Walter survived, but now he's lost somewhere in France and his life will start again there, until...
I kinda know some French but i stopped studying it three years ago.
The characters belongs to Lucy Maud Montgomery
4th May 1920
-Happy birthday to me- he said.
He was alone, he spent all this years alone, he wasn't fighing anymore, the war was over. Walter Blythe has survived the war. He wasn't happy but, at least, he was alive.
He was living in France since that day. After che battle he moved to Dunkrik, a small city on the Atlantic coast. Then, in 1919 he decided to come back to Courcelette and try to start a new life there. At first he was doing little jobs and he was living with a family that decided to take him in. He worked and been able to buy a small house for himself, leaving that lovely family.
So there he is, in his flat, with his birthday cake, but without the people he cares about. He realised that he missed his family. While he was working he hadn't got much time to think about them but there, in his flat all alone, he realised he was alone.
He decided to go out for a walk, how could he has been so selfish? He was too busy thinking about himself that he forgot his family. They were probably waiting for him. He met his reflection in a window, that wasn't him, he wasn't able to recognise himself. Where did the little Walter go? Where does the lovely poet went? Who's that men that he's seeing?
