Chapter 17

Mac says, “If you’re old enough to watch good men die, I guess you are old enough for wine.” Do you agree or disagree? What makes a person more mature—age or years of experience?

I agree. If the kid is mature enough to handle watching someone die, he is mature enought to have a glass of wine. I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. Either way, I think Charlie is mature enough to do so, because basically for his whole life he has been taking care of himself, and is mature enough to do that too.

I think that if he is mature enough to be at war he is mature enough to drink wine.

Great comments. Not that I am condoning under age drinking or anything, but I think that you are right. Sometimes people are very immature when they are older because they have not really experienced life and all that it has to offer. I think you are right in saying that experience can make a person more mature than age ever can.

Don't forget that you can ask questions of each other, and of me. This is meant to be a discussion! Take advantage of the opportunity.
