Chapter 1 : Paul and his friends have just returned from the front, but they lost almost half of the men in their company. The men are starving, and Ginger the cook is shocked to see that so few of the men have returned. He has made dinner for 150 men and only 80 have returned. He has strict orders only to give each man his own little ration. Paul's company commander convinces Ginger to let the men eat as much as they like.
It is similar to source Y in that its main message is to describe the conditions of the camps, as well as the lack of shelter and horrific weather. However it does disagree with source W, content wise as it says that in the last two weeks, hardly any supplies have reached the troops which they say is due to the weather. However it does not suggest any blame attached to the supply methods of those back home, and only to natural causes. As well as this source Y supports source X in the suggestion of disease spread, saying that all cooking was done outside, with the rain often putting the fire out. This alludes that disease spread as he food was unable to cook properly and therefore people may have caught disease from food poisoning.
Additionally, Vladek often found meticulous jobs in the camps in return for food and supplies for his admirable talent; even if it was for the Nazis. For instance, after Vladek taught the Guards English, he was allowed to choose whatever supplies he considered necessary, and was presented with an enormous amount of food; on these special occasions it would allow Vladek to regain hope in his survival. Word spread fast about Vladek’s “talent” that even the Gestapo, who sought to have their boots repaired, approached Vladek. Although Vladek was not a skilled in the arts of shoemaking, he was capable to exchange a ration of bread to have an experienced shoemaker fix the boot, who gladly announced to Vladek that “for a day's ration of bread I can fix anything!” (Pg.61). Returning with a perfectly sown boot to the Gestapo, Vladek was rewarded with a whole sausage for his exceptional work.
My initial reaction to reading this excerpt from Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” was one of awe, with a hand over my mouth for the better part of the reading. There is also a side of me that is not so surprised by any of it. The more I learn of our country’s history where government and business are concerned, the more I realize that the almighty dollar, greed, the pursuit of power, and a total disregard for average Americans and their welfare seems to be the order of operations. Upton Sinclair, a self-made success and man of meager beginnings, most likely championed such a crusade against the meat packing industry, as well as the government because of his impoverished upbringing, which would have given him first-hand knowledge and experience
Emily Booth How far do the sources agree that Captain Nolan was to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade? Source 3 agrees that Captain Nolan was to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade because it says that Nolan was headstrong and critical of the cavalry and its commanders, implying that due to his characteristics it was likely he would have went against orders given to him. This source is quite reliable because it is an extract from a journal meaning it would be an honest as it is self written only for that person to read. However, Source 2 disagrees with this and says that Nolan wasn’t to blame because he was merely aide-de-camp indicating that he was acting as an assistant only carrying on orders from another officer. If Nolan was acting as a military assistant to a more senior officer, he wouldn’t be critical of its commanders as suggested in Source 3, because it would be in his role to follow orders.
The two sources indicate she made a good impression on the men by helping them throughout the war with her presence and remedies. On the other hand Source 3 indicates she didn’t make a difference and source 1 partly agrees. Source 3 tells us Seacole deserved no credit and what she ran was a “bad house” of ”much drunkenness” which we can only conclude that Seacole was maybe disturbance in the Crimea. Source 2 tells us her “nourishment” which could have been alcohol was appreciated but “most soldiers strongly objected to going there”. This shows that Seacole in the Crimea may have been unnecessary.
Maybe it was something about the bus, but Hurricane Katrina of thoughts came back into his mind, ravaging his mind and his heart. He couldn't understand any of it. The notion that she liked him, but kissed Tom Phillips was impossible to wrap his mind around, it made him sick, it made his chest feel like one of those stupid elephants was sitting on it. He couldn't understand why it hurt him so much. Sure they only spent a short amount of time together, so it wouldn't bother most people.
Many critics believe that their failure is due to lack of concentration, poor planning and unpreparedness. In the reports, Administrative Breakdowns in the Governmental Response to Hurricane Katrina by Saundra K. Schneider
It also shows that they are disorganized and they had no orders as there were soldiers being shown running around or throwing up because they had drunk so much. However the film is not very reliable as it was a romantic film and the writer tried to make Dunkirk look as terrible as possible. Dunkirk was a success because of the good discipline that was shown by the soldiers and the united British people who send fishing boats to collect their
Most athletes are well aware of a fun little word called “inflammation”.1 Tough workouts are a common cause of inflammation. Acute inflammation (the only kind most people are aware of) is actually beneficial.2, 3 But – and this is a big BUT – chronic inflammation is a killer. Literally.4, 5, 6 The difference here is important, and very misunderstood. One of the biggest health benefits of consuming a Paleo diet comes from its anti-inflammatory nature.7, 8, 9 By fixing the Standard American Diet (SAD) ratio of high omega-6 to low omega-3, nearly everyone sees improvements.10, 11 But before we proceed further, let’s specify and define acute inflammation and chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation is what occurs when you get a bruise, cut, experience stress, or go through a hard workout.12 I used to
