april morning to black hawk down

U.S. battle tactics have changed throughout history. From the revolutionary war to the deserts of Afghanistan. From marksmanship training to physical training. Soldiers have been advancing in every single way. By reading the two books, "April morning," and "black hawk down," its easy to pick out the similarities.
both books take place during war. One in the revolutionary war, one in Somalia. April morning takes place in the Lexington concord, wile black hawk down takes place in the gulf war. The operation "restore hope" was to feed and protect a city's rights. When the U.S. pulled out war broke loose, so the army was sent in to capture the evil person. The Lexington concord was a bunch of men without training fighting for their rights.
A character named Adam joins the militia to fight off the upcoming British forces. In black hawk down a delta squad is in a operation and immediately after touchdown the squad is under fire. The Lexington Concorde started with a shot from the British to the Americans. In both books the characters find themselves under fire and running away. When under pressure, the human is pushed to the lowest point of his/her training. In both books, the characters have to overcome this and defeat the enemy to save their lives.
the books are very different because of the timeline. In the revolutionary war the military was a militia, a none properly trained army. In black hawk down they had tactics, support, and much more. Warfare has changed because technology has been advancing rapidly. From muzzle loaders to automatics, cannons to missiles technology has been getting smarter every year.
Booth books are great battle stories and set a picture perfect image of what it was like at that timeline. If you like history on the April morning would be a great book, if you more like modern stories black hawk down might be the best option out there. Both are great stories and similar because they take place in historical battles.

Another year without a home was about to pass. Sara hadn’t had a home since 3 years, her forth year mark would start 3 weeks from thanksgiving which was today. Thankfully Sara had a million dolor diamond which was her only chance of being able to live again, she has been searching for a market and no one could afford the diamond. She tried pawn shops, jurally stores almost anywhere, but no one had the money. She has heard of popular diamond stores but those where far up north. After 3 years she still hadn’t found a ride up there, she had asked family but they didn’t have much money ether.
Thanksgiving was at her mother’s house like normal. When she arrived she looked like a wreck. “Can I barrow your car?” Sara asked her mother.
“What for? Its thanksgiving, sit down, relax and eat some turkey.” Her mother said
“Mom you know I don’t like turkey. But I need money and I understand that you can’t give me some. But I have I diamond that’s worth a lot of money and.”
“How much?” her mother interrupted
“One million dollars.” Her mother was shocked that she possessed such a thing. “But as I was saying I was searching for 2 years since I found it and I need to sell it, but no one can afford it, but I know a place and it’s really far away.” Sara said
“When did you find it?” Sara’s mother asked.
“That’s not important. What’s important is the money it’s worth, I need it, I want to live in a home again. So can a barrow it or not?”
“You know what, I’ll come with. Well have a road trip!” her mother said.
It was a long drive to the store, they passed many interesting things. When they got to the pawn shop they got more than they asked for. Sara had bought a home for herself, shared with her family and donated. Sara had gotten a successful job and married.

drama

At the end of the day Sheila was walking out of school and saw Bradley and Alex kissing. Completely thrilled, Sheila pulled out her phone to share the news. This was huge because Alex was already Dating Ryan. It wasn't long before it went on Face book. When Sheila logged on to her blog it was all over the wall. She noticed that brad gave her hate mail. It was then when she realized she really messed up their lives, all 3 of them. Next day at school none 1 of the 3 people was there and that was Ryan. He told me thanks Sheila thanks because he didn't want to date anyone if there where cheating on them. That was all anyone wanted to talk about it. Sheila felt some justice, but mostly guilt. It was that day she really felt drama sucked.
