Thereof, how did brew die in fallen angels? If a character's associated with religion, they're probably doomed. That's right— Brew dies. He screams to God when he's hit, and dies in a medical chopper while holding Perry's hand. The other soldiers take his death really hard. Beside above, what are sappers in fallen angels? Jenkins is a skinny, awkward guy who arrives in Vietnam with Perry and Peewee.
He's the opposite of them: while Peewee and Perry joke around, acting like they're not scared to go into combat, Jenkins seems terrified. Kenny is Richie Perry's younger brother. Richie is protective of Kenny and uses his army wages to pay Kenny's school fees.
Kenny is not as smart or as athletic as Richie, but he looks up to his older brother. The patrol is more terrifying than Richie had ever expected, but goes smoothly until the very end. Just as they are reentering their camp, Jenkins steps on a land mine, and is killed instantly.
What is Richie like in fallen angels? Richie is a seventeen-year-old high school graduate from Harlem. Though he is smart and ambitious, his alcoholic single mother cannot afford to send him to college, so he joins the army to escape an uncertain future.
Who is Brunner in fallen angels? Brunner is the jerk of the platoon. He says things that are racist and homophobic. But he begins to worry about the fact that he is still a virgin, feeling inadequate because of the hypersexualized stereotypes of black men. During the ambush, Richie fires blindly into the darkness. Lieutenant Carroll is hit by enemy fire and dies shortly after they reach the hospital at Chu Lai. Jenkins is a soldier who arrives in Vietnam with Perry and Peewee and is assigned to join them in Alpha Company.
He is killed by a mine as the squad returns from their first patrol. Overall, Fallen Angels is symbolism for the dead soldiers that war produces and the loss of innocence that fighting causes. On the trip over, Richie befriends Judy Duncan, an army nurse, and Harold Gates, a cocky young black soldier from Chicago whom his friends call Peewee.
The plane stops overnight in Osaka, Japan, and due to another bureaucratic mishap, the soldiers are forced to pay for their own dinners and sleep on benches in the airport.
He buys a souvenir for his younger brother, Kenny. When he finally arrives in Vietnam, Richie is separated from Judy Duncan, but is assigned to the same barracks as Peewee.
Though the sound of artillery in the distance makes him anxious, Richie is somewhat comforted by the fact that the camp in Vietnam looks exactly like his basic-training facility back in Massachusetts. All the other guys in the neighborhood thought I was going to college. Lying in bed, Richie reflects that he joined the army in part to earn money to send home to Kenny, and in part to avoid tough questions about his impossible dreams for the future.
Over breakfast the next morning, Peewee tells Richie that he likes the army because for the first time in his life he has exactly what everyone else has—the same clothing, shoes, food, and so on. A large African-American soldier named Rings approaches Richie and Peewee and asks them to cut their skin so that they can all become blood brothers. He explains that they need to stick together as fellow blacks. Later in the day, Peewee and Richie speak with an experienced soldier who further confirms the rumor of a coming truce.
Richie writes a letter to Kenny, telling him that the war is going to end very soon. After killing time at the base for ten days, Richie, Peewee, and a terrified young man named Jenkins are finally assigned to a camp near Chu Lai.
On the truck headed for their new squad, Peewee says he is not afraid, but Richie can tell that Peewee is just as frightened as he is. Jenkins begins crying, which calms Richie, who feels braver by comparison.
