The Boy Without A Flag Analysis
Being completely honest at first when I saw that the short story had 13 pages I thought it was going to be very monotonous and boring, but I was wrong. I actually enjoyed the short story because, at some level, I identified with the kid. "The Boy Without a Flag" is a short story of a kid that loved to read a lot giving him some knowledge about politics. After reading a book that his father gave him about Albizu Campos, a Puerto Rican rebolutionary, he decided he would not salute the American flag.

For me the interesting part in this short story is how this kid believe fervently in something and everyone around him just tries to bring down his ideas. Now day most adults treat kids like some idiotic brats that know nothing thus their ideas and

    David Hammons Boy With Flag Summary

    I have chosen David Hammons’ work Boy with Flag (1968) to analyze. To me, I think this work shows literally a boy’s love for his country. The meaning of this work comes from the fact that the figure is hugging the flag and shows respect toward the country. Hammons created this work during a year where a few monumental things happened in the United States, three things having to do with racism. The first was Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, second African American athletes present at the Olympics made a stand, and third, the T.V. show Star Trek broadcasted the first interracial kiss.…

    The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Analysis

    John Boyne uses narrative voice and a variety of other literary devices to convey the main ideas of prejudice and discrimination, power of friendship and innocence in his novel “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (BITSP)”. Boyne’s novel portrays the story of a young German boy in Nazi Germany who befriends a Jewish child residing in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. The author explores prejudice and discrimination, power of friendship and ideas of innocence in his novel. Boyne uses third person limited narrative, dramatic irony, juxtaposition, setting and symbolism to convey these ideas in his novel. Boyne’s novel uses these techniques to create these ideas, giving us an insight into the experiences of the Jewish people during Nazi Germany.…

    Flags Of Our Fathers Analysis

    Americans, more than any country, tend to be very prideful of our young, yet extensive, war repertoire. Although there is nothing coherently wrong with this feeling of pride, we often forget the sacrifices made in the form of lives, in order for those iconic images to be taken. In James Bradley’s Flags of Our Fathers, he makes sure to emphasize the outer effects of war that reaches past that of what we can see in those instilled images. Specifically, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that helped lead to victory and who were not credited, and also the families that were crippled by this sense of emptiness and fear while their sons sacrificed their lives for their country. He also made sure the mention the effect media had on those that were home and unaffiliated with the war, and how in turn it inspired boys to be thrown into situations beyond what they expected. As the book follows the individual lives that raised the flag in Iwo Jima, we get to see from a close perspective how the war really looked liked, instead of how it was often depicted. Although pictures are used to tell our story as a nation, it fails to exemplify the degree of suffering that all those men had to go through.…

    Kids Are Kids Until They Commit Crimes Analysis

    In my own opinion, those teens who the world calls our “Young adults” is crap.

What is the point of telling a group of young people that they are the future, then be mad at them when they make mistakes?…

    Stereotypes Of Ageism In Canada

    This is a very dangerous mindset that adults are constantly participating in, due to the fact that it discourages teenagers from expressing, or even having their opinion when they’re adults. Moreover, it could encourage them to treat future teenagers with the same amount of disrespect when they’re older, which is deconstructive to both sides. Not only do teenagers deal with a repeatedly flippant attitude from adults, they have to endure the doubt that these stereotypes have instilled in…

    Crucible Events and Their Impact on Leadership

    One of the most important aspects a leader should possess is the ability to change his approach to the dynamic environment and culture that leaders phase in all organizations. Jawarlal Nehru said “A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action”. In this thesis I will like to point out two significant events that have changed my leadership style and will carry over not just to my military career but my personal life as well. The first crucible, that has helped to make me a better leader as a young battery commander I had with one of my Lieutenants that changed my approach towards what I believed is the perfect combination of a strong character leader and the sensitivity every leader should display at all levels of command. The second crucible event I will describe in this paper is the experience of working for a toxic leader who was reluctant to listen, understand and visualize problems during critical situations. As a future organizational leader I believe leaders need to understand and facilitate the legal orders given by their superior officers and at the same time display respect to the Soldiers affected by such orders. The organizational leader is the most important leader in the military because is the bridge that senior officers use in the military use pass order down the chain of command while at the same time the organizational leader needs to recognize the subordinates needs an pass these needs up the chain to the senior leadership to reach harmony in organization’s climate.…

    The Importance Of Oppression For Teenagers

    First of all, the primary source uses many words to describe adults’ actions to indicate the oppression teenagers suffered right now. Evidence like “clean up your looks,” “watch all the things you do,” “got methods of keeping you clean” and “rip up your heads” clearly show what kind of oppression teenagers have and what they need to resist. Adults are trying to make teenagers fit the “good standards” created by them. Good teenagers should be innocent, be obedient, study hard and so on. What’s more, adults are ready to find out teenagers’ mistakes at any time so that they could guide teenagers to what they thought is the correct way. They also want to make teenagers believe that the adults’ words are all right. Teenagers who live in such environment…
