    I was only a member of the Fallen Lamb for a few nights at the time, but never had I seen the sea as beautiful as it was then. She glistened a deep blue, and clashed against the hard wood of the ship, waves rising until it hit the hull then falling back into the sea. Getting used to the constant rocking of the ship was incredibly difficult at first, but I managed to retain my balance after a week or so. Anyways, I made my way to the main deck, passing through the kitchen first so I could grab a bite to eat. All we had left for breakfast were apples that were once fresh, but old and bruised now.…

    The Brethren is a book about the evolution of the Burger Court during the years of 1969 to 1976. The Brethren takes readers inside the court for a fascinating view of how things really work: how justices build majorities for their points of view and, occasionally, how they lose them; how the chief justice can use his power to assign cases to impress their philosophy on the final decision; and the unique role played by the law clerks. This book is a balanced account of the inner workings of the Supreme Court from 1969 to 1976, the first seven years of Warren Burger's tenure as Chief Justice. The storytelling is also clearly slanted against the Burger court but the overall quality of the work makes the bias forgivable. It describes the decision…

    Lane uses multiple highly prominent figures with direct involvement in regards to Australia’s position in the Afghanistan War to her advantage. Lane continues to express the views of Julia Gillard in detailing Australia’s view and the progress being made as well as the withdrawal schedule. Lane further successfully exploits human nature, evident in numbering the deceased soldiers and quoting the father of one of these men, “how many lives would have been saved by the action of our soldiers and our participation” (Sher, 2012). Effectively adding emotion to the piece and strengthening the position the broadcast is making, it also supports her position on what gets viewed in regards to ‘war’.…

    It was another hot day at the hilltop in Afghanistan when combat called for action. American soldiers caught the enemy in the open and without enough cover, soon the valley turned into one enormous shooting gallery. The action seemed casual, soldiers acted without much thinking, like riding a bicycle as it came all natural like of second nature. In a matter of minutes it was all over, the scouts reported over the radio they saw a guy crawl in the mountainside without a leg they watched until he stopped moving and announced his death. Everyone at the camp cheered. This was to the non combatant bothersome, but the cheering had a more profound meaning and it was that the dead enemy could not hurt anyone else. are represented at the ground, after all, these young guys have…
