His actions discouraged loyalty to the colonial government and England. Pretty soon, Bacon’s Rebellion group convinced him to lead them in fighting against the Indian tribes. He and his men attacked Indians that were causing trouble as well as innocent Indian tribes that only wanted peace. Even though he was denied commission to attack the hostile Native Americans, he did it anyway along with attacking friendly Natives, too. This was, in my opinion, the event that officially qualifies him as a traitor; the fact that he disobeyed the government whenever he pleased.
They seem to be indifferent to the fact that they have killed someone because assassination merely becomes their ‘job.’ In a similar manner, Generals Die in Bed by Charles Yale Harrison, is inclusive of the same insensitiveness and indifference towards the death and murdering of people. The narrator says, “I lunge forward aiming at his stomach. It is a lightening, instinctive move…I become insane…I want to strike again and again.”(Harrison, 26-27) Since this was an “instinctive” move, he didn’t even think over the fact that he is taking someone’s life nor have any humane feelings which prove that he has become inhumane towards a person’s life. In addition, a humane individual would experience feelings of regret and guilt, but instead he has the urge to stab him continuously. He becomes one of the negative byproducts of the war because it causes him to become “insane” and inconsiderate towards the sentimental values associated with death.
Martin Luther King gave many speeches about racism and how people should not be judged by the colour of their skin, but on the basis of their character. Days later after he presented some of his speeches, his relatives’ houses were lit on fire and were completely destroyed by rebellions. His relatives begged him to stop but he did not listen but continued and kept persevering. Since Louis Riel had given the Provisional Government permission to arrest and kill Thomas Scott, he was labelled as a criminal and was issued a warrant
Viet Cong, communist soldiers hiding in South Vietnam set explosives in buildings, cars and military bases to harass the Americans and their South Vietnamese allies. These terroristic acts on the South killed soldiers and civilians all the same. The guerilla warfare did not stop on the streets. Booby traps in the jungle and falling down holes with pungi sticks impaling young soldiers were the fears of patrols, not actual gunfire contact. Soon, America knew that conventional warfare tactics with the communist guerilla fighters would not work.
The opposed alternative reading is different. The alternative audience would have seen Michaels Moore’s opinion of gun possession to be offensive and a form of mockery as they believed that there should be no limitation for every American to have the right to protect themselves and their families. Nobody could change their minds when such strong proof This alternative reading is due to the timing of the release of the documentary in 2002. People were still recovering from the 9/11 attack and many still remembered the Columbine shooting. So many friends and family had been lost, people were angry and wanted someone to blame, so when the time came and the war of terror was announced many civilians were for it.
The war was pointless in the American’s eyes and they thought that America had no right to impose its views on Vietnam. Napalm, a jellied gasoline, was used in the Vietnam as tactic for the Americans. As they drop Napalm onto Vietnam, it lures out the Vietcong from their hiding places due to the black smoke spreading from the explosion. But by doing that, the bomb killed many innocent villagers, children and women that had nothing to do with the war. Source A suggests that US used the air raid for chasing out the Vietcong that were hiding because it shows in the source that many Vietnamese Children are running away from the danger that the American troops are causing.
As well as this the fighting itself was filmed and broadcasted in North Vietnam to show that they had successfully attacked and breached the American defences. The information was then relayed back to the United States and shown, through the media and press, to the public. At this time Americans believed that the war was coming to an end and that they had almost total control over Vietnam. This was obviously not the case - as they soon found out. The images that were broadcasted all over America did not please the public and before long riots and protests were being held in the streets to end the war.
After destroying so much on our way through to South Carolina, it seemed that we had lost sense of what the war was about. It got to a point where we were just destroying land for no reason that just to waste it. By the end of it all, we destroyed 300 miles of railroad, bridges, and miles of telegraph lines. I thought damage to all the forms of transportation and communication were the best advantage to us, but everything else felt dangerous and wasteful. I couldn’t help but feel like I was still in danger, so right before we finished the “march to sea”, I got the hell out of dodge in the middle of the night and headed North to try and get to a free state.
There was even a UN force (UNAMIR) there, monitoring the ceasefire and were now obliged to watch as people were killed in the street by grenades, guns and machetes because they weren’t authorized to leave the country yet. It would be common sense for someone else to come into the country and bring peace, but people would prefer act blind and not do anything, to actually help. Aware from the start that Tutsi were being targeted for elimination, the leading foreign actors refused to acknowledge the genocide. In the end, they decided to help, and it was all
I quickly turned to Perseus and asked him to get his fire sword. With deep regret, Perseus murmured back to me that he forgot to grab it before leaving the house. I turned my head back to Theseus with deep regret. We began lunging at each other with our weapons. Theseus trying to avoid any contact with the Supreme shovel because he knew very well that the shovel could disintegrate anything with ease.
