This means he had both positional authority and ranking authority, which I say because one does not dictate the other. Now that we know what Lt. Cross position was, we need to determine what his obligations were. Well the narrator tells us fairly early in the story, “As first lieutenant and platoon leader, Jimmy Cross carried a compass, maps, code books, binoculars and a .45-caliber pistol that weighed 2.9 pounds fully loaded. He carried a strobe light and the responsibility for the lives of his men.” This alone does not condemn Lt. Cross because it has not yet been intimated the circumstances of Ted Lavenders death. However we soon find out how Mr.
My part of the group project Introduction: In this task I am going to show what part of the leaflet that I have done and I will also state where I got the information from. My part of the leaflet was to find a information on 3 players so I had to produce 3 pages. My first page that I produced The rest is my own text This is information is from internet (arsenal.com) This information is from metro newspaper I used this information from my research in AO4 As you can see this is the first page that I have created. It’s about Cesc Fabregas one of the best players of all time. Most of the information it’s from a website called arsenal.com apart from the information in the red box which is my own information and also information from metro news paper.
I recommend this book because it not only gives you a look into the life of a grunt, but also into the most recent war America has been involved in. Danelo’s book is also a very good book with a lot of action that will keep your heart pounding if you are into the book. Although no one will ever understand what kind of brother ship these men have and how to be a leader under immense stress, reading this book will give a better understanding to the reader. If I had to rate Danelo’s “Blood Stripes” on a scale from one to ten based the detail of information given and the deciphering of war into words then I would give this book a perfect score and recommend it to anyone that is looking for a good book to
Josiah was married to two women and Abiah was his second wife. In total, Josiah had seventeen children, ten by Abiah. Franklin was their last son and the third youngest of the ten. Judging by the book, Franklin seemed to adore and respect his father enormously. He always listened to every piece advice his father shared with him especially when it came to his writing.
He was brought up being told war stories of his father fighting for Germany and all the glory and honours surrounding it as he quotes in the story “My father is a patriot a true German”. His father was high up in the ranks of the army and we can suspect Erich aspired to rise to his position one day. I western culture we can find most people want a father figures respect and strive to make them proud more than any other family member which is why he did not listen to his sister’s pleas not to go to
Some of the soldiers became sick from sleeping on the damp ground. After reading Brownie letters, I realize that America engaged in World War One without structure and organization for the military to live, train, and clothing and other needs the military required. I felt that the United States would have been more sufficient with the housing, sleeping quarters, food and clothing. This goes to show there were no organization with the military before the enlisting and drafting. I believed before reading Brownie letters the United States would have been sufficient in all the needs for the American military.
The Man I Killed Over 58,000 United States soldiers died in the Vietnam War. The men and women of this war that did survive not only brought back physical wounds but also emotional luggage. In the novel “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien the chapter “The Man I Killed” portrays that the physical hardship soldiers go through during the war does not even compare to the emotional wounds soldiers had to withstand. The soldiers carried physical items and mental thoughts. Each soldier carried different things for example Mitchell Sanders had to carry a radio that weighed 26 pounds because he was the RTO of the platoon.
There was usually always at least one reference note in every section, which makes me believe that Kittelson really took his time when writing this book. He made sure that every little detail about Luther was as accurate as he could get. In the bibliography at the end of the book, there is over one hundred different sources. Kittelson admits in the bibliography that creating one on Martin Luther is nearly impossible, but he does an excellent job collecting both primary and secondary sources to make sure that every detail he puts into his book describes Martin Luther’s whole life and displays him as “the whole man." Kittelson portrayed many good things that happened in Martin Luther’s life in detail.
Not many veterans openly discuss the war, and for good reason. I think this novel depicts many gruesome stories that not many people would want to remember. O’Brian goes in to great detail about the wounds that the man he killed received.
If any American is a hero, soldiers are the protectors of the heroes. I have always adored the men in uniforms who go marching in parades, full of pride, but behind that patriotic appearance are lives and experiences that most of us don’t know. A Marine once told me: “The only news you hear from us is pretty much when we get killed”. It is something of a daily routine that a soldier has to witness his roommates being shot down in a combat in Iraq and yet he still must strike forward to face death himself. There are but three choices for a soldier: to die in battle, to win as an anonymous hero together with thousands of his friends or to lose as a forgotten life.
