With firefights, life and death situations, and the mourning of their fellow soldiers, Restrepo showed that when it comes to war, even when we win, everyone still loses. At war, winning is the main goal. Defeating the opposing side and fighting for your country is what soldiers sign up to do. However, even when the soldiers accomplish their goal, and survive the war, a part of them still dies. They will never be the same person they were before they left for war because what they see, experience and feel will change them no matter how tough they are.
Also, Johnson uses personal references to show importance in learning to fear less of the inevitable bombs, as well as, taking away the knowledge that death is inevitable, but one can live life without fearing this final explosion. Lastly, Johnson uses exemplification to prove everyone experiences countless destructive bombs, but to truly live life one must not hold onto misery nor fear. Johnson’s writing drives a very important lesson in which everyone should know and carry with them throughout life. Johnson shows that with youth, bombs are not necessarily felt until a bomb explodes enough to burn up one’s innocence away. Johnson writes, “For although our sorrow was real, we still had some sense of a protective curtain between us and the bombs” (213).
The Birthmark By: Nathaniel Hawthorne The main characters of this story are Aylmer and Georgiana, a husband and wife wrapped up in a story full of symbolism. Aylmer is a scientist, famous for his many experiments and potions, disgusted with a birthmark on his wife’s cheek. Georgiana is Aylmer’s pretty, intelligent and eager to please wife, who’s only flaw seems to be a birthmark on her cheek. The birthmark could symbolize human imperfection and mortality in this story. If not for the birthmark on Georgiana’s face, she would have been perfect in Aylmer’s obsessed eyes, dare say perhaps, immortal.

He had loved Martha more than his men, and as consequence Lavender was now dead…” (O’Brien,1990). This epiphany drives Lieutenant Cross to think hard about his situation and make a key decision to focus more on the task at hand and less on his desires. His internal conflict is resolved with burning the pictures and letters of his former love interest. Even though he knows he cannot forget nor will it bring back his lost comrade, he presses forward to become the leader he was entrusted to be. While the conflict of individual vs. self is resolved in this story, the same conflict in “The Raven” is not so easily dismissed.
The families experience fear, especially the children and wives, when there are break-ins and scares of intruders coming to turn them into the Nazi’s.

Kathy Garcia an expert on traumatic grief whose nephew was murdered and who founded the Center for Traumatic Grief addresses this problem “When family members have differing views on capital punishment, the introduction of the possibility of a capital charge can split family members at the very time they need each other most. I know families who still do not speak to each other because of the wedge driven between them by fighting over that choice.” Families can be ruined in the time where family is most important. Like the public families have different thoughts on the death penalty dad says yes on the sentence mom says no when dealing with someone life is a very serious choice. Live or die how can anyone choose, the human nature of revenge kicks in and people say that they must die for what they did but on the other some people say if they die how does that make them any

In order to have a successful rebellion one must have hope that one's cause will work.
