Everything We Had (aff) brings together the oral histories of 33 men who completed tours of duty‚ from ordinary private-level soldiers to commanding officers. It is this variety and personal focus from man to man which makes this work so readable – each soldier has a different story to tell and the experiences one man had varies wildly from the next. The time scale is pretty impressive as Santoli has looked at men who were there right from the start in the military advisers phase‚ around 1962‚ to

The Welfare System Must Remain Public Welfare is an important support system of the United States government. Welfare has its benefits‚ but the system has pitfalls. Instead of abolishing welfare as critics of the system suggest‚ reforms can be made to correct the problems while government‚ either on the state or federal level‚ can continue to assist the impoverished. The term welfare is used to describe a variety of programs that provide income support and create a safety net for poor individuals

Effects on Language The Indians adopted the English language as their main form of communication and national language. The missionaries who went to India during the early colonial days introduced this language. In addition‚ most of the educated Indians preferred to communicate in English. This was to portray their civilization level and also help them catch up with the English ways‚ which they all pursued passionately. For example‚ we are told that some of them like Lola’s daughter‚ Pixie‚ have

Legislative History Must be used When the wording of a statute is not clear and explicit‚ then it is difficult to know how a particular statute should be applied. Supreme Court Justice Scalia wrongly clams that legislative history should not be used when interpreting an ambiguous statute’s meaning. He is wrong to state that it is undemocratic to use legislative history because legislators‚ staffers‚ and lobbyists are all a part of the process of the creation of statutes. Legislators often intentionally

Discipline is a must at home and in school. Discipline is the training of the mind and character; the exercise‚ development and control of the character‚ intended to produce obedience and orderly behavior. The definition above is apt enough for the type of discipline intended for the young people at school. The need for disciplining young people cannot be over-emphasized. A wise saying goes “Spare the rod and spoilt the child”. An undisciplined child becomes a spoil child. The disciplining does

MINI ESSAY: Hitler’s Rise to Power “Hitler’s rise to power was due more to the weakness of the Weimar Republic than his own strengths.” I agree with this statement to a large extent due to the various evident shortcomings in the means by which the Weimar government addressed issues faced by Germans in the years leading to Hitler’s rise to power. The Weimar Government was a coalition government made of many parties that had proportional representation. As there were too many political

The Spread of Islam started shortly after the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 632.

In rhyme and meter‚ Claude McKay’s “If We Must Die” generally conforms to the conventions of a Shakespearean sonnet‚ but at several moments throughout the poem‚ McKay also strays from the rules of the English sonnet. In composing his poem in the style of the traditional Shakespearean sonnet‚ McKay creates a clear narrative that is both easy to follow and equally artistic. However‚ in deviating from this conventional style‚ McKay draws attention to specific phrases that contribute greatly to the contrasting
