    In “The Long Shadow of War” Terrance Hayes considers what makes someone family while discussing the time he not only found out his ‘father’ was not his blood, but also when he first met his birth father. He makes the claim that “the word father had nothing to do with blood.” Later he writes “I wondered how much of who my brother was had to do with blood.” In both of these instances he questions whether or not blood is what makes someone family, while also discussing how both of his fathers had served in the military.…

    You made a good point that I haven't yet discovered while reading the essay "Warrior Day" by Anne Bernays. While reading the essay, I was too focused on Bernays experiences at the Marine Corps Base, and I pay no attention to Bernays religious background and reaction before she went to the Marine Base. In fact, her beliefs can affect the way she thinks and react to Dave's decision. I think you did a job deeply analyze the emotion inside of Bernays. As to answer your question A, I've always been confronted to a similar situation as Bernays. Most of the time, we would "judge another by their cover", but after knowing and interacting with them, we would regret the way we think of them, and that situation happened to me several times. Also, to your…

Leslie also stated “ All those children of course, wind up in the crematorium.” If you were liberated how would you ever…

    The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien represents the epitome of dehumanization that war inflicts on people. Each character is involved in a short story that makes up the entire novel; their different traits make up not only their personality but their entire persona and how their social role contributed to the overall message. The characters participation in the war leads to many tragic fates such as absurdity, trauma, and suicide. In the novel, Mary Anne, Tim O’Brien, and Norman Bowker’s lives were deeply changed by their time in Vietnam because they were forced to adapt to the demands of war and learned to cope with their emotional baggage and mental burdens.…

    Many children escaped with parents or other relatives—and sometimes on their own—to family camps run by Jewish partisans. Some Jews hid in attics, cellars, or barns and or took false identities. Some non-Jews hid Jews, but that wasn't exactly the end of it. “. . . 80% of The hidden children that were interviewed were well treated by their rescuers, while 15% were occasionally mistreated, and 5% were treated badly” (The Jewish victims of he holocaust: the children). Not only that but after the war was done, most of the surviving children were orphaned. Sometimes the families would come to get the children after the war, but they found out that their children had disappeared, were killed, or the rescuer got too attached to the child and would not give them back to the families. Some children lived on the streets and begged for bread, but winter would get the best of them, and they would end up getting sick, or they froze to…

    I can still remember when I told my best friends that I was moving to Iowa; most of them did not believe me at first. The move happened so quickly that I only managed to tell a small portion of the people I knew that I was leaving. What surprised me the most was how easy it was to leave without notice, it is like some of the relationships I made never happened. The Lost Boys and the culture they were a part of should be admired for the commitment these people had to one another. These men formed bonds that survived starvation, war, and abandonment. Even when some of them were given the opportunity to move to America, the support given to those moving as refugees astonished me. I doubt that many Americans, myself included, can say that they formed closer bonds with so many people. The Lost Boys, in some ways, had it better than me, at least in regard to their relationships. Not only were they moving with some of their friends, but they were able to spend time with everyone that mattered to them before they…

    All things truly wicked start from innocence. A moral truth that finds its place among today’s society. Innocence is such a frail, yet valuable quality. The loss of innocence can lead to such disastrous consequences. The theme of the loss of innocence is a prevalent one found throughout the novel The Wars by Timothy Findley. It is noted particularly in regards to the protagonist, Robert Ross. Early on in the novel, he encounters such miserable situations that dramatically mature his character emotionally and mentally in such a short period of time. Such events include the sudden loss of a loved one, sexual encounters, and the murder of the innocent.…

    To begin with, children whose parents survived were reunited. One-third of the children in the Kindertransport were reunited with at least one parent. It took a lot of time for them to figure out whether their parents were alive or not. Many women who claimed their children were abandoned by their husbands for contemptuous feelings. In other cases, children who had dead parents had to move on. Lots had stayed in orphanages and were placed in displaced person camps (a camp where disabled people stayed). Jewish children flew to Eastern Europe to start a new life there. Many older children emigrated to Yishuv, Israel, or North America. In fact, the Hess family was lucky enough to emigrate to the United States. A mother named Gerti sent four children to England during the war on a Kindertransport. The four children were all musicians where Marion, the oldest, plays the piano, Uschi, a twin of Gisi, plays the cello, Gisi plays the violin, and George plays something with strings. Marion worked as a maid, like her mother, for a family in England. She found out her father lived in New York and joined her father after the war. She married and raised children while she and her siblings aspired to join bands. To go somewhere after the war, children were placed in orphanages or tried to find their families.…

    World War two, the deadliest war to ever take place, began on September first, 1939, and ended six long years later on September second, 1945, with over sixty million casualties. Eleven million of these casualties were caused by the concentration camps of the Holocaust, or the systematic killing of six and a half million Jews and five million others by the Nazi’s. The children of the Holocaust were the worst off. They weren't given much chance at survival. All children under the age of twelve were sent straight into the gas chambers and those that were older and healthy were sent to the camps to be used for labor.…
