Hai everyone, This is my entry for the Book and Movie Skin Contest.

A Little about it and why I chose it:
Well, this is Charlie. He is the character from one of my favourite books:
Private Peaceful By: Michael Morpugo
The main character is Charlie and just at 17, World war 1 started and he felt like, he had to go to war...He had to go help everyone even though he wasn't allowed because of his age, and may I say at the start of the book there were descriptions one of them said:
Charlie:
17 years old even though he looks much older.
His dad died also which made him want to go to war even more to avenge his dad.
Carrying on :)
Once he got into the camp in France, he went to series of trainings to get him all muscly and ready for war, after 4 months of hard work he finally made it into the front line, where he stayed for over 5 months after getting many diseases and just plain horrible things, such as: Trench foot, lice etc... There was a gas attack on the area he was in, he started thinking wether it was too much for him, so he went and told his General (who by the way is a dick), the General declined his request to leave, he kept trying to leave the war by pretending to be crazy, he told one of his peers, that his last resort would be to shoot himslef in the foot.
After many many many tries, his General got really cross and they both had a huge argument which lead Charlie to drop his shotgun to the floor and walk away, 2 weeks later Charlie was in a court house waiting while many people (judges) decided his fait, many were against him as he disrespected a higher rank...so after many hours of waiting, he got the message that he would be killed by 15 soldiers....
2 days later, he stood on his knees while 15 men circled around him, after 3 commands by the General:
-READY?-
-SET-
-SHOOT-
Charlie still on his knees got shot, but as he was closing his eyes slowly he says,:
-You may have taken my life...but you shall never EVER take my pride for the coutnry!-
This book sort of made me tear up at the end, so that's why the skin is based on that scene.

Thank you so much for reading, Please give the skin a DIAMOND...and maybe SUBSCRIBE.
Once again thanks so much,
