    Comparison Of TKAM By Harper Lee And Courage By Edgar Guest

    In TKAM by Harper Lee and “Courage” and Edgar Guest, there are many similarities in the development of theme and tone in the two works. To begin in TKAM Lee presented its theme of courage. Courage is being selfless and doing things that other may be afraid to do. First Atticus is defending a black man, Tom Robinson, which was a rare occurrence then due to the racial issues then. “Evey lawyer gets at least one case that affects them personally.”…

    The transformation into a United States Marine, and the tribulations the father and son encountered along the way, is documented brilliantly by one another, John and Frank Schaeffer, in Keeping Faith. This remarkable, award winning novel depicts the experiences of a Marine, the growth of both father and son, and their individual assessments of what it means to serve. Many families have read Keeping Faith, as a source of strength and guidance when entangled in a similar situation. While others like myself, have read the novel to gain insight and a better notion of what it may be like to join the military, and the effects it could have on both my family and I. Merely are compositions similar to, Keeping Faith and The Case for Christ read…

    I highly recommend it to anyone at any level of the Marine Corps. However, if they do take my recommendation to read the book, I do suggest to start with the first book, The Tipping Point. Unfortunately, I did not know about the first book so I haven’t had a chance to read it, but if it is anything like the first one I know it will be great. Overall, I think this was a great book. This book will open your eyes a little bit and some parts may even apply to…

    Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

    Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

    In Soren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling, the biblical story of Abraham is retold with four different viewpoints, to narrow on the religious and the ethical. The Religious is that stage of life when the individual is found to be in “an absolute relation with the absolute”, and the ethical being the “expression of the universal, where all actions are done publicly and for the common good.“ Kierkegaard writes that Abraham killing Isaac is ethically wrong, but religiously right. But the point that Kierkegaard is driving home is the distinction between faith and resignation. Faith is what it takes to “leap into the absurd, something that cannot be rationally explained, transcending the intelligible.” Resignation is the sacrifice of something dear and the following reconciliation with that loss. Kierkegaard cites the example of Agamemnon who must reconcile himself to the loss of his beloved daughter, Iphigenia. Back to the Abraham story, it would have been resignation if Abraham merely had tried to kill Isaac on the basis of the infallibility of God’s wish. But Abraham made the leap of faith to believe that God would not commit something unethical, and hence, spare Isaac.…

    The Warrior Ethos by Steven Pressfield

    The Warrior Ethos by Steven Pressfield

    The book "The Warrior Ethos" written by Steven Pressfield is about what it means to be a warrior, in the present time, and also in ancient times. In the book it gives many examples such as the ancient Spartans as well as modern day war fighters such as the Marines. It also discusses the differences and similarities as to what the warrior ethos actually means to the individual, as well as to the unit. The author breaks the book into three parts, academies of war, the external war, and finally the last part, inner wars. These three parts essentially start from the ground and work their way up. The academies of war is basically giving examples of real stories where military members showed the meaning of the warrior ethos. For example, Pressfield brings up that in ancient Greek times, when King Leonidas chose the three hundred Spartan warriors to march on Thermopylae based on their wives and mothers. He knew they were going to die and he chose the warriors based on how their families would react to the war effort. Positive reactions from the families of the fallen soldiers creates a positive reaction in the populous. The second part, the external war, is exactly that. How we implement the warrior ethos in an actual battle. The author elaborates on how militaries that are born and raised in harsh environments tend to thrive when they go to battle somewhere else that is less demanding of them. He also discusses how battles and struggles bring soldiers closer and create a brotherhood that is like none other, in the sense that they will die for each other without hesitation. The third and final part, inner wars, is about what the warrior ethos means to each individual, and how it is almost always the same for each person. At first mentions that as warriors, we must always been mindful of consequences, because unlike civilians, consequences are very real in our world.And in turn, we must temper our "brute aggression" with…
