    Summary Of Warrior Day By Anne Bernay

    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…

    What They Fought For Summary

    First thing’s first, anyone who encounters this wonderfully constructed book, What They Fought For, by James M. McPherson, must acknowledge his great work. McPherson is one of the few historians worth reading; this is coming from a Kinesiology major who wants little to nothing to do with historians. I strongly believe that this marvelous piece of art work has no flaws or weaknesses, yet has many strong points.…

    Compare and Contrast: Eveline vs Dave

    Writers of modern stories are interested in portraying life. Often, in their stories, we get ideas and find the chance to see, examine, and question ourselves. For example, in James Joyce’s “Eveline,” we observe how fear of the unknown affects a young woman’s future; In Richard Wright’s “The Man Who was Almost a Man,” we see how a young boy’s inability to accept moral responsibilities impacts his life, too. “How would we handle their challenges?” Who is the stronger individual? The answer lies within.…

    A Vivid Picture Of The Battle Of Passchendaele

    The Battle of Passchendaele encapsulates the very essence of World War One perfectly, being a vivid picture of the absolute chaos that had occurred. The Canadian Corps, a fighting formation 100,000 strong was ordered to the Passchendaele front in October of 1917. It was seen as an impossible battle to the commander of the Canadian Corps, it was likely that the fight, even if won, wouldn’t be worth the expenses. The commander-in-chief of the British army was desperate for a symbolic victory, so the military had no say in whether they fought or not. The British had aimed to drive the Germans away from Passchendaele ridge.…

    The Warrior Ethos by Steven Pressfield

    The Warrior Ethos by Steven Pressfield

    The book "The Warrior Ethos" written by Steven Pressfield is about what it means to be a warrior, in the present time, and also in ancient times. In the book it gives many examples such as the ancient Spartans as well as modern day war fighters such as the Marines. It also discusses the differences and similarities as to what the warrior ethos actually means to the individual, as well as to the unit. The author breaks the book into three parts, academies of war, the external war, and finally the last part, inner wars. These three parts essentially start from the ground and work their way up. The academies of war is basically giving examples of real stories where military members showed the meaning of the warrior ethos. For example, Pressfield brings up that in ancient Greek times, when King Leonidas chose the three hundred Spartan warriors to march on Thermopylae based on their wives and mothers. He knew they were going to die and he chose the warriors based on how their families would react to the war effort. Positive reactions from the families of the fallen soldiers creates a positive reaction in the populous. The second part, the external war, is exactly that. How we implement the warrior ethos in an actual battle. The author elaborates on how militaries that are born and raised in harsh environments tend to thrive when they go to battle somewhere else that is less demanding of them. He also discusses how battles and struggles bring soldiers closer and create a brotherhood that is like none other, in the sense that they will die for each other without hesitation. The third and final part, inner wars, is about what the warrior ethos means to each individual, and how it is almost always the same for each person. At first mentions that as warriors, we must always been mindful of consequences, because unlike civilians, consequences are very real in our world.And in turn, we must temper our "brute aggression" with…

    The Wars by Timothy Findley

    Many novels have been written about the great wars, but few are as absorbing, captivating and still capable of showing all the horrors of the battle as Timothy Findley's "The Wars"1. After reading the novel, critics and readers have been quick to point out the vast examples of symbolism shown throughout the novel. Even the author himself commented at the vast examples of symbolism throughout the novel, "Everything in that book has a life of its own. It's a carrier too -- all the objects are carriers of someone else's spirit"2. Although the novel is very symbolic, the most bare-faced and self explicit symbols are the natural elements that are inscribed on Robert's gravestone, "Earth and Air and Fire and Water"3. The symbolism of the natural elements begins a whole framework of ideas as their meanings continuously change throughout the novel. They begin as life supporting and domestic symbols which completely change on the battlefields of Europe. For Findley, this is what war does: it perverts and changes the natural elements from supporting life to the bringers of doom and destruction.…
