Jonsey: likes the blues Marla: likes to joke around They relate to Robin by being in the same troop and having different personalties (oppisites attract) I do not think they would be friends if they were not in Iraq.

Isaac evidence.

Jonsey is laid back, likes the blues. Marla likes to joke around. they both are in the same army squad as robin.no before because they live in different parts of new york; yes, after the war . on page 169 it says ''i didn't mind marla getting on my case. i would have minded a few weeks before, but now it was cool . like family.''

Have anything to say about Marla?
CHRISTIANBELL on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:51:43 PM
What about Marla
DYLANFISCHER on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:54:41 PM
what do you think marlas personality is?
JULIAFAN on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 9:14:32 PM
What do you think about Marla's personality and how she relates to Robin?
MEGANQIANG on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:42:45 PM
Jonesy is the Blue's Man of the military. He respects people's opinions and knows how to turn any moment into a blue's moment, which is good. Marla is the kiddish sort of girl. She knows how to be funny without being flirty. Marla's personality gives any horrible object it's compliments. I don't think that Birdy, Jonesy, or Marla wouldn't be friends if it wasn't for Operation Iraqi Freedom/war because if they weren't forced to be together and help each other, they probably would abandone each other because they all have completly different ways of thinking. But since now they're friends, they're are almost family.

CHRISTIANBELL on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:55:48 PM
EXELENT
GABRIELPARSONS on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:35:29 PM
I agree with you but I think they will be freinds because they will be used to talking with eachother and hanging out with eachother.
GABRIELPARSONS on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:37:02 PM
Evan you could have just said.... What about robin
EVANJOHNSON on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:44:27 PM
I think that jonsey is a calm, colected guy that has a different thinking on most of the things that happen. Marla is a very Gung-Ho, confident, ready for anything type of person. I dont think that they would have been friennds, because really, they are nothing alike. the war and stress realy brought them together in spite of their differences.
 NOAHVILLAROSA on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:45:47 PM
friennds isnt a word but friends is
ISAACLIEBER on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:45:50 PM

NOAHVILLAROSA on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 11:58:20 AM
Yeah what about Robin/birdy evan what about him?
ALEXANDERBARTO on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:45:58 PM
Jonesy: Likes blues, laid back Marla: She is confident and she likes to joke.They relate to Robin because they are all at war. I think that if they weren't at war they would not become friends because on pg. 169 it says I didn't mind Marla getting on my case. I would have minded a few weeks ago but now it seemed cool. Like family.
 NOAHVILLAROSA on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:47:16 PM

CHRISTIANBELL on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:36:22 PM
Noah and Megan's responces just got back fired!!!
JULIAFAN on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:46:43 PM
Jonesy is a person who really likes the blues and gets along with Robin. Marla is a person that is sort of outspoken and likes to tease Robin a lot and she was the person that started calling Robin Birdy. Jonesy relates to Robin because at the start of the book he says he will watch Robin's back if Robin watches his. Marla relates to Robin because she tells him about her life and is his teammate. I think Jonesy may have been Robin's friend because they really become close, in the beginning of the book they talk to each other at night. I don't think Marla would have been friends with Robin because she made fun of him and he really minded that until they were in action together and got to know each other better.
EDENGUSTIN on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:47:42 PM
Jonesy is a funny guy who is kind to Robin and loves the blues.pg 10 saving my money so I can open up a blues club. Marla is a strong character who doesn't like to show herself but is sencetive when sad things happen. Marla and Robin relate when something terrible happens they both react with negative emotions. pg.206 'You okay' I asked.'No,'she said. Jonesy and Robin relate when they are both relaxing. pg.116 Hey, we're in the same army, bro. I don't think they would be friends if they didn't go to Iraq.pg.5 Corporal Charlie Jones,Stone Mountain,Geagoria...Corpral Marla Kennedy Dix HIlls, New York...Private Robin Perry, Harlem, New York.... Corpral Marla Kennedy Dix HIlls, New York
DYLANFISCHER on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:53:36 PM
Jonesy is more laid back and not so serious and Marla is is more like a kid and likes to joke around. They relate to Robin because they are in the same squad as him and I don't think they would be friends if they did not meet in the army squad because they face the same things and all have different personalities.
 ISAACLIEBER on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 11:58:29 AM
are there any other ways they relate to Robin?
GABRIELPARSONS on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:38:57 PM
No Isaac there isn't
MATTHEWMARTING on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:56:08 PM
i also think that they wouldn't have been freinds if they didn't go to iraq, because that was where they met, for jonesy i also agree that he just likes yo joke around,and uses the blues to lighten the mood. i also agree that marla is the shadowy type, like me.
 ISAACLIEBER on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 11:59:39 AM
how are you the shadowy type?
JULIAFAN on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:00:35 PM
How do they relate to Robin?
JOSEPHCONSTANTINO on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:56:46 PM
jonesy is a man of the blues and likes robin. marla has a good sence of humor and is always busting peoples chops. I think if they werent in the army theyed still be frends also i think that they are alike because they all are sad when someone dies or gets injured.
CHRISTIANBELL on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:57:12 PM
Jonesy is someone that likes blues and is laid back.

GABRIELPARSONS on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 1:57:29 PM
jonesy likes the blues marla likes to fool around and make fun of people and they relate to Robin because they are in the same troop. I do think they will be freinds when they're not in Iraq because they will be so used to talking to eachother and they'll know them alot.
CHRISTIANBELL on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 at 7:17:52 PM
Marla is soneone who likes to joke around. I think they wouldn't be friends if they were not in Iraq. Jonesy and Marla relete to robin by being in the same troop.
 ISAACLIEBER on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:00:24 PM
are there any other ways they relate to Robin?
NOAHVILLAROSA on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:01:52 PM

CHRISTIANBELL on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:29:54 PM

CHRISTIANBELL on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:31:26 PM
they also relate by having a different personalities
SKYLACAITO on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:36:02 PM
Jonsey is a calm person who loves the Blues. Marla loves to joke around espically with Robin. I dont think they would'nt have been friends if they werent in the war together. but they need to stick together or they will all go down. And i also think that Robin has brought them together because at the begining of the book Robin and Jonsey said they would watcyh each others back. so they became good pals. And Robin and Marla becane buddys because Marla trys to kid around with Robin so they become o.k friends.
 CHRISTIANBELL on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:43:15 PM
chek that grammer and spelling.
TYLERANIA on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:39:03 PM
jonesy is a guy who like the blues and wants to open blues club. marla is the kind of person who messes whith people. i dont think they would be freinds if they were not at war so it like a blind date you get set up with some one you dont know. jonesy js like robin thoght they both go to church some times that is marla i think is not like robin very much but a little bit a guess
 CHRISTIANBELL on Thursday, May 03, 2012 at 12:44:38 PM
why did you say js????????????????
SANAPARIJA on Sunday, May 06, 2012 at 9:37:21 PM
Jonesy is a blues guy. Marla is strong and funny. They all connect by being in the same troop. I think they would b friends even if they were not in the same troop. I don't think there is anything in the book that says that they are friends because they are in the same troop. Marla and Robin aren't great friends but they do kid around with each other.They are both real sad when something bad happens. Jonsey and Robin are friends because Jonesy said that he's got Robin's back at the beginning.
