Haig was seen as unnecessarily ordering men to run into No man’s land while the Germans shot at the allies like fish in a barrel. Supporting the statement that General Douglas Haig is ‘the butcher of the Somme’ Many of General Haig’s own men were against him because of his tactics and underestimation of weaponry. The main reasons for the soldiers being against Haig are the fact that he constantly sent them over the top even though he knew that the Germans were ready with their machine guns and that he lived in comfort while the soldiers battled it out. The evidence is a letter, written by Lieutenant J. A. Raws of the 23rd battalion addressing his family before his death: “We are lousy, stinking, ragged, unshaven, and sleepless.
David McCullough wrote 1776 to show the real side of George Washington and the Americans you know like going in depth of the true nature of the American army in the year 1776. Almost to prove that Washington was not the best in combat because of the 3 or 4 major loses in the year 1776. McCullough shows that you cannot fight a battle without someone who has powerful leadership skills. Commander-in-Chief George Washington of the American army was a man who educated his self. So there for he made some major mistakes in judgment.
Henry VIII deserves to be remembered as ‘Horrible Henry’? My essay is about whether Henry deserves to be remembered as ‘Horrible Henry’. One important point I’ll be making is that he does deserve that, because of some of the terrible things that he did in his life that I will be explaining in more detail further on. I will also be considering that he doesn’t deserve that image and that he did good things throughout his life. I think Henry VIII does deserve his image as ‘Horrible Henry’ as he did many bad things throughout his life.
He also makes it seem like everything is crumbling around Paul, and destroying all hope of survival and return to normal life for anyone who had experienced the front line. This is very different from pro-war poetry, which makes war seem fun. Something Remarque does either subconsciously or very well, is to make you feel sorry for the German and Central Powers’ soldiers, and to grow a subliminal hate for the allied soldiers, no matter who’s side you came in on. The Textbook also does this well, but in reverse. The Textbook gives off a sense of dislike towards the Central Powers, and made them seem primitive and destructive for no reason.
This is a sarcastic tone because the words are harsh and bitter. The purpose is state the disagreement. 2. The writer means that he doesn't care about compulsion because the immorality and unhappiness .As you can realize by the word ''Mr.Hitler'', no one likes him but they need to do everything that he ordered. Eye for an eye punishment is also mean in the negative way.
Source F is from J.L Jack’s diary showing that it was primary material. It was published after his death in 1964 so it is a secondary source. Jack was a company commander and second in command of the 2nd battalion cameronians showing that he had power with the position that he was in. the Diary was written about the events on the 1st July 1916 with the battle of the Somme which was renowned for being a horrific battle during the first world war. The negative tone in this source Is the fact of how desperate the men actually were.
The three things that affected North Vietnamese, hating Americans, living in harsh conditions and receiving severe injuries were all things they had to deal with during and after the war. They hated the Americans for causing deaths and poisoning land that will now cause problems for North Vietnamese today. The harsh conditions led to injuries which also made them hate Americans. As much as they hated them at that time, they now forgive and try to move forward from what happened. The Vietnam War definitely affected them in a bad way but at least they look into the future and not think of the past.
Such violence is really only the cause of Roy’s pain, his emotions controlling his actions conflicts with our prejudice. Frankenstein's Monster's anguish comes from the rejection he feels from society “Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all human kind sinned against me?”. Posing this Rhetorical question highlights the Irony of how the monster while innocent has been judged just as the reader has. Influenced by her father Mary Shelley's story of a monster portrays the idea that to be human goes beyond that of the body. The Monsters vulgarity and the Replicants perfection does not define them their reaction and action and the ability to think morally and ethically makes them human.
The truth in mental health lies somewhere between the shameless 20’s and the shameful war. As Americans we are taught to think that anything that has to do with the word shame is negative because the dictionary definition of the word shame means “the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable.” But shame can also mean “disgrace; ignominy.” More often than not shame is used when one would say they were a disgrace, which is why shame is always used when one wants to say something negative. In The Great Gatsby Scott Fizgerald redefines the word shame through the book, just like Tim O’Brien does in the “Things They Carried”. In the Great Gatsby Scott Fitzgerald argues that the word shameless should be redefined as careless. The Great Gatsby was at the time of the Roaring 20s where everything was new and if you were wealthy the world was basically your playground, if you were wealthy you didn’t really have much shame in what you did because you knew you could probably have someone else clean up the mess you made
Or like I’ll give away that I don’t deserve anyone’s gratitude and really they should all hate me for what I’ve done but everyone loves me for it and it’s driving me crazy” (Powers, 143). What makes this so powerful, is the fact that Bartle, the narrator of the book, feels like a monster, feels like a murderer, while the outside world views him as a hero; an image he believes is wrongfully painted upon soldiers who have killed and done injustice to humanity. While one can argue that the war was one huge injustice to humanity, the reasons why we started the war were to fix even greater
