A few hours later, Nelson was the first to awake and found himself tied by the wrists, along with the other three campers he’d met at Camp Campbell. He looked around, observing the room that they were in. It was murky, empty room with nothing but themselves on the rusty floor and a TV. The room had no windows, only a door that was a ten feet away from them. Nelson took a deep breath and tried to calm his heartbeat, which was rapidly beating in his chest. He shook himself against the backs of his fellow accompanies. They all groaned and tried their best to awake as quickly as they could. When they awoke, they gasped and all four

    During Winter, the prisoners felt true bitter cold. Because of the incredibly cool weather, Eliezer’s foot swelled. He consulted a fellow Jew, a doctor prior to imprisonment, and is told that he needs immediate operation to prevent amputation. In the hospital, Eliezer was fed properly and didn’t have to work. After he awakened from his operation, Eliezer was afraid to ask the doctor if his leg has been amputated, but the doctor assured him that “in two weeks you'll be fully recovered… able to walk like the others.” (page 80). Two days after his operation, Eliezer heard that the front was advancing to Buna, and that very day the camp was ordered to evacuate.

    The Andersonville camp was an awful, murderous place for Union soldiers to be held prisoners in. It was established in Andersonville, Georgia by General John H. Winder and nearly 13,000 men died over the fourteen months the prison had been in operation. These Union prisoners suffered in the nasty condition of the camp and had little to no clothes, food rations and medical care. At the end of the Civil War, Captain Henry Wirz was questioned in court for committing crimes against humanity and was later executed after being labeled guilty by the court. However, Captain Henry Wirz did not commit any crimes against humanity in the Andersonville prison camp and should not have been punished with death due to the fact that he was only following the inhumane orders of General John H. Winder.…

    After years of study Joseph Campbell found that all heros travel the same path in their lives. Mr. Campbell named this famous theory the hero's journey. The hero’s journey states that the hero's must first endure several obstacles and if the hero passes all the obstacles he/she will be rewarded. This treacherous journey is repeated over and over again. This theory not only relates to us but it relates to everyone for instance myself. In fact my life’s journey as a football player and a grandson is much like the Joseph Campbell’s hero journey because I had left my ordinary world, met my mentor, and earned my reward.…

    What was the role of the POW camps and what treatment was received by the prisoners and what did the prisoners do in the camps? During World War II over 140,000 prisoners were kept in Japanese’s camps. These camps took away the prisoners clothes, food and anything they have been carrying through-out the war. The prisoners who lived in these camps were contained by guards, the guards were cruel and abusive mentally and physically. These type of camps were often kept as a secret to the rest of the world. Prisoners were given jobs to do during the day to keep the busy and at the end of the day the lack of protein provided in the food is unreal. In the book Unbroken Louie was kept in one of these awful camps under strict rules made by “The Bird.” “The Bird” whose real name is Mustsohio Watanabe was in charge of everything and everyone in the POW camp.…

    It was the Summer of 2010, I had recently discovered a camp online called "Railcamp" after stumbling upon a video about the camp, this particular camp was hosted by the State of West Virginia's Operation Lifesaver Agency. I have always had an interest in trains since I was very young, I lived right beside a Mainline until when I was around 3 years old. One day, I was browsing on the internet and found a YouTube video about Railcamp. This immediately caught my attention. The camp was supposed to last about a week in late June/Early July. This camp would be full of interesting surprises. The drive to the camp was about 5 hours long and approximately 300 miles.

    Officers in the field lived much better than enlisted men. They generally assigned one or two officers to a tent. Since they provided their own personal gear, items varied greatly and reflected individual taste. Each junior officer was allowed one trunk of personal belongings that was carried in one of the baggage wagons. Higher-ranking officers were allowed more baggage. Unlike infantrymen, who slept and sat on whatever nature provided, officers sometimes had the luxury of furniture.…

    It all started in the summer of 2010, where I was sent off to Massachusetts for the next seven weeks. I was going to Camp Winadu, which is a summer camp that my dad attended from ages four to nineteen. My Dad and I boarded our flight at O’Hare, and during the whole two hour flight I was nervous about being away from my parents for almost two months. Adding even more onto my nerves, I was the only camper that wasn’t from the East Coast. After we landed, I was whisked away in a van (in a good way), and taken through the rural parts of New York and Massachusetts that I never knew existed. When I arrived, everyone was playing basketball on the court by the lake. Most of the kids knew each other, but I knew nobody. I was a stray dog. Everyone hung around for a few hours before we were sent to our cabins, where I of course knew nobody. Something else that I also didn’t know was that Winadu was an ultra-competitive sports camp.…
