dialectic journal books 6 and 7

Book 6

"'Kill one thousand and the rest will crack. One thousand and their master will put the remainder out. Can you do that for me, men? Can one of you kill four of them? Can you give me one thousand?'" page 318, Gates of Fire

I cant believe that a person can think like that. That sounds so barbaric and mean. I would be terrified of him.

Book 7

"Before I could move , Dienekes was there, the huge bronze bowl of his shield covering Alexandros .' get out!' he bellowed to all above the din. He hauled  Alexandros to his feet the way a countryman yanks a lamb out of a torrent." Page 387,Gates of Fire

This is real nice. I take it that the go by the saying "no man left behind." The way that these men protect each other reminds me of how relatives protect each other. 

book 6 = chapters 24-29
book 7 = chapters 30-34
