    Field Marshal Haig: “Hero or Butcher of the Somme” I consider the field marshal as a butcher and a hero for numerous reasons. While the insinuation of Haig as a butcher ignores many positives that he possessed‚ the implication of him being a hero also neglects negatives that the field marshal obtains. Although the winning of the war had come at the sacrifice of a vast number of soldiers‚ we must not forget that the general had achieved his primary objective even if it had been accomplished in

    The Knights tale was the first and best tale told in The Canterbury Tales and I think it should win because of how much I absolutely love Knights. A skilled and heroic man covered in metal armor who lives to help others in need. That idea of a person with that kind of personality is just really interesting to me. It also makes me want to be more like a knight whenever I think or talk about them. Although Palamon and Arcite‚ the main character in the Knights tale‚ are bad examples of what

    Does General Haig deserve to be remembered as ‘the butcher of the Somme’? General Haig was a famous general who won the last war in the First World War‚ he should be remembered as a hero‚ but why do people reckon him to be the opposite‚ as a butcher? As the ‘Butcher of the Somme ’? In my point of view‚ I think of general as a butcher rather than a hero‚ for he‚ in the first battle in the First World War‚ the battle of Somme‚ he used 420000 soldiers to defeat 500000 Germans soldiers and gain 10

This is the mastery of Shakespeare… So is Macbeth a butcher; and Lady Macbeth a fiend-like
