Courage- The men at the beginning of the movie who were running up to the beach showed a good example of courage. They were running into intense machine gun warfare.
Manhood- When private Ryan could not leave his company.
Self-preservation- Soldiers hiding behind stuff and not fighting because they didn't want to die.
Disregard for Human Life- When the German soldier stabbed the American soldier in the heart when he was defenseless.
Noise and Silence- When it was noisy, there was always fighting going on. When it was quiet the soldiers were usually resting or planning there next attack. Right before Tom Hanks dies, it is silent.
Light and Dark- They usually rest during the night or travel and fight during the day when it is light out.
Clean and Dirty- When they first start the war on the beach, the soldiers are clean and when they are done at the beach they are bloody and dirty.
Youth and Maturity- Upham was a coward all movie and was a youth. At the end he finally shoots someone and is mature about it and has no regard for human life.
The Dead Soldier- When Tom Hanks dies at the end, it shows courage by him to die in the battle and it also shows how much the soldiers in the regiment that were still alive cared for him. They
all stood around him and cried and were very upset. They all respected him.
The Flag- The flag signifies what all the soldiers that died gave there lives for. They gave their lives so men and women of the USA could have freedom.
