In life sometimes we don't appreciate who we are and the people in our lives. The story " The Drummer Boy of Shiloh" written by Ray Bradbury, is about a boy named Joby, and he learns to appreciate being the drummer boy at the Battle of Shiloh. He also learns to love the drum. He didn't appreciate the drum before, but then someone made him change his mind about the drum and being the drummer boy.
In the beginning of the book, Joby hated the drum. I don't think he wanted to have that drum at all. I don't think he didn't want to be the drummer boy either. On page 51 of the short story, he said,
Joby hated the drum, but then someone came along and made him appreciate the drum and being the drummer boy. He made Joby change his feelings by telling him he has a important role in the war. That someone who did all those stuff was The General. On page 53 of the short story the general said
Throughout the book, Joby learned to appreciate being the drummer boy and his drum. In this story, Joby had some help learning to appreciate the drum and being the drummer boy. Not everyone has someone in their lives that will help them learn. Some people are lucky and some are not. Joby was lucky in this case. He had the general. The general gave Joby a speech about how the drummer boy was a important role in the battle because he is the one that leads the army. The beat that Joby plays on the drum controls the soldiers, if he plays fast, the soldiers would go fast, if he played slow, then they would go slow. At the moment, when the general told him that, he changed his mind about the drum and being the drummer boy. He LOVED THEM! I would like the meet the general, if he was actually real because he seems like a very helpful person who would be giving you advice whenever you need it. And he would always be there for you when you need him. Plus he would help you learn new things like he did with Joby. At the end of the story, Joby doesn't think the drum is worse than a toy, he thinks its much better than a toy

"But without these last, the boy felt his family move yet farther off in the dark, as if those great prairie-burning trains had chanted them away, never to return-- leaving him with this drum which was worse than a toy in the game to be played tomorrow or someday much too soon."Joby said the drum was worse then a toy. As you can see, Joby didn't really appreciate/like the drum. But i think it was because he didn't know the real meaning of the drum. He also misses his family, maybe the reason why he doesn't appreciate the drum and being the drummer boy is because hes homesick. Being homesick can make you change your feelings about things. And thats probably why Joby hates the drum. That's my opinion.

The general saying that made Joby love the drum. It made him feel better, special and important. Joby now feels like he is part if the army and he belongs to be with them. Thanks to the general, Joby like the drum and likes being the drummer boy."You boy," the general said quietly. "You are the heart of the army. Think about that. You are the heart of the army. Listen to me now"
