Midnight and I'm Not Famous Yet

I personally did not like this story. The language was really hard to follow and some of the word choices and sentence formatting were hard to understand.

This story was narrated by, I would say, and uneducated person that likes to tell old-time war stories. He talked about how he joined the war just because he didnt have anything else going for him except for loving his wife so he joined the army to help his country. He tells a verry good story but, for me, to understand it, I had to keep rereading the paragraphs to fully grasp his motive. The action and description that was given in the begining of the story was not followed through with making the rest story a little less intriguing as it continued.

What i did like about the story though was the part about him talkin to Tubby and becoming famous. First he starts off crying and feeling guilty for killing people and then wanting to be killing by the rockets being shot in the air. He really explained his feelings well about how he was afraid because he went from a giggler to a killer.
