The first section states how the writer can remember calling their mother from the hall in the basement. This gives me an image of Scout or Jem calling Atticus.

Caden McCloughan Holland English 12 11 September 2016 Journal Entry: The Stone Boy There were several different themes that came to my attention in The Stone Boy as Arnold experiences quite a drastic change take place in his family.

They were not enemies, they were not criminals, they were nothing earthly now, nothing but black shadows of disease and starvation…
When everyone thinks about war they cannot picture in their mind what it would be like out on a battlefield with a bunch of good friends, fighting side by side. They cannot picture the horrible and nasty sights you will see on a battlefield of men dying, their bodies being shot everywhere or being blown to pieces. Maybe from a movie they might have seen a battle or war, but it’s not even close to the same. They are people that you care for and love that have just been killed, live and in front of your face.
