The official image of the Australian soldier is one of nobility and just, however this image is somewhat ill-informed. ANZAC’s were not always disciplined and clean, quite the opposite. At Gallipoli the conditions were very poor and the fighting was extremely difficult. However, the attitude of ANZAC soldiers to the war was one of determination and sometimes humour. These ideals shaped all the writings and articles about the ANZAC’s and created the ANZAC spirit.
Through even the hardest times of war, he never lost sight of the freedom he was chasing for himself and every American citizen. With his brave spirit and courageous skill on and of the battlefield, he led America to one of the most important victories in our history. When General Braddock asked George to accept his commission as Commander of the Continental Army, there was no hesitation. Washington was chosen for his talents in land surveying, which gave them an advantage over the British, and his brilliant skill as a unifying leader. He always had an uplifting attitude toward with his soldiers so they would not get discouraged in this long fight for freedom.
Although Sassoon appears to be, and in many ways is, an exemplary soldier-poet, he is as flawed and contradictory as any other figure in ‘Regeneration’. His German first name and Jewish family name compromise his status as an officer and a gentleman, just as his ‘Declaration’ is a surprising departure from his previously unblemished military record; while there is no doubt that Sassoon embarks upon his protest with the best of intentions, and as York Notes says “he has little grasp of the intricacies of his situation.” Stanhope is the Captain in command of an infantry company on the front line; although he is a highly ranked officer, Stanhope “no more than a boy”. He has been out in the trenches for nearly three years, “he came straight from school when he was eighteen”, and has commanded his company for a year. The play begins with a conversation between Osborne and Hardy, both officers themselves, and it is from them that the reader gains a first impression of Stanhope. His drink problem is immediately addressed as Hardy asks, “Drinking like a
We couldn’t help other soldiers who were sick nor give a proper funeral to other soldiers died because of diseases. We count ourselves as lucky to survive in that harsh condition. Even though Washington was a quick tempered man, we (the soldiers) liked him and his ability to hold together the army. He always cared about the soldiers first and asked support from congress even though it was tough because there were threats to his leadership. He also recruit Native Americans to fight against British.
It is his duty and job as a soldier to feel no pity for they are the enemy; he finds this task too hard. As he sees one prisoner is in a particular amount of pain “In order to cheer him up a bit I tell him a few stories, soldier jokes and the likes.” (198) He understands the “welfare of others” placing him at a stage five in the end of the
Module 2 Assignment Dear Mr. Williams: I would like to commend you on your recent completion of a successful overseas deployment and receipt of the prestigious Naval Commendation Medal. It comes to no surprise that you would continue to be successful after having the opportunity to work with you on previous deployments. As my squad leader, you effectively mentored your personnel and flawlessly led the team to accomplish over 200 security missions in the Al Anbar Provence. It is evident that your ability to accept and assume increasingly higher roles of responsibilities has led to this great achievement. You have always emulated yourself in a position higher than that of the one you are responsible for, always going above and beyond what is expected of you.
Many people support the troops even if they are against this war. This would be something that could strengthen or weaken his argument. He then proceeds to describe his experience with examples of horrible living conditions and saying, “ he had never known a loneliness like it” (606). This is another choice of words that make the readers wonder why anyone should endure this sort of pain. Gurganus continues to strengthen
I was always amazed by the way other people responded to him in public. His example taught me the importance of respect. Family gatherings were very special. Family unity was stressed as the bond that held us together given any situation. My father was an optimist.
Okonkwo's one and only weakness was his fear of becoming a failure like his father. This fear drove Okonkwo to embrace the values of manliness and fueled his desire to be strong; which then drove him to rashness and in the end contributed to his death. Accepting the ways of manhood isn’t a sign of weaknesses, the problem is how narrowly he defines it. Okonkwo was part of a patriarchal society and the male gender was already established with great authority. For Okonkwo, however, any kind of softness and tenderness was a sign of weakness.
Al Gore’s effort to save the climate was a failure, yet his pride refused to give in. Al Gore disrespected many other political figures and caused disgust throughout America. Many people expressed their disgust towards Gore throughout media. Al Gore’s loss in the presidential election resulted directly from his arrogance and refusal to admit failure. The feeling of superiority in an overbearing manner infected many famous figures throughout history.
