World War One Letter
Dear Aunt Bessie

In order for me to be better, I have to give the best and to give the best I am going to donate the money I have. All together it adds up to almost one million but its in three different groups; One hundred thousand for child labor, three hundred thousand for women’s right and six hundred thousand for the meat packing industry. I already have everything I need so why not help out others. First off no matter how much money you have, it can help anyone that is in need. Three hundred thousand is a lot, and its sad to see young adults and children suffer and to prevent this I am going to donate to a coal company in Pennsylvania where breaker boys work and try to make a living. I understand that you didn’t expect this from me, but I wasn’t going to let the money go to waste if I don’t need it. So, why not help others out who suffer from their surroundings due to their work habits. This breaker boys inhale dangerous chemicals as they work, get burned badly, and smother to death. This money can change their life’s, they can maybe even get something out of this. If you were in the shoes, I wouldn’t you certainly beg for anyone’s help you could get? That’s why I made a better decision then to suit myself with this money. Secondly, I also decided to stand for women’s right and help out other females out there in the world. By this I mean her simplest duties; Raising her kids, cleaning, cooking and much more, but in order for women to do this they need a household that can provide all of this and this is what they don’t have. Three hundred thousand to a settlement house in Chicago is where the money will be going to. You as a mother know how hard it is to complete your duties but imagine how much harder it is if you have to complete it without any materials due to your living condition. Wouldn’t you want to help them just knowing how hard it is and because what they go through. They pretty much put others first rather then themselves first which is

    After reading the novel there were many things about my feelings towards war. Before reading the novel I always knew that war was a hard thing on a person, emotionally and physically. During the read it really showed me that what soldiers go through is really rough, from being in the war but even when returning home. One of the things that stuck out to me is how homesick soldiers get while fighting. While fighting the thought of killing humans, but yet also get yourself killed if you do one thing wrong or make a wrong step somewhere. "I will come back again" chapter 10 page #258 This Is a quote that sticks out to me in this situation. Because it just shows how hard the wars on them and how much they wanted to come back home, also how they…

    World War II is an event that deserves commemoration. 404,800 american troops died in this war serving their country. They all, in some way, helped make our country the way it is today. Each and everyone of them deserves honor and respect from those whom they fought for. The World War II memorial helps make that possible. “Blood alone moves the wheels of history,” said Benito Mussolini, Fascist dictator of Italy during WWII. The troops of World War II shed their blood in order to protect their country, This War was very significant because of the high amount of lives lost and the big impact it had.…

    Today at the shore, I was sucking in some coffin nails when a cricket ball exploded meters away from our platoon. The troops had a speechless expression on their dials. A few hundred meters a lot of stoushing was going on with the Abduls and us. We had to make three more A.N.Z.A.C soups yesterday. The amount of men they Abduls stole from us is unforgiveable. The majority of our men died from aunties right in front of our eyes and the few that survived had to take some Aussies home.…

    I wanted to write you this letter because now the Great War is over and there are some topics that I wanted to address, and, since we haven’t talked since the war started, I wanted to make sure that you know that I am okay. As you most likely know, I’m still living and working in Washington County, Virginia. I haven’t had much involvement in the war efforts myself, however, I am waiting for my husband’s return from fighting in Europe, or a letter saying that he has passed away. Since he is gone, I have had to take care of the farm and work a low-salary part-time job, which has changed my everyday life a lot.…

    During life in the trenches the soldiers had to find ways to keep their morale up. They did not have too many options to do that. One if the things that was very important to the troops was their food. Even though a lot of times, the conditions of the temperatures left the foods molded and rotted. Receiving letters from their families and friends was equally as important in contributing to the sanity and well-being of the soldiers and their families. The therapy of writing letters and sending them back home not only kept them up to date on the lives that awaited them, but the communication gave them some hope, even if it was just a little.…

Yesterday was the first day that the British and French used their tanks they are slow but can take somewhat of a beating and do some major damage to the germans. Well i could not finish yesterday's entry we had to take cover because the germans started to bombard us with artillery fire and we lost about 30 people in about two minutes and we found their body covered in rats this morning.

    I hope all is well at home. Tell everyone that I miss them very much. I managed to find some paper to write on so I can send you this letter. It’s cold and rainy often here and they haven’t blown the whistle in a while. I have been in the trenches for nearly a month with the British troops. It feels like I have been here for years. “I am preparing to go to the front and I am only sorry that I did not see you all before I went but then mother dear do not lose heart, I may come back again. And mother dear, do have courage. I will be alright, there are thousands of other mothers and relatives in the same circumstances and if I do die I will die with a good heart and all your love upon my lips.”1 I’m hungry all the time because food is scarce. Even when we get food, it is awful. The bread is so raw and dry that sometimes I do not even bother eating it. “This is a place to be in, we have to fight like tigers to get our food here soon as ever it comes up… some get a lot and some don’t get any. If we have money it is a hard job to spend it, if you go the coffee shop or canteen, you have to wait about two hours before it is your turn to be served. If I get through this lot, no more for me.”2 War is definitely not what I expected it to be. Death and disease is all around me and the naïve, glorious thoughts I had about war have now disappeared. “Piles of bodies lie next to me at all times, wounded, dead, or even men…

    Before this project I did not think about the injustice of minimum wage when it came to supporting a family. Now I realize that many Americans are dealing with poverty due to minimum wage. Their wages aren't supporting all the necessities that they need. There are an ample amount of problems in the world that need to be fixed. We should care for our brothers and sisters in Christ that are dealing with hardships. Also, we should care for nature and our environment. Now I am more aware of injustices that are going on today, and I am motivated to help make a…

    Leaving your family and loved ones home while you go fight for your country must be harder than I can ever imagine but somehow the soldiers of the United States have been doing it for centuries and made it look easy. But of course the letters that they write home to their families are heartbreaking and emotional, and knowing you may never see them again is a horrible feeling. On July 14th, 1861, Major Sullivan Ballou wrote a beautiful letter to his wife Sarah, and then died in battle a week later at Bull Run. “My very dear Sarah: The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days—perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more.” When I read this part of the letter, I felt sympathy knowing they never saw each other again after he wrote this, but he probably knew that he didn’t have a good chance of surviving and that’s why he wrote her one last letter, but he mentions other interesting things in his letter also, “I know how strongly American Civilization now leans upon the triumph of the Government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing—perfectly willing—to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt.” When Sullivan Ballou writes this to his wife, I think he is just trying to remind her that what he is doing is for a good cause and she shouldn’t be upset because he wants to be fighting for his country and he feels he is giving back to America for what they have done for us in the past. It’s clear most soldiers feel they need to be out on the battle field because that’s where they feel most at home but there is no doubt that it was very hard decision to choose the battle field over their families, as Major Sullivan feels, “Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me to you with…
