the killer angels 2

comments-
1.this book has a lot of imagination when the people speak like i don't know if they trying to paint a picture or just trying to sound colorful.
2.this book doesnt have alot of action yet i just wonder when they'll start fighting.....!
3.i liked when longstreet was like "good lord, george, whats that smell," and pickett was like "thats me aint it lovely."
4. since the war is in 4 fights i wonder if one side will win more fights than the other or if one side wins them all.
5.i wouldnt call this a holy war like longstreet said becaue its suppose to be a bloody war.

questions-
1.why General Hill believe that Pettigrew is not a professional?
2. was the spy from chapter 1 the same spy in chapter 4?
3.what is an inside straight?
4.what kind of accent does longstreet have (because he says not 't' all)?

vocabulary-
1.cavalry- the part of a military force composed of troops that serve on horseback
2.infantry-soldiers or military units that fight on foot, in modern times typically with rifles, machine guns, grenades, mortars, etc., as weapons
3.brooding-preoccupied with depressing, morbid, or painful memories or thought

literary terms-
-personification-"he saw the star fall"
-imagery- i could picture all those people sitting around the fire laughing but getting frustrated by all the bugs

overview statement
1. in this part it was talking about how longstreet and the other guys saw a infantry coming and the wanted to prepare so they sent another spy out they didnt know what order to give to the cacarly yet so they just stood by for a while until they got closer.
