A Warrior's Heart
Becoming a Man of Compassion and Courage
Author, Eric Greitens
I would describe Eric Greitens as a strong and courageous person because of his experiences with the Navy Seals. It takes a lot of guts to be a Seal. He is also very selfless. I can make that inference because in the book he traveled around the world to very poor places like refuge camps to help the poor. He helped by teaching English classes, taking kids to a soccer game, and helping kids stay away from crime.
Eric Greitens's Vacation Items
map of asia
He traveled to Asia mainly in the story, so he would need a map to find his way around. "...where to go, among all the places that fired my imagination-I chose China." "in the summer of 1994, when I was 20 years old, I volunteered to go to Croatia to work with the Project for Unaccompanied Children in Exile."
water filter system
In most of the places he went, the water was bad and unfiltered, so this will clean his water and keep him from getting sick."... survivors stayed packed together in an area with unhygienic latrines and muddy water, a scarcity of food, and an abundance of disease."
soccer ball
A lot of kids like soccer in Bolivia so he used that to make connections with the kids he was helping. "Jason and o walked out to a dirt field beside the home where a pack of boys, some barefoot, kicked around a ragged brown ball" "When I mentioned the outing (soccer game) to a group of older boys, they started shouting and jumping around the room."
