Drummer boy of Shiloh

The war of Shiloh was one of the bloodiest wars known , so what does it have to do with and drummer boy ?
During wars people would want a drummer boy to get them hype and ready to fight , in this story the general of this war choose all new soldiers who never had experience to join his army .But he didn't have an drummer boy. The main character Joby thought it was a good idea for him to be the drummer boy of this war but wasn't quite sure .For example when Joby thought "me thought the boy ,I only got a drum , two sticks to beat it , and no shield", this made think that Joby felt like he was no one and he didnt believe in himself .
Towards the end Joby started to feel more confident and started believing in himself more . He started to understand that he is not the only ongoing through tuff times . For example when the general said " you want to cry some more , go on ahead. I did the same last night " , this made Joby shocked and made him understand that there is hard problems in the world but if you believe in your self you can face those problems .

  1. I think that evryone has gone through something like this. Were you are going through this big stage where they don't understanding what they are good at. But then they have this big break and they finally figure it out. This pushes you to do more.
