Description Of To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 1-3
Unit tradition dictated the team met for their pre-mission normal bull session. So, that night Lt. Carter procured two cases of beer, iced down in an old artillery shell box and anyone’s guess where he obtained the ice. For this rotation, Captain Mason brought the food, which consisted of turkey and cheese sandwiches on freshly baked bread, potato chips, and fresh chocolate chip cookies. As with the ice, the rest of the unit wondered where the captain obtained the fresh baked goods and he wasn’t about to tell them he raided Colonel Johnson’s supply of fresh food from Da Nang. Colonel Johnson never ate from the mess and always had better food than the rest of his men. Jackson leaned against the doorjamb, watching his men and their antics until

    The book’s first chapter is about Dryden meeting Rachel. She runs into him early in the morning and asks “Yes or no, she said, I can’t wait any longer”(Lee 6). From how Patrick Lee describes the scene you can clearly tell Rachel does not have a lot of time to waste. She needs to get going as fast as possible. That is why I chose the song Time Bomb by All Time Low. The quote from the song is, “We were like a time bomb set into motion, we knew that we were destined to explode”. This quote works imperviously for the whole book. The two are always being chased down and Rachel constantly has time stuck on her mind. She always has to be on the run from the Government. She makes some friends on this journey, in the little time she feels safe. She has had time stuck in her head since she escaped the laboratory that they were testing her in. Rachel tells Dryden she can not wait very long. She is just trying to keep enough time between her and the government, or at least enough to let her live. She lost all of her memory and that will take time for it to all come back to…

    As most people have read the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, many have wondered, what contributes most to the story’s themes? Well, throughout the novel, there are three main literary elements that come into play. In the passage “‘It ain’t right, Atticus…”’(pg.284) to “I looked up, and his face was vehement”(pg.296), Harper Lee uses the literary element character, setting, and tone to develop the theme that recognizing perspectives contributes to coming of age.

    In a primary source quoted, ”Union troops were well fed but the food was not that much better than what the Confederates were eating.” by a union solider. Soldiers were constantly on their feet and without food they had no passion, drive, or energy to withstand an intense battle. Long hours of drills, preparation and running will get you hungry causing constipation, cant sleep, mood swing, constantly cold, and etc... This will effect performance, thought process, friendships and the old saying,” That an army marches on it's stomach” is very true. Since there were so many soldiers were in this war involved they revived poor quality food, but high official ranking generals and officers gained the luxury and the fine dinning because the theory was that the general need to explain, developed, and finalized strategies to defeat the confederates. The north ate the following things Hardtack Hard “crackers” made with flour, salt, and water. Meat Salted pork, bacon, or beef soaked with potassium nitrate (saltpeter) Flour Cornmeal Salt and pepper. Coffee or tea Sugar Rice or hominy Corn that has been soaked and washed to remove the hulls.

    In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, the main theme is that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This metaphor of not killing mockingbird is clearly portrayed throughout the course of this novel. This theme is so important to the plot of this novel that the author decided to entitle the book after this very metaphor. Mockingbirds are birds that do not do anything wrong and they just give us music. Atticus is the main character in the novel that really stressed why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbirds are just a simple metaphor for the characters in this book who are killed, such as Mr. Raymond and Tom Robinson.…

    On the other hand, food in camp was usually plentiful. Meat such as beef, chicken, and pork was served to the soldiers most every day. Flour was readily available as well. Even fruit and vegetables were provided along with coffee, salt, and sugar. Clean water was scarce, however, and led to many diseases throughout the camps. Union soldiers were often given better quality foods because of an abundance of railroads and trains. Confederate forces were often forced to take donations or steal food from…

As a matter of fact, all over the world all the soldiers ate the same meals as the rest of the soldiers, but a little bit different eating styles. “A good quick snack for the soldiers when they had no food with them was candy, it was a great quick and easy snack”(Vazquez”What Did Soldiers eat during WWII”, 2014).
