Did you committee the crime?

How would a person feel if their son or daughter was killed in a war? Would that person take revenge? Well in Old Milon’s case he does. Before the first murder that he committed, Old Milon I so nice and kind to the Prussian Soldiers. Milon does this so people wouldn’t think that it was him that did committee the first murder he was planning. When Old Milon does murder the soldiers, he acts s though he didn’t do anything the next day. This is because; he didn’t want to look suspicious, and have people automatically assumed he was the person who did it. When he plans the next murder, he steals the clothes off the soldiers so he could look like one of them. Milon does this because; he wants to be able to trick the other Prussian soldiers onto thinking he needs help. As he goes near them on the horse Milon screams “Helf! Helf!” just to get there attention. Once the got there attention he took out both his saber and revolver, and kills the two men. Curing the time he was getting asked the questions of weather he did it or not he was acting cool and calm. He did this so he doesn’t seem like he has had any part in the three murders. Towards the end he did confess and tells them “yes it was me,” he only did it to get back at the Prussian solders for killing his son. Then they threaten to kill him, and Old Milon said he doesn’t care. He would die for his dead son because he loves him. Mr. Old Milon only did this for his son so he can get back at the soldiers. Would a person do the same for their son or daughter?
