BOOK ONE: Part 2, Chapter 6-7

Tolstoy has this really interesting way of describing people's expressions. It makes me want to be a writer and not a director to read these words- because Tolstoy is creating a story though the way that he writes that could never be interpreted correctly as a film. This is pure literature at it's best. 

Also, a question. When Tolstoy says 'our troops' what does he mean? What does the 'our' imply? Does he know that people will be reading this- and is the 'our' a way to get us to side with him? Pg.141 for those of you who are following along.
