13.Journal Entry - "In the Field"

You can't help but notice that everyone thinks they are to blame for the death of Kiowa. Jimmy Cross thinks it was his fault because he stationed the soldiers in the field even though he had a gut feeling that it wasn't right. However a young soldier also thinks it was his fault because he was discussing a picture of a girl and he turned on a flashlight to show Kiowa, it was then that the field started to explode. Bowker also felt it was his fault he died too because he couldn't pull him from the mud due to the smell of the field. I think that everyone goes through life feeling some sort of blame for something that they probably didn't have a whole lot to do with. Everything happens for a reason and pointing fingers doesn't resolve anything.
