Ginger Nut

I feel like a lot of good connections to Bartleby and the Iraq war have been drawn together so far. One that I think is a very valuable connection and one that we can relate to is Ginger Nut and ourselves. Reflecting on the earlier posts there was an overall majority that said they don't care about the war and the information they do know is usually from a bias source. Ginger Nut is a twelve year old apprentice to the boss whose sole purpose in the story is to do what he is told without question. I feel in a way that the youth of this nation can relate to Ginger Nut. We accept most of the news we receive on the war whether by news papers, t.v, or just word of mouth as truth. Similarly Ginger Nut receives orders from all four of his superiors : The lawyer, Turkey, Nippers, and even Bartleby without question. Overall the youth of this nation, just like Ginger Nut, are just trying to absorb what they can and learn what they can so they can be sufficient individuals in the future.
