Leadership in war time is a dynamic process. No one particular commander is exposed to the same challenge and implements a textbook solution. While leadership doctrine is provided to commanders, it serves more as a guideline than anything else. This situation can be clearly seen in the leadership and management styles of General Frank Savage and Colonel Keith Davenport. Both of these individuals were faced with the challenge of leading a Bomber Group during World War II. Grossly undermanned and equipped, their directive from command was to give maximum effort and fly their assigned missions until replacement aircraft and personnel could be brought up to the front.…

Imagine being asked “Hey man, do you own a shotty?” Naturally a person’s first response will be “What is a shotty?” A shotty0 is slang for a gun.

My first problem was the ghost of Darius. I think that he came in anger. I had done this miserable thing to my copy of Aeschylus’ Persians – I had given it a fringe of those little yellow flags whose purpose it is to destroy the appearance of any fine-looking book. I had been assigned one of the first papers I'd write here, and I am sure that wanted to hold off for another moment that unspooling experience by scrambling to organize what happily bedevils the highlighting and underlining eye. I made several pages of very neat, probably very pallid notes. The thing I was going to make was due soon. The writing of it had to start now, if not the day before. I felt – and still I feel this way – as though I were sprawled out on the ground, groping at the ankles of people running quick to somewhere I don't know. I am trying to trip something that won't fall, and make it lay still with me in the dirt, where I can't see much of anything, and everything confused.…

Did women of the 1920s deserve to have rights or were they merely hopeless beings who needed the help of men to guide them in life? In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God she touches on the subject of how women of the 1920s were expected to act. Women of the time period were regarded as their husband’s wife and not as individual people. Women weren’t allowed to speak freely for themselves either. The book is a representation of the ways in which the typical American Dream has profoundly failed the women of the time period. Through her significant use of symbolism, Zora Neale Hurston utilises the main character to demonstrate a woman’s expected obligation to the home and her husband and the disrespect that was received in turn.…
Rednecks are often misunderstood. When a typical person thinks of the word “redneck,” most of them often associate this type of person as loud, hot-headed, violent, undereducated, racist and poor. People also associate rednecks with outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, camping and riding atv’s or dirt bikes. (Flora 1) Rednecks, most of the time, are associated with the confederate flag as well. They are also perceived to be rude. A term often used to define rednecks is “white trash,” meaning “poor white people, especially those living in the southern US (White 1).” What people don’t realize is that rednecks are also associated with intelligence and respect. They are loving, caring and are proud to be themselves. Rednecks all share the same love for cowboy boots, old jeans, pickup trucks, mud and learning lessons from their parents. This does not make rednecks “white trash.” This makes them general people, which is often overlooked.…

People just simply thought that this hurricane would be major destruction and death.
