The structure of the poem consists of three different components; the first section describes the anxiety of a bombing mission. The second describes targeting the area and the third, describes flying home. This type of poem is a ballad. The poem is unique because it explains in detail, what would have happened over a series of minutes. Each stanza has its own effect, the third and forth stanzas are longer to produce the effect that when your about to die time slows down. The poem flows with rhythm all the way through it. It is a very anxiety filled piece and shows how people are affected by war.…
The aim of this essay is to investigate the two major theories trying to explain why do primates have large brains. Even since the seminar study of Jerison in 1973 it has been acknowledged that primate brains are unusually large for their body size. There are three main groups of theories giving more or less persuasive explanations of the evolution of large brains and high cognitive skills in primates. The first group is a group of social theories, postulating that primate cognition is a result of complex social interactions between individuals, and in this essay this group will be represented by the Social Brain Hypothesis proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar. The second group encompasses the ecological theories that are based on a premise that primate intelligence originated from complex interactions with the environment. A “delegate” from this group in my discussion will be the Visual Specialisation Hypothesis introduced by Robert Barton (1998), who argues that primate encephalisation is connected to frugivorous diet and the need of advanced visual abilities. Finally, the Cultural Intelligence Hypothesis, which is a general name to multiple related views, proposes that large-brained primates possess “general intelligence” due to their great behavioural flexibility. This final theory will be included in the comparison just to offer an alternative view to the two mainly discussed theories above.…
When I chose to come to West Point, the military was showing signs of decreasing their footprint in the Middle East to zero. However, I knew that I could still be put in harm’s way upon graduation. Being in harm’s way so others can live safely is the Army’s job, and EOD is the epitome of that. This is part of the reason I want to be an EOD officer. EOD soldiers are trained to mitigate explosive hazards so other units can complete their mission. The EOD mission is so important that wherever there is movement on deployment, there is a supporting EOD unit. I want to be part of something that has a visible impact in the fight.…
The author in “Just Another Soldier” had a unique message: “I know war, have experienced it, but accept it though I do not understand it.” A rough message to say the least, and it is not without its flaws, but it is extremely effective in conveying the idea that war is inherently morbid and close-minded. The author showed us this through his mention of different casualties he had encountered thus far through the course of the war he was engaged in. For example, the author mentions that, “in situations that my platoon has responded to, there have been three dead civilians, including four women, one three-year-old girl, and one mentally unstable man on a moped.” Yet, though a seemingly numerous body count, it was nearly matched in a single event…
The poem centres on Wilfred Owen in a biographical manner. It talks about his experience of watching a man being killed by gas and his personal thoughts as to why he was killed. It seems directed at the reader of the poem but the anger throughout the poem is actually directed at the generals and the government for hiding the horrors of war from the general public and claiming it to be a victory.…

The sound of the bomb dropping, exploding, made every soldier’s body and hearing, and goes numb and ring. One soldier was hit, but can't yell for help because the numbing and ringing of hearing, another soldier notices by a glance.

Running to the group of soldiers for help but then are hit by another sniper, both begin lying in agony, praying for help, believing both are going to die wherever the soldiers’ bodies lie. That's when a woman soldier and another male soldier render aid in picking up the hit soldiers and running to the tank that is going to keep the group safe and return back to base to get to the hospital, to the doctors…
The soldiers hooted and hollered at the sight as if it were entertainment. Ahmeya's tear filled eyes blurred her vision as she searched for the people of her longhouse. Off to the side, by the stream where they washed clothes, she saw an old woman crouching down and Tamataunee, her brave husband, standing over her. A horse rider charged at them both, swinging his saber in the air above his head. Ahmeya watched in horror, hugging her baby as the rider sliced at Tamataunee. He managed to duck the saber and raised his tomahawk to fight back, but before he could strike a blow at his attacker, another man using a long rifle, shot Tamataunee. He fell to his knees, looked up at the saber-carrying horseman, who then kicked him in the head. It snapped backwards and he fell to the ground with a thud. Ahmeya could now see the old woman was her beloved Mahonoy. She raised her arms as if pleading with the rider and was quickly run through with the already bloodied…
