His views fell between those of Clemenceau and those of Wilson. He was under huge pressure from the public to punish Germany. Yet at the same time he believed he should not punish Germany too harshly. He saw this action as disastrous for future peace, for Germany would seek revenge in the near future if the treaty was too harsh. “We want a peace which will be just, but not vindictive.
The first technique that I will be discussing is rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is a question asked for effect that neither expects nor requires an answer in the poem Exposure there two rhetorical questions and they both go back to Owens hatred of war the first quote is “what are we doing here?” even though the soldiers know they are here to fight for the war they have started to question it due to the fact that they are now facing a new war on which they dislike very much, this new war is the war against the weather the other rhetorical question is “is it that we are dying? ” during the war the soldiers wanted out of the war so badly the wanted to die. The hatred they felt for he war was flowing through there veins “but nothing happened” they were freezing cold and getting shot at by the enemy who would not want out of that? The next technique that I will be showing is repetition.
In William Shakespeare’s play, Henry VIII, a bitter tone, structured figurative language, and biblical allusions are employed by the author in the process of conveying Cardinal Wolsey’s complex response to his dismissal from court. Shakespeare’s use of biblical allusions brings emphasis to the extent of Cardinal Wolsey’s downfall to that of Lucifer’s, the author reflects Wolsey’s lack of hope. This allusion serves as a tool to help establish the idea that Cardinal Wolsey has fallen from a grace he shall never return from. He expects himself to live in a life full of shame and misery after his dismissal. Through the use of figurative language a powerful understanding of Wolsey’s despair is established.
A Guru, later, explained that there are some justifications for war when diplomacy fails. “J. Ferguson, a poet, a believer of peace until no other option is left. He thinks that when all the effort to make/ restore peace fails, and seems to be useless, it is right to fight.” (doc. 2) Doc.4, scriptures from the New Testament: The scriptures taken from Jesus’ teachings explain to followers to love their enemies.
In the end I believe it turned into a complete anti-military novel as Caputo tried to understand the purpose of the war. The inevitable answer was that America had no reason to be in Vietnam and only put their people at harm as the government ordered them to stay. Before entering the war, the country truly did not understand what war meant. “So I guess every generation is doomed to fight its war, to endure the same old experiences, suffer the loss of the same old illusions, and learn the same old lessons on its own” (81). Caputo reveals his true feelings throughout the story.
In the poem, a veteran is expressing his opposition towards the war, and criticizing the way the government tries to compensate the war veterans by honoring them with pointless memorabilia that will never make them feel proud of their participation in the war. Instead of creating highways and postage stamps in their name, he only wants to educate the people of a “simple recognition/ of the limits of our nation to inflict our will on others./ What I wanted was an understanding that the world is neither black-and-white/ nor ours”(lines 8-13). He expresses his outrage toward the Western mentality that caused an absurd war that only brought negative repercussions. The world cannot be the way a group of leaders decides it to be because the beauty of this world is that it is diverse and full of different aspects. He accentuates the need for the people to understand that no one is superior to another, and the differences among humans should be accepted and welcomed.
The only conclusion to such a situation is death. Jesus said, "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened" (Matt. 24:22). Sin is rebellion against God and His created order, but God has not left us alone in this fallen world. He continued to enter this world, pointing us to Himself, to truth, to morality, purity, and love.
The Irrecoverable Good Old Days: An analysis of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, strongly demonstrates that precaution be taken for reliving the past. Gatsby’s death illustrates how delicate life is when individuals are not aware of there own present surroundings. An important idea expressed in the novel is that human’s awful tendency to use deception on ones own out of reach desires, so they can believe that there past obsession will one day be true, will perpetually lead to the utter destruction and isolation of oneself. Daisy’s love life with Gatsby in the past is brought up multiple times, revealing the obsession Gatsby has of Daisy, notably his past depiction of her through the
