Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2006)

Mr. Craven this is Caitlyn Block 3 Day 1 #4. Why does Mike go back to Vietnam to find Nike? Be specific with this one and use examples.
In the beginning of the movie Mike promises to not leave without his friends even if they were alive or dead. Mike returns to Pennsylvania without either of them. His first show of guilt is when he sees his welcome home banner and tells the taxi driver to go past and Mike rents a hotel room for the night. Mike settles into his life again. Mike also feels some guilt when he goes deer hunting after returning from his first trip from Vietnam. Mike misses the deer even though he has a clear shot of it. Not long after the hunt Mike goes and visits Steve. Steve is receiving money from Nike that is when Mike knows that Nike is still alive and decides to go after him.
There are a few reasons behind why Mike goes is back to Vietnam. First he can never have a relationship with Linda knowing Nike could still be alive and Nike is engaged to Linda. Mike also feels guilty that he is back and Nike is not when we promised that he would return with everyone.
