I believe that Relationships are the connections between people which can be expressed in many different ways or situations. In the poem ‘manhunt’ by Simon Armitage he explores the relationship between a wife and her husband, whom is an injured solider who has returned from war. In nettles, the relationship is between a farther and his son who has fallen into a "bed of nettles." Both poets show the consideration felt by the reader of the poem for the other person in the relationship. In the manhunt, the narrator’s consideration is for the mental suffering which her husband is suffering.
What things might a soldier experience in war? What things would a soldier experience enough to ultimately change him? In Harrison’s novel Generals Die in Bed (GDIB), the horror of war is an underlying theme and is depicted through many of the challenges the narrator encounters in the text. The horror of war is portrayed through the course of the novel through things such as having a constant fear of the unknown, the psychological effects of war, man’s inhumanity to other men, and ultimately: death. Not knowing what’s around the corner is always a terrifying feeling.
Ernst Jünger of Germany and Robert Graves of England, both men born in the higher class, fought for their respective nations in World War One. Their motives, responses to war and the terrors that accompany it, and their experiences while serving unrelated to trench warfare are all recorded in their autobiographies. Similarities exist between their understandings of trench warfare, especially in their contacts with “the enemy froces;” however, the differences are apparent. How each man viewed his status among his peers, his relationship with the men he leads, and his place in society is told in the anecdotes within each account of war. Each man writes more than just an account of the battles he fought in during World War One; each narrative is his account of the relationships he involves himself in, with men he grew up with, with men he led, with the people of the occupied France, and with the men he fought to kill.
Misto does this in a humorous and often confronting manner. Through the use of distinctively visual techniques, it leads us to think about significant issues in the world, such as the mistreatment that the prisoners of war endure, the affects that the war has on the survivors and the ability of the human spirit to overcome hardships experienced in war. One significant worldly issue john Misto explores in the play is the mistreatment that the prisoners of war endure. The distinctively visual elements in the play enable the audience to visualize what Bridie and Sheila endured during their imprisonment. This is evident in act 1, scene 1.
In “Fly Away Peter” Malouf constructs characters to show how war affects people. He juxtaposes the violence of war against the calm sanctuary like, home of Jim. Malouf creates powerful scenes which convey how soldiers dealt with the tragedy of the slaughter of fallen comrades and which reveal the fear within each
How does Barker present the effects of war in ‘Regeneration.’ Regeneration by Pat Barker is a novel about a mental hospital for soldiers psychologically injured on the front line. It is unlike other novels and plays such as journey’s End by R.C. Sherriff which tells the story of front-line battle. The ways in which the war has had an effect on the soldiers is explored in great detail by Barker, perhaps to show that the effect the war has had on the characters, somehow has become part of their personality. Another theme Barker looks at is ‘Silence,’ which could link to her grandfather who refused to talk to her about his experiences in the war.
That is what telling a heart-wrenching story is all about, evoking emotions in a person to get the to understand the pain that a soldier felt in combat. Storytelling may have the fake events and the false information, but
These experiences of war can last a life time and can affect victims through post-traumatic stress developed due to the experience. “The Shoe Horn Sonata” highlights the horrors of war particularly for the women and civilians. The awful way the Japanese treated the POW is absolutely dreadful. These traumatic events have affected both women’s lives and after. These memories are tinged with guilt and shame.
The Vietnam War affected the lives of Vietnamese in the north in many ways. It affected them by making them hate Americans, living in harsh conditions, and suffering injuries from the war. It made bad memories and problems that last even to this day for the Vietnamese in the north. Not only did the men face these problems but the women as well. North Vietnamese were against the Americans during the war and had multiple reasons in hating Americans.
This gives the reader an image of thousands of soldiers dying on the battlefield, thus capturing the reader and pulling them into the story in order to try and depict what this scene was like. This can also be connected to third person narrator because Crane describes the internal conflict which Collins faces within himself, and the external conflict that Collins is facing as a soldier on the battlefield. Fred Collins believes that it is necessary to do a heroic deed. This is because war places pressure on the soldiers to feel as though they are able to make a difference and have an important place in defending the country. Throughout the story, Crane uses descriptive imagery in order to put an image of the
