What Is The 54th Regiment In Undying Glory
In Undying Glory I like how the 54th regiment never gave up for fighting for freedom. I like how Colonel Shaw never gave up on the regiment he was commanding after they had fail the President. I disliked how Colonel Montgomery shot one of the soldiers and wanted to throw him off the ship and i dislike that Colonel Montgomery because he had no respect for the 54th regiment. Like how it shows you pictures of what of men who fought and memorials of the 54th regiment. I disliked that people treated the 54th regiment like if they didn’t have those uniforms on.

    Summary Of The Movie Glory

    Glory is defined as being highly renowned, magnificent, or honored by excellent achievements. By definition, the 54th regime exhibited glory more than the rest of the Union army. These men were paid less, threatened with their lives, wrongfully treated, neglected of proper gear, and not allowed to reach their highest military rank, yet they still rose to every occasion to fight for the Union, to win their true freedom, and reunite a country that had kept the African-American people in the shadows.…

    Gary Cooper: Film Analysis

    1.I believe what makes this film so great is the plot of the film combined with the actors ability to give life to the story. Gary Cooper who plays Kane in the film, is an upstanding and ethically good man. Since he demonstrates these characteristics in the film, he makes a believable Marshall. Another reason why this film is so great, is because of the hero premise. I believe this causes the "unsung hero" to resonate with the audience's feelings. This is shown at the very end of the film after the Marshall had confronted the criminals. Even though Kane had stopped Miller, no one in the town cheers or celebrates. They kinda of just accept it as it is and just move on without giving their thanks to the Marshall.…

    The 54th Regiment: Experience In The War

    The 54th regiment had barely any experience in the war because they were either known as runaway slaves or free black men. They didn't exactly have the right to fight in the war. The Union was known to defeat and had to come up with something to win the war, and so they made an army consisting of only black men. All of this was not only new to them, but to everyone else and the black men who volunteered to fight.…

    Summary Of This Republic Of Suffering

    The author effectively explains the need for soldiers to die a good death despite missing most characteristics of a traditional death. She helps the reader empathize with the hard decisions that soldiers and military leaders had to make when killing other men that were so like themselves, who were sometimes neighbors or even related by blood. I did feel like the book was somewhat repetitious about certain aspects, but once it moved forward into explaining more facets of the country dealing with the expansive casualties involved with the war, I felt that it was very informative and in depth. I think that anyone that is interested in the early development of our current culture would like to learn about the effect death played in helping to modernize our…

    Red Badge Of Courage Passage Analysis

    2. One passage that i found in the Red Badge of Courage that had much confusion would have to be in chapter 10. In this chapter, a young man keeps calling Henry the name Tom Jamison. Henry can obviously knows he is suffering from a head wound. These passages can be very different and similar. They are similar in the since of war, but are different in perspective and in detail. General Pleaston's passage makes me feel as if was really experiencing war. I believe this passage makes me feel this way because of the descriptive details the author uses. I also chose this passage because it was from real events. A passage that can offer a blow b blow description of events in battles would probably…

    Leadership In The Film Glory

    The film Glory, gives the audiences the chance to witness the close relationship between two very different men: Private Thomas Searles and Private Silas Trip. Searles and Trip started out as men from different lifestyles who have an aversion towards one another. Trip constantly mocked Thomas for being different compared to the other black man. Trip kept on bothering Searles because he was jealous of his lifestyle. Trip was surprised that Thomas talked "as good as a white folk” (Fields and Zwick 1989). Their relationship takes a substantial turn on the battlefield when Trip is about to be killed and Thomas bravely jumps in to saves him. They supported each other and ended up developing a brotherly bond through the movie. Together they put away their differences and together used their passion to fight bravely side by side in the war. Although these men grew up in different lifestyles, when they become part of the 54th Regiment they showed the best leadership. Both Searles and Trip fit the leadership fit because they showed determination and courage throughout the film.…

    Unknown Soldier's Honor

    “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” These words may only be a song but these words have power. Men and Woman give there lives to protect the country, they give up everything to fight for this country, even though most of us are not grateful enough, They fight for the rights we have, each and every one of us, and they deserve our appreciation. I believe that the Unknown Soldier deserves just as much appreciation. The Wreath Ceremony would be an amazing honor to participate in and honor the Unknown Soldier and all this Soldier has given to protect us. This is truly an honor for whoever is chosen, I personally want to participate in the Wreath Ceremony because…

    Theme of Colored Soldiers

    The bravery of these soldiers is inspirational. Most of these soldiers were escaped slaves that had no previous war experience. Still they rose to fight for their freedom. Although, they were thought of as not being worthy of war their racial pride drove them into the war. Dunbar made it clear through the poem that they were a part of the turning point for the union in the Civil War.…

    For the Union Dead Poem Explication

    The sixth stanza begins a new page and a new topic. A statue and a parking lot are going up in place of the old aquarium. It’s almost a mockery of the lives that were lost. The seventh stanza begins a section in which it speaks only of the war and battles in which Colonel Shaw was involved, and, in turn, the monument of him and his soldiers. The seventh stanza describes the battle as almost lost, and the soldiers, who were all black, are now immortally bronze. The eighth stanza speaks of the rampant racism in the city, and begins to talk of the Colonel himself (and of the statue which represents him). The ninth stanza keeps on with the Colonel, describing him as an angry, private, thin man. According to the tenth stanza, he is also somewhat power hungry, reveling in man’s “power” over life and death. He is firm, never bending, just like the statue that bears his likeness. The eleventh stanza speaks of patriotism that is found in tattered flags and every single town that looks the same as all of the rest, yet they still stand. They are weathered, old, and battered, and still they are firm in their pride and country. The twelfth stanza indicates that the statues and monuments lay long forgotten, a bare remnant of the glory…
