    In Pierre Berton’s ‘Vimy’, the reader is taken on an adventure following multiple Canadian soldiers who bravely fought in world war one. It is tough for any author to capture the real horrors of war, but in his non-fiction historical masterpiece, Canadian author and historian, Pierre Berton, does an excellent attempt to do just that. With accurate quotes and images it feels as if you have ventured across the cold Atlantic ocean, just as young Canadians did almost one hundred years ago. In 1914 Britain joined a war that had already had its first battles, primarily between the German and the French. Because Canada was under the rule of the king and not its own country (yet), she automatically joined on the side of Britain. When this happened, there was much commotion in Canadian streets. “All Across Canada from Toronto to Quebec and Calgary to Vancouver, men were rushing to enlist.” (Berton 17) Many were turned down. Some because they were too unfit some because they wore glasses and some because they were too small. But the most popular reason was because the boys were too young. The legal age to enlist in Canada is eighteen but it was not uncommon for boys who were only seventeen or even younger to lie about their age. Boys were over the moon to get out of school early, some quitting after just grade ten. It was the thing to do back then. Like modern commercials we see on television where marketers use advertising techniques like bandwagoning, young boys were anxious to be in the army and more importantly, not to be left out. These events demonstrate the first theme present in the first half of the book- patriotism. Or in this case, false patriotism, because these boys, now soldiers, were very mislead. They thought of war as heroic cavalry charges and sieges that would go down in history, but once they arrived in France they quickly realized otherwise. Patriotism is evident throughout this book, but mostly during the chapters concerning the Canadians. Pierre Berton…

    Jessica Hemauer’s essay, “Farm Girl,” tells her life story of living on a farm through her eyes as ten-year-old child to the time of her early adulthood. The purpose of this piece is to teach the importance of life's responsibilities to children, mainly female, and young adults who may not be familiar with the challenges life can bring and to promote the benefits you can gain by overcoming those obstacles. Hemauer uses pathos, which appeals to emotion, logos, designed to engage our logic, and ethos, to prove its credibility, to convey that though growing up on a family farm was a struggle day-to-day, it was valuable life lesson because it shaped her into the well-rounded and hard working person she is today.…

    People don’t always understand that silence is not a sign of weakness, it is in fact unmeasurable strength. Modern American culture conditions people, particularly men, to believe that masculinity consists of outwardly aggressive behavior and unrestrained hypersexualization of women, but sometimes a true sign of masculinity is the ability for one to remain silent and listen to others. I once found myself in an unpleasant situation that involved repeated instances of sexual harassment that almost escalated to rape. I was exposed to an awful atmosphere of intolerance as one of my peers used vulgar phrases directed towards my sexuality and attempted to engage in physical misconduct. After I removed myself from that situation I began to feel a…

    As the gas leaves the furnace, the carbon dioxide and water vapor produced by the combustion reaction are carried out of the furnace. The gas stream first passes through a desiccant, typically Mg(ClO4)2, which removes all moisture from the gas stream. Next the gas stream passes through a tube containing NaOH, which removes all carbon dioxide from the gas stream (forming NaHCO3).…
