THE LAST SAMURAI

1 you are going to compare how Captain Algren changed his life after being capture, also describe the characteristics that Captain Algren shows as a leader.

Captain Algren was, so to speak, very shallow before being captured, was a person who drank a lot because of memories that haunted him, in spite of this he had great skill to train the military of Japan, which had been hired.
At the time of his capture, but spent several days locked in a room, to recover and feel better, he began to see as practiced by the Samurai to the fighting.
Nathan worked hard to keep up, therefore, something we can show is that this captain changed his life because I was already inside more spiritual things to think about, he saw that the Samurai worry much about the concentration in meditation and have time to fight, also saw how important it was honor to them, rather die than live a disgrace, even to talk to both Katsumoto reason this made ​​him uneasy on things that every day, all this play Nathan's heart, thereby generating a life more centered on helping others.

Nathan Algren characteristics as a leader:
- Spirit of conviction: they saw the safety with which he led an army, his thoughts and actions that others undertake generated what definitely was saying.
- Never gave up: Nathan observed nowadays as dangerous as the Samurai in their training, notwithstanding that he received defeats never gave up, always practiced and practiced, including the final achievement of honor to use an outfit.
- Good strategist, he knew that movements should be carried out and exactly at that time.
- Sense of belonging: he did not want to destroy what had we started to love the samurai family.



2 How and why does Captain Algren overcome his addiction to alcohol, compare what does to what a drug addict could do.

The captain Algren could finish its addiction like most of people that have an addiction illness with effort and many overcoming desires the captain were also very busy with its troops and with its fight against the injustice.
You can compare with the addiction to the drugs for that it forms of equal it is an addiction and cause dependence and it constitutes a problem of health it publishes very important. The risks and damages associated to the addiction to the drugs vary for each substance and they are extremely dangerous; for this reason, it is necessary to keep in mind the personal variables as the grade of their motivation, knowledge or experience from the addiction use to the drugs, and the properties you specify from addiction to the drugs as well as the influence of the adulterant elements.
That makes that the addiction to the drugs is a noxious addiction it is that he/she becomes against oneself and of the other ones. At the beginning of the addiction to the drugs certain apparent bonus is obtained, the same as with an I inhabit. But soon their behavior begins to have negative consequences in its life. The addictive behaviors for addiction to the drugs produce pleasure, relief and other short term compensations, but they provoke pain, disaster, desolation and multitude of problems to half term.

3 If you could change a part of the story, what would you change, write the changes in your own words.

I consider that an important part to change is that Katsumoto does not dies and who lives as Nathan Algren.
When Nathan Algren was taken with the samurai learned to live with them like their fighting skills  for fight and organized their ideas in the field of battle in a strategicweapons they used (arrows and swords). The samurai were killed because the other army's asecino with powerful weapons.
In the fight of his ideals and wanting to protect his people came to the fine, though Katsumoto thought I should die with honor survived the two and presented to the emperor.
