the killer angels #7

comments
*I'm half way done with the book and I'm still confused and I'm just waiting for the two sides to meet and fight and see who wins.
*i would think it would be easier to fight when its not raining because you can see but it doesn't sound that way with them.
*since they are getting closer together i would think it would be harder to fired cannons without both sides getting hurt.
*i just realized that Lee and Longstreet are on the same side.
*now that i know who's on the same side now I'm wondering about who is the enemy.
questions
*when did Lee and Longstreet meet up because i thought he was going another direction?
*to them would they rather fight in the rain than in dry weather because they always same the mist and rain are marvelous?
*do they give the enemies point of view?
*I'm kind of confused now so who is the enemy?
vocab
*nugatory-of no real value; trifling; worthless.
*piddling-amounting to very little; trifling; negligible
*rein-any of certain other straps or thongs forming part of a harness, as a check rein.
literary terms
*imagery- i could picture all those cannons just sitting there with even more men standing beside it.
*imagery-i could picture Longstreets face they said it was without expression, and looked dark and gray even though it was light out.
overall statement
*this was about everyone deciding what place to go to next,Chamberlain is going to the center line and Lee and the are still going south way south.
