He will risk his own son who had an impairment to join the war. Not only for his country’s sake but he wanted to make Jack feel the glory of war. With the word glory, it seems that Rudyard really felt his country’s superiority over the other countries. On the other hand, Jack also wanted to join. He even underwent military training and he struggled.
DAILY LIFE IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP The journey towards concentration camps of the Holocaust began with the arrival of the Jews at the concentration camps in trains, having travelled for several days without food and water. They were ordered to then get off the train, and get ready to work. The Jews were always criticized by officers, telling them that they ought to put their lives to some constructive use. Men were made to perform laborious tasks, while women were either to work with the men or maintain the house. Children were to go to school.
The year after, the camp was temporarily transformed into an Armed Forces Training Camp. All prisoners were transferred to Buchenwald, Mauthausen, and Flossenbuerg. After the prisoners returned in February 1940, a new horror would come: prisoner selection. SS doctors would select prisoners deemed to be too ill to work. Continuing the punishment, a crematorium site was chosen.
The most important detail that affected this case is that in December 7th of 1941, Japanese fighter pilots intentionally attacked an American naval base right off of Honolulu, Hawaii. This meant bad news for the United States. According to America’s Best History, On February 19, 1942, The Executive order 9066 is signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, confining 110,000 Japanese Americans, including 75,000 citizens, on the West Coast into relocation camps during World War II. The remains of the first of these detention camps resides in California's Manzanar National Historic Site. These camps would last for three years.
“When Justice Failed’’ Diary December 7, 1941. President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, authorizing the U.S. military to remove over 120,000 people of Japanese descent from their homes and forced them into American prison camps throughout the United States. The people are stunned. They don’t know what they need to do. I feel very dismayed.
Nazi Death Marches During WWII, Hitler ordered for all Jews to be taken to work camps, where they were forced to work in with little to no food. Most of the time the Jews would be making stuff for the German army such as, tools or clothing. The Jews had to have a strong spirit, or they would perish. But, towards the end of the war American troops invaded Germany, finding the work camps. Afraid of the American troops finding the work camps; Hitler ordered all work camps to be evacuated to death camps deep in Germany.
In 1948, Communist East Germany, frustrated with the exodus of hundreds of thousands of young skilled laborers, closed all border crossings in and out of East Germany, trapping over a million West Berlin citizens with little food, money, or fuel over a hundred miles inside East Germany. For 462 days the Allies, mainly the US, provided the Berlin Airlift, flying thousands of pounds of food, fuel and supplies into West Berlin. The Soviets lifted the blockaded routes in 1949 (Newseum). For the next twelve years about two and a half million refugees fled East Germany to the west through the ‘escape hatch’ that was Berlin. The GDR knew they needed to stop the exodus.
It was here that the then US president, Roosevelt issues an order that authorized detainment of all Japanese-American to various concentration camps. After various attempts, Mama Wakatsuki and her family is sent to one of these concentration style camps called Manzanar (Houston & Houston, 2002). Little choice was available to Jeanne and other Japanese-American families. The families are squatted in a barrack that is shared among other families. The living conditions are worse as the floors of the barracks are made of planks that have large worn out knotholes.
Me and my classmates were fed all those great examples of people fighting during Second World War sacrificing their lives and not even dare to look for any kind of reward other then admitting them into “hero ranks” of their “great” country. Fighting for reward was not hero like behavior. I realize though that this understanding of hero was more due to the norms and obligations of certain time and society. In “The Iliad” hero is noted for his courage and strength and desire to fight especially if they risk their life or put it in any kind of danger. But at the same time Homer also pays great attention to rewards, heroes get for their fighting.
Lieutenant Fick, the author of the book “One bullet away: the making of a good officer”, has been to war, and thinks that the most important thing about the military is, that the war and the training before the war are teaching you about honor, courage, brotherhood and commitment. Things that is very important to become a good citizen. 2. How does Sarah Palin engage the reader? Sarah Palin is trying to unite the reader and her self, by using “we”, a lot of times.
