In this Scene I was able to understand a bit more of the Characters personalities. I enjoyed it becasue it gave me a better understanding of Henry's family. and I felt really sad when I found out that Henry was killed after being shipped to Korea. "He was shipped across in a destroyer and defended the 38th Parallel until he was kille din Inchon in 1952, being posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal Honor'' I will always believe that Henry was a very strong person and he always had confidence in himself. And after everything he was very very strong. I admire his personality. And hia family was always in support and by his side:)
Question: Did you think that Henry was going to die? And how did you think he was going to die?

Scene 5: The Press
In Scene 5 the Press was very straight forward. i dint think that it was confusing what so ever. it was basically about the Press interviewing Lt. Edwards and they ask him questions regarding Henry Reyna. Lt. Edwards was the first person to arrest Henry Reyna. he says "You can't change the spots on a leopard" which i tihnk means that regardless of what has happened to Henry he won't change his inner person. He might change appearance but the way that he thinks and feels will never change. Lt. Edwards doesnt believe in the change that Henry Reyna can accomplish.
