Trench warfare Trench warfare is where rival armies dug themselves a trench, in order to protect themselves from gun fire from side. Life in the Trenches during World War 1 was terrible. Conditions were disgusting, the first thing a new recruit would notice was the smell, rotting bodies barely buried under the ground, men who hadn’t washed in weeks because there were no facilities for them to use. Although these smells were repulsive, new recruits soon got used to them and contributed to it with their own bodily odour. Disease and infection was very common in these conditions.
They had to use their tins and duck behind the sheds in the trenches. Not only was this incredibly unhygienic and caused many diseases among the soldiers, but they were also dodging bullets. The enemy would shot them as they went to the toilet and because they were pre-occupied they could not defend themselves. The toilets were a grim place to be, cans of overflowing sewage, undetectable bullets and often the bodies of men who had died in the act. Another terrible problem was the rats.
In the essay, Sommers mentioned about the boys “used candles and matches to start a little bonfire” on the desert, and they “loved it”. Even experts in America’s schools, universities, government agencies “having spent more than a decade trying to resocialize boys away from “toxic masculinity”. Moreover, in American school, gender reformers discovered that “young boys enjoy: dodge ball, cops and robbers, reading or listening to stories about battles and war heroes”. It is a fact that men are naturally violent, not about conditioning. The fact about men are naturally violent is more proven when psychology suggested that “masculine traits are hard-wired.” Psychology one more time confirmed that “males have better spatial reasoning skills, females are better verbal skills.

In the summer the heat so intense that in joining with the bad hygiene and the huge amount of flies eating was a hard thing to do.

The new weapon napalm was used to burn villages many lives in Vietnam were lost as they were in South Africa. Both countries were both ruins and its people were angry as is shown in the language of the two poems. Both these poems are full of bitterness. The black poet who wrote Nothing’s Changed uses a vicious irony “we know where we belong” to show that he feels blacks and whites will never truly reconcile.

Because once you get to the filter, there is no tobacco left to smoke, and the people are being shown as the tobacco in this advertisement. So once they have smoked until they can’t anymore, they are dead. Smoking is leaving people helpless, and this advertisement is showing that they have no way of escaping the addiction.

People throw cigarette butts on the ground instead of in the trash to try and keep out campus looking clean. Certain people might think otherwise because having a smoke-free campus would jeopardize some people’s health. Smoking can be addictive but can help people in some positive ways for that moment. The designated smoke areas sounded like a good idea at first so that smokers would have specific places to smoke under certain rules.
In the Sassoon’s poem “Aftermath,” he explains war as something that can never be forgotten. The distasteful thought haunts everyone to the point where war completely takes over the human mind. He documented the war environment as something that was unbearable to live at. Waking up next to a fellow member and seeing their body decay was worrisome. The rats crawling everywhere because the environment was not clean and unsanitary was frightening to see.
