Discussion, reading of extracts and dramatisation explore the theme of war in the novel. Initially unconcerned about the war, Ewan is pressurised into joining up. He returns to Chris coarsened and bullying. In his death he takes on the role of tragic hero, and only then does Chris come to understand him and the reality of war.
