General Douglas MacArthur stated, “Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, that if you lose, the Nation will be destroyed, that the very obsession of your public service must be duty, honor, country. First, professionals are who and what they are because they acquire expertise. They produce uniquely expert work, not routine or repetitive work. Doctors, Lawyers and Soldiers all share in this unique responsibility. Effectiveness, rather than pure efficiency, is the key to the work of professionals—the sick want a cure, the accused want exoneration, and the defenseless seek security.
Because leadership is based on action, it emerges as a function of participation and interaction within the organization. Given this description, how can leadership be nothing? Leadership is nothing in the sense that it seems impossible to define completely. JROTC’s goal to build leadership is to keep the military full of these people because nobody stays forever. So when these leaders step down or are KIA then new leaders must fill in the spots.

They would always do something to him as they found out that his father was a Clerk.

The language devices that Grenville has chosen to communicate the conflict Grenville has uses three language devices to
I think the narrator is a strong, proud, not easily influenced, and stoic. The many events and experiences when he was so young made him a strong person inside. In this narrative, Sherman Alexie argues the fact that just because people have looked down upon you and judged you your entire life based upon race; it does not mean you cannot do something important with your life. I think the author hopes to get this message across and inspire people of his own race and other races to succeed even though no support is offered. The first audience is the Native American population.

Descending from difficult households, both my parents moved from Mexico to the United States in hopes to build better lives for my brother and I. Living alone in a foreign country has never been easy, however. My parents have built our lives from scratch with no outside family support. When I was young, my dad was always switching from menial job to menial job in hopes of find something better. My mom always helped out as best she could, at times selling coke and candy to neighbors, but her primary concern was always taking care of her children.
Though I am not proud of what I did, those were the best times of my life until I became part of God’s church. Raised in a small town in Mississippi, my father was never predestined for greatness. He was raised on southern hospitality, style, and values. These values consisted of church every Sunday, daily football games, and family reunions at dinner. With my grandmother being a school teacher my father was naturally inclined to stand out from the other kids in his class through determination, and shear force from his mother to complete his homework.
Wesley lives under the shadow of his brother Frank and as the story progresses he is slowly escaping it. However, despite Wesley’s wilted physique and lack of superiority in the Hayden family hierarchy, he possesses a great deal of moral virtue and mental strengths. First of all, Wesley’s leg injury leads to other factors to develop Wesley as a better and stronger man. In his life he goes through many obstacles, such as his failure to go to war, and thus becoming the underdog of the Hayden family. This is discovered when the patriarch, Julian Hayden, says to his son Wesley “Ever since the war…Ever since Frank came home in a uniform and you stayed home, you’ve been jealous” (118).
