I’m going to use Kathryn Bigelow’s 2008 film‚ “The Hurt Locker‚” for my final project. The film is about an Iraq War Explosive Ordnance Disposal team who are being targeted by insurgents through use of booby traps‚ remote control detonations‚ and ambushes. The Hurt Locker shows soldiers’ varying psychological reactions to the stress of combat‚ which though intolerable to some‚ is addictive to others. I’m not a soldier and have never fired a weapon on the battle field‚ but I am a war survivor. I came

The Sand Storm is a play by Sean Huze in which a series of monologues about the Iraq war are performed by a group of Marines. Both of these follow a series of characters through the war and shows it affects them not only as a soldier in the war but as a civilian back home. To compare and contrast these I would look at the base similarities and differences first‚ and then move on to a more analytical

you saunter into the locker room you‚ get a stench of old and yucky sweat‚ but also a little whiff of victory. There are posters of all the teams that have gone undefeated‚ and I wanted to be on a fresh and new poster that pronounced “2016-2017 Warriors seven wins and zero losses”.

Should student’s lockers be checked? I think that lockers should be checked because there could be drugs‚ alcohol‚ and weapons in the lockers. Bringing all of this stuff to school is highly against the rules and against the law. These things could kill you and you could kill others. If student’s lockers were checked it would reduce the gun killing and selling of drugs. Student’s lockers should be checked randomly. With randomly checking the lockers‚ students will not know what day they
