Response for Mr. Craven

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2006)

I believe that Mike went back to Vietnam to find Nick because before they left home to go to war, Nick asked Mike to not leave him over there. Would he come home dead or alive he didn't care. He loved working at the steel mill, he loved living in the trailer with Mike and more importantly he loved Linda and had proposed to her, before they went off to Vietnam. Mike and Nick were obviously close. They lived together and had a lot in common. Even more, they were in love with the same girl! So Mike promised that he wouldn't leave Nick over there.
Things that Mike had been doing started to irate Nick. However when Mike forced Nick to play Russian Roulette it had pushed him over the edge. He lost it. After he got on the helicopter and Mike Stevie fell into the river Nick couldn't remember his own mothers birth date. When Mike got back from Vietnam and Nick wasn't with him he couldn't bare to see his friends. They had a huge banner hanging outside the trailer and where waiting for him and Nick to come home. When people found out that Nick was still over in Vietnam everyone was upset, especially Linda. In a way everyone had a part in making Mike want to go back to get Nick, especially Stevie. Nick had been sending money to Stevie to help him out. When Mike found this out he went straight to Vietnam.
When Mike got back in Vietnam, he found the guy that convinced Nick to play Russian Roulette. The guy didn't want to really talk to Mike. I think it was because he knew that Nick was going to die that night. Mike didn't care he needed to find Nick and bring him back to their town so everything would be like they were before Vietnam. Unfortunately when Mike found Nick it was to late. He would be bringing Nick back dead.
