It is necessary that the American Revolution helped the Americans to see themselves as an independent nation without the control of the another nation. At first, the Colonist and Britain work together as one, but British take Colonist just for their benefit. British partner with Colonist, to taxes them, control land, and attempt to take gold. After the French and Indian War, British government economic control over the Colonies, but then British taxes them so hard that make them feeling angry. Colonies feel like their right has been trampled. So the Colonies decided they will needed to break away from British and became a separate nation. The British disagree, then war happen, Colonies just want to prove themselves…
On brisk September mornings, civilian residences often answer the door to a military officer whom bears bad news about their sons. During the reconstruction, the sex ratio is off balance and many women do not have a full grasp on why they are lonely. In “War is Kind” by the famous poet Stephen Crane; he adopts sarcastic diction and syntax to display war as a destructive force.…
I believe that Chris Hedges book War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning is spot on how war affects a person and a society. Chris Hedges believes that war is negative and that it degrades the ones who participate in it. War changes the people that fight in it and just like a drug war becomes an addiction, once you get a taste of it is hard to stop. War brings out the nationalism of those who fight in it and at the core of nationalism is racism. How People Change People change during war, and not in a good way.…

Looking back to American history, some cringe with regret at events that were catastrophic and villainous. While in some instances we overwhelmed with pride for the right decisions our ancestors chose. But it is events like the US - mexican war that brings us the realization that in order for America to be the great nation it is, the war was a necessary act. Amy Greenberg’s A Wicked War captures the lives of five important people that left their legacy in American history.…
In addition, the humor in the poem can also be placed into perspective by allowing us to understand that even though we sometimes are defeated, we look at the brighter side of things and even make a joke or find humor in our opponents in an effort to cover up the sorrow or bad feelings we may have about them or the battle we lost against…
War is presented in various ways in literature with each writer presenting it in their own unique way due to influences in their social and historical background e.g. Owen wrote poems about war as he was experiencing it. One of the factors on whether a piece, be it a poem or a play or a novel, was positive or negative towards war all depended on the writer’s attitude towards war e.g. Jessie Pope’s “Who’s For The Game?” is all about her trying to convince men it was all a bit of fun to join the war and fight for their country, which makes perfect sense for a woman to say as women during the time of world war one often encouraged men to join war as they stayed behind to look after the children ect. But the poems I want to discuss are “Dulce Et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen and “Who’s for The Game?” by Jesse Pope. The play i'm going to Discuss is “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare.…
“World War II and the Depression are now nearly as far back as we can go in living memory, and so the loom large in our active folk story. And many who lived then were too young to understand it in its depth; they remember only that the war was a great victory” (Adams 115).…
War can seem like an all-consuming force of hate, death, and misery to the soldiers and citizens who must fight war’s wrath. However, to survive one must transcend the unspeakable horrors from the fighting. The French women of World War II who survived the war exemplify this transcendence. Left under the control of the Nazi occupation, these women had to protect their family and their morals. Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale addresses the topic of surviving war through the perspectives of sisters Isabelle and Vianne. Hannah’s depiction of the sisters gets described as “an emotional powerhouse that lays bare the human heart's capacity for courage, compassion and resilience” (Fulwood), in spite of World War II. The sisters overcome…
To me, “All is fair in love and war” means that there is two sides to every story in life. Just because two people have two different opinions on something doesn’t mean that either of them are right or wrong in the disagreement or topic. In other words, everyone will not agree with you in life, but we have the freedom of speech which is fair. Another idea about this saying is the thought about how love and war are both fair, even though they both aren't. Love is not fair because no matter what, people will always get hurt whether they deserve it or not. This is easily found in couples nowadays because in this generation it's harder to get along…
They make it seem like war does not have a mental effect on you. Irony is sometimes overused, and difficult to use correctly. Structure helps with showing what war does to you mentally. Whether, it’s good structure, or bad structure.…
“The power to wage war is the power to wage war successfully” (Evans Hughes, Charles). In 1846 the United States and Mexico went to war against each other over disagreements mainly regarding the area of Texas. Mexico claimed the war was to protect its territorial integrity while the United States claimed the war was an act of self defense. In the Just War Theory actions and intentions of warring nations are upheld to a standard of justification. This Theory attempts to provide parameters of acceptable behavior when declaring and waging war. It also provides examples of offenses often committed in war. When examining the events leading up to the war, it becomes clear that the United States was acting in accordance with the principles put forth in the Just War Theory. The participation of the United States in the Mexican-American war was just because war was declared as a last resort, the war was fought on behalf of a just cause, and the war was declared by a legitimate authority.…
I read the Art of War during my high school year as a outside of the class reading book assigned by my language art teacher. I told him I was going to major in business (marketing). So when I first started reading the Art of War I was like “hey, if I have all the time in this world I could have think of all of these stuffs.” I had a big ego that time. Then I had a discussion about the Art of War with my physics teacher(he’s a genius literally, speaks 7-8 languages, mid twenties, doing his PhD. and also teaching). I asked him about the book why this is the knowledge in this book is something I could have think of. He replied something like this: “all the knowledge in this level are like this. It’s may not seem very deep and intriguing to me. However, let a hundred people read this book. They will all interpret differently. It is as if an exotic ingredient waiting to be made into some ridiculously complex dishes. Each chef will make them differently. Depending on the chefs’ expertise. That is why it the knowledge has been used in the business field for decades. To a common people they may think “hey, I could have thought of these stuffs” but they could never improvise those knowledge into practice. That is what separates the people reading this book. Sun Tzu may write quite simply in sentences, but it’s all the interpretation of each individual to put into practice that makes the book so powerful.” To say the least a big part of my ego has been removed. I have never thought of such common thing to be this powerful.…
The Second World War is often depicted as the “Good War” because this war is where idea of democracy, freedom, and justice prevailed against the dictatorship of the fascist government, marking the beginning of the end of imperialism in the world. Despite the destruction, death, and devastation from the war. It also helped bring in a new world order; where the United States, wartime mobilization pulled the American economy out of depression, employing millions and granting American women the chance to experienced some freedoms unattainable in pre-war society. Placing the United States as a new and powerful state. It is widely taught that the good guys, or the Allies, won, and the bad guys, or the Axis, lost the war. Encouraging Americans to believe that the reason the United States went to war and the defeat of Germany and Japan was to demonstrate the virtue of the American Way, and the superiority of our country's form of government and society.…
