Is there an attitudinal change in Richard Perry during his experience in Vietnam? Relate his feelings from the beginning to the end of his tour of duty.

There is an unquestionable change in Perry’s attitude during his stay in “country.” Richard is not even supposed to be involved in battle. He has a bum knee. His medical profile is supposed to land him a desk job and he is not expecting to fight at all. He has an easygoing attitude with a hint of American pride. When Perry’s profile does not turn up,

He was immature and had no idea of what war was really like. And now with all the dying going on around him made him curious about the man he would be if he didn’t die himself. By the end of the book he has seen all there is to see of war. He was wounded twice, seen his own friends killed with his own eyes, and was almost killed his self. He was not the same 17 yr. old boy from Harlem. He was mature and experienced. In his last few months in country, he was wondering why he was even there in the first place. When Peewee and Perry were hiding in a VC spider hole he began to think again. He was thinking of back home and realized none of it was real.
